Runrig - All Things Must Change

all things must change – – runrig
key of A# , most easily played G capo 3 .

[ verse ]
G D
the road was long , our steps were new
C G
the storms of innocence , strong and fresh they blew
G D
directions turned , love changing hands
C G
we stood like gods before , all our maps and plans
D C G
but all , all things must change
D C G
so don’t look back , just walk away

[ verse ]
that morning dawn , with no regrets
we stood in line , we laughed in silhouette ,
on the learning ground , the place we loved best
that was our final time , out in the west
but all , all things must change
so don’t look back , just walk away .

[ bridge ]
C G
now the cars come like rivers , night comes like madness
G
songs come like trains
C Em G D
headlights flash in the darkness , memories twist in the rain
C G
and we feel those flickering moments , like silk they’re the flags of our days
C Em D G
and the past is only the part of life we’ve thrown away .

[ verse ]
the river’s dark , in constant flow ,
swollen by winter streams , and the melting snow
i see your face , across the miles
to where some kindness showed our fate intertwined .
but all , all things must change
so don’t look back , just walk away

but all , all things must change ,
so don’t look back , just walk away

i’m a singer – songwriter , and i perform this song fairly regularly . when i play it , it’s
usually in a simple arrangement with acoustic guitar or guitar+ keyboard . i use a simple
flatpicking pattern on the first and last verses , play normal rhythm guitar on the 2nd
verse and bridge .

i’m not quite sure about the bridge , but that should work . runrig is an amazing band
with some incredible songs , and i’d encourage you to listen to all of their music! cheers!
