Its Too Late

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)

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time

There's something wrong here there can be no denying

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

|[chorus]

|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

It used to be so easy living here with you

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

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

There'll be good times again for me and you

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

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

--chorus--
