Title: It's Too Late
Artist: Carole King
transcribed: rjmcpher@uci.edu
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 G7sus 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--
