Changes    (video)    (midi)

 

     .... F - D    - F - D    - F

 

   C                                             - Em

1.    Still don’t know what I was          waiting for,

                  F                           G 

    and my time was running wild a million dead-end streets.

C                                           - Em

    And every time I thought I           got it made,

                            F                            G 

    it seemed the taste was not so sweet.

             C             Dm    Em         - F      Dm                           G

    So I turned myself to face me,      but I’ve never caught a glimpse

                      C                 Dm        Em    - F 

    of how the others must see the faker

                          Dm                   G

    it’s much too fast to take that test.

 

                              C                  Em           Am

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange,

                         - F            Dm               F                - G

ch-ch-changes,       don’t want to be a richer man.

                              C                   Em           Am

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange,

                          - F       Dm                           F

ch-ch-changes,       it’s gonna have to be a different man.

  C     Am     Bb      F        Dm C      F      C     

Time may change me, but I can’t trace time.

    C                                 Em

2.     I watch the ripples change their size,

            F                          G

    but never leave the stream of warm impermanence,

C                                       Em

    and so the days float through my eyes,

            F                                  G

    but still the days seem the same.

                         C        - Dm             Em             F

    And these children         that you spit on as they

Dm                               G

    try to change their worlds,

                 C                 - Dm      Em            - F

    are immune to your         consultations,  

                            Dm                                        G

    they’re quite aware of what they’re going through.

 

                              C                  Em           Am

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange,

                         - F                              Dm               F           - G

ch-ch-changes,      don’t tell them to grow up and out of it.

                              C                  Em           Am

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange,

                          - F    

ch-ch-changes,        where’s your shame,

            Dm                     F

you’ve left us up to our necks in it.

  C     Am     Bb      F           Dm  C      F      C

Time may change me, but you can’t trace time.

 

       F                                     C

+  Strange fascination, fascinating me,

              F                                 G

    oh, changes are taking the pace I’m going through.

 

                              C                  Em           Am

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange,

                         - F          Dm                   F          - G

ch-ch-changes,       look out you rock’n rollers.

                              C                  Em           Am

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange,

                         - F                     Dm                              F

ch-ch-changes,      pretty soon now you’re gonna get older.

  C     Am     Bb      F        Dm C      F      C     

Time may change me, but I can’t trace time.

                 C     Am     Bb      F        Dm C      F      C

I said that time may change me, but I can’t trace time.
