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!
