#1.
GBows and Cflows of GAngel hair, and ice cream 
Bmcastles Cin the Gair.
And feather Ccanyons Ameverywhere, I've looked 
at clouds that Dway.
But Gnow they Conly Gblock the sun, they rain and 
Bmsnow on CeveryGone.
So many Cthings I Amwould have done, but clouds got 
in my Dway.
CHORUS:
I've Glooked at Cclouds from Gboth sides now..
from Cup and Gdown, and Cstill someGhow,
it's Bmclouds ill..Cusions GI recall..
I really Cdon't know Gclouds.D...at Gall.C  G  
#2.
GMoons and CJunes and GFerris Wheels, the dizzy Bmdancing 
Cway you Gfeel..
as every Cfairy-Amtale comes real..I've looked at love 
that Dway.
But, Gnow it's Cjust anGother show..you leave 'em Bmlaughing 
Cwhen you Ggo.
And if you Ccare, don't let Amthem know, don't give 
yourself aDway.
CHORUS:
I've Glooked at Cclouds from Gboth sides now..
from Cwin and Glose, and Cstill someGhow,
it's Bmclouds ill..Cusions GI recall..
I really Cdon't know Gclouds.D...at Gall.C  G  
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.

castles in the air.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now..

Moons and Junes and Ferris Wheels, the dizzy dancing

as every fairy-tale comes real..I've looked at love

that way.

And if you care, don't let them know, don't give

yourself away.

I've looked at clouds from both sides now..
