Intro -x2-: Gb B Gb B

Verse:
Gb        Abm       B     Gb                  Bbm     B      Gb
Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
            B            Abm          B                     Db
And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way.
    Gb        Abm   B         Gb                  Bbm     B    Gb
But now they only block the sun, they rain and snow on everyone.
        B        Abm                  B                Db
So many things I would have done but clouds got in my way.

Chorus:
     Gb         Abm          B          Gb
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
     B      Gb         B         Gb
From up and down, and still somehow
     Bbm      B       Gb
It's clouds illusions I recall.
  B                 Db  Dbsus4 Db    Gb
I really don't know clouds     at all.

Interlude -x2-: Gb B Gb B

Verse:
Gb         Abm        B      Gb                 Bbm     B       Gb
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels, the dizzy dancing way you feel
         B     Abm                    B                   Db
As every fairy tale comes real; I've looked at love that way.
    Gb        Abm    B      Gb                   Bbm      B        Gb
But now it's just another show, you leave 'em laughing when you go
           B           Abm                   B              Db
And if you care, don't let them know, don't give yourself away.

Chorus:
     Gb         Abm        B          Gb
I've looked at love from both sides now,
     B        Gb         B         Gb
From give and take, and still somehow
     Bbm      B       Gb
It's love's illusions I recall.
  B                 Db Dbsus4 Db    Gb
I really don't know love      at all.

Interlude -x2-: Gb B Gb B

Verse:
Gb         Abm        B       Gb               Bbm       B         Gb
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "I love you" right out loud,
           B           Abm                  B                   Db
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, I've looked at life that way.
    Gb       Abm          B      Gb                         Bbm         B
But now old friends are acting strange, they shake their heads, they say
     Gb
I've changed.
                B        Abm                    B            Db
But something's lost but something's gained in living every day.

Chorus:
     Gb         Abm        B          Gb
I've looked at life from both sides now,
     B       Gb         B         Gb
From win and lose, and still somehow
     Bbm      B       Gb
It's life's illusions I recall.
  B                 Db Dbsus4 Db    Gb
I really don't know life      at all.

Interlude -x2-: Gb B Gb B

     Gb         Abm        B          Gb
I've looked at life from both sides now,
     B      Gb         B         Gb
From up and down, and still somehow
     Bbm      B       Gb
It's life's illusions I recall.
  B                 Db Dbsus4 Db    Gb
I really don't know life      at all.

Transpose it +1 it sounds much better (in my opinion)

Zchay

^ No it doesn’t, its just easier to do

Scott mcadam

Great tab ! One small mistake A7 should be replaced with Amaj7 . So only scores 9/10 🙂

michell

I think that A7 sounds completely wrong. It should be a C#minor. It’s a tough chord to play, but just keep it in mind when you do your transposing. I like playing this transposed -2 (it’s easier on my alto voice range). So the first chords are G Bm Am Dsus4 and D. Not too hard. Hope that helps anyone who’s struggling with the way the second chord sounds.

Josephine.innit

-2 is easiest for beginners! 😀

Rowiee

I transpose this 3 half steps up and on the firtst line i change the C7 to an Am and it sounds a lot better!

Ukulelefish

Aha monkey chimp 109 i know what u mean about the E chord 😉 i cant play it either my hands are too small!

ally

play the E chord 4402 it’s easier for me

Amelie

It didn’t sound right for me so I used the Lily Allen version for notes. I did have to improvise for the parts she doesn’t sing but I think it sounds much better! 🙂

crazyforuku

Rowiee its easier to play but it doesn’t sound better.
