Clouds Of Loneliness chords by Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot - Clouds Of Loneliness


CAPO: 2nd Fret



[INTRO:] Cmaj7  Am7  Dm7  G

[VERSE 1:]
Cmaj7      Am7
What can you do, you'll never win
Dm7          G
Where will you go when night closes in
Cmaj7        Am7
Where will it lead, will it ever end
Dm7         G      E7     Am
Where will it stop, losing a friend isn't
        F       Am
What we had in mind exactly
         D        Am
All we need is a friend I guess
         F           C
With my midnight star to guide through
     G   Am  G/B
Clouds of loneliness

[VERSE 2:]
Cmaj7       Am7
You knew someone, but was it love
Dm7      G
So many years, push came to shove
Cmaj7        Am7
You had a dream, so they had one too
Dm7       G      E7      Am
You turned away, they were untrue, in our
       F         Am
Early days we were too willing
          D       Am
At the time we had yet to arrive
        F      C
Many a man and woman found
     G   Am  G/B
Trying to stay alive


[INSTRUMENTAL:] Cmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G


[VERSE 3:]
Cmaj7       Am7
Where will you go, what will you do
Dm7             G
When your whole world ain't talking to you
Cmaj7      Am7
Maybe you think you will see the light
Dm7          G        E7
Maybe you'll find what you hope is right
    Am         F      Am
And I'm all dressed up to be somebody
        D       Am
All I need is a friendly face
         F            C
With my midnight crowd to glide through
     G   Am  G/B
Clouds of empty space


[INTERLUDE:] Cmaj7  Am7  Dm7  G E7


[VERSE 4:]
     Am       F      Am
Seems like every time we turn around
           D        Am
What we see could be anyone's guess
        F        C
Many a man and woman found in
     G   Am  G/B
Clouds of loneliness
