A D/E A

There's something in the way she moves,

Em D G A

Or looks my way, or calls my name,

Em G C D (*)

That seems to leave this troubled world behind.

A D/E A

And if I'm feeling down and blue,

Em D G A Or troubled by some foolish game,

Em G C A She always seems to make me change my mind.

Chorus:

A Em D A

And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,

F#m She's around me now

Bm7 Bm7/E Just about all the time

A Em D A

And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,

F#m Bm7 Bm7/E

She's been with me now quite a long, long time

A G D A - And I feel fine.___________

D C(add 9) G6/B C9 D- G6/B C9 D

Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning And I find myself careening C9 G6/B Em7 A7 Into places where I should not let me go.

D C9 G6/B C9 D

-- She has the power to go where no one else can find me

G6/B C9 D And to silently remind me

G6/B D A Bm7 Bm7/E

Of the happiness and the good times that I know, got to know.

__ TOO LATE

notes: Carole King plays the piano and I just arranged the piano chords

for solo acoustic guitar here. Note that you can substitue a D7 for the

D6 if you prefer the bluesy sound. I'll put my chord voicing choices at

the bottom but this is all from ear so feel free to choose different

chords.

It's Too Late (Carole King)

Am7 D6 (little riff notes E G A A A G E) (2x)

Am7 D6

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time

There's something wrong here there can be no denying

Am7 Gm7 Fmaj7

One of us is changing or maybe we've just stopped trying

|[chorus]

| Bbmaj7 Fmaj7

|And it's too late, baby, now it's too late

|Though we really did try to make it

| Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 Dm7 E7sus4 E7

|Something inside has died and I can't hide and I just can't fake it

Am7 D6

It used to be so easy living here with you

You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do

Am7 Gm7 Fmaj7

Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool

--chorus--

--instrumental built on alternate chord changes--

Dm7 Fmaj7 G7sus4 G7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7

Am7 D6

There'll be good times again for me and you

But we just can't stay together don't you feel it too

Am7 Gm7 Fmaj7

Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

--chorus--

chords:

Am7 = x02010 or 575555 D6 = 200202 or x00777

D7 = x54500 (it is really D13 -5 but it substitutes for D6 well)
