Judy Collins (born Judith Marjorie Collins on May 1, 1939, in Seattle, Washington) is an American singer and songwriter known for the eclectic range of material she records (which has included folk, show tunes, pop, and rock and roll, as well as and standards) and for her social activism. Beginning in 1959, she was drawn to the music of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, and the traditional songs of the folk revival of the early 1960s. In 1968 she was awarded a Grammy for "Both Sides Now".

BOTH SIDES NOW by Joni Mitchell performed by Judy Collins
GCG Bows and flows of angel hair, CG And ice cream castles in the air, CC/BAm And feather canyons everywhere: D I've looked at clouds that way. GCG But now they only block the sun, CG They rains and snow on everyone. CC/BAm So many things I could have done, D But clouds got in my way.
GCG I've looked at clouds from both sides now, CGCG From up and down, and still somehow BCG It's clouds' illusions I recall GCGECG I really don't know clouds at all.
Moons and Junes and ferris wheels, The dizzy, dancing way you feel, When every fairy tale comes real: I've looked at love that way. But now it's just another show, You leave them, laughing as you go. And if you care, don't let them know. Don't give yourself away.
I've looked at love from both sides now, From give and take, and still somehow It's love's illusions I recall I really don't know love at all.
Tears and fears and feeling proud, To say, "I love you" right out loud; Dreams and schemes and circus crowds; I've looked at life that way. But now old friends are acting strange. They shake their heads, they say I've changed. But something's lost and something's gained In living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now, From win and lose, and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all.
