[C#] [E]
[F#m] [C#]
[E] [A] Sit [B] by my side, come [E] as close as [F#m] the air,
[A] Share in [B] a memory [G#m] of gray,
[C#m] And wander in [F#m] my words,
[B] And dream about [E] the pictures that [F#m] I play
[B]
[E] Of changes.
[A] Green leaves of [B] summer [E] turn red in [F#m] the fall,
[A] To brown and [B] to yellow they [G#m] fade,
[C#m] Then they [F#m] have to die,
[B] Trapped within [E] the circle [F#m] time parade
[B]
[E] Of changes.
[A]
[C#] [E] [F#m]
[A] [C#] [E]
[A] Moments [B] of magic will [E] glow in the [F#m] night,
All [A] fears of the [B] forest [G#m] are gone,
[C#m] But when the morning [F#m] breaks,
[B] They're swept away by [F#] golden drops of [F#m] dawn
[B] [E] Of changes.
[A] Passions will [B] part [E] to a warm [F#m] melody,
[A] As fires will [B] sometimes [G#m] turn cold,
[C#m] Like petals in [F#m] the wind,
[B] We're puppets to [E] the silver strings [F#] of souls
[B] [E] Of changes.
[A] [C#]
[E] [F#m] [A]
[B] [E]
[A] Your tears [B] will be trembling,
[E] Now we're somewhere [F#m] else,
One [A] last cup [B] of wine we will [G#m] pour,
[C#m] I'll kiss you one [F#m] more time,
[B] And leave you on the rolling [F#m] river shore
[B] [E] Of changes.
