changes chords
gordon lightfoot ( phil ochs 1966 )
capo ii
Am D Em Am
sit by my side come as close as the air ,
D Bm
sharin’ a memory of grey
Em C
and wander in my words ,
D Em Am D
and dream about the pictures that i play ,
G
of changes
Am D Em Am
green leaves of summer turn red in the fall ,
D Bm
to brown and to yellow they fade
Em C
and then they have to die ,
D Em Am D
trapped within the circle time parade ,
G
of changes
Am D Em Am
Am D Em D
Am D Em Am
moments of magic will glow in the night ,
D Bm
all fears of the forest are gone
Em C
for when the morning breaks ,
D Em Am D
they’re swept away by golden drops of dawn ,
G
of changes
Am D Em Am
passions will part to a warm melody ,
D Bm
as fires will sometimes turn cold
Em C
like petals in the wind ,
D Em Am D
we’re puppets to the silver strings of souls ,
G
of changes
Am D Em Am
Am D Em D
Am D Em Am
your tears will be trembling now we’re somewhere else ,
D Bm
one last cup of wine we will pour
Em C
i’ll kiss you one more time ,
D Em Am D
and leave you on the rolling river shore ,
G
of changes
Am D Em Am
Am D Em D
