_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ Sit by [Bbm] my _ [Eb] side, come as close [Fm] as the _ [Ab] air,
_ Share [Eb] in a memory of [Gm] gray,
_ _ [Cm] _
Wander [Fm] in my _ _ words,
[Bb] _
Dream [Eb] about the pictures that [Fm] I played
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] Of changes.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
Green [Eb] leaves of summer _ turn red [Fm] in the fall,
_ [Ab]
Too brown and [Bb] too yellow [Gm] they _ fade,
[Fm] And then they have to _ die,
[Bb] _ Trapped [Eb] within the circle [Fm] time _ _ parade
[F] _ _ _ [Eb] Of changes. _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ Scenes of [Bb] my young [Eb] years were warm in my [Fm] mind,
_ _ [Ab] _ Visions [Bb] of shadows that [Gm] _ shine,
[C] Till one [Fm] day I returned,
_ _ [Bb]
And found they [Eb] were the victims [Fm] of the _ _ _ _ [F] _ vines Of changes. _ _ _ _
The [Ab] world spinning [Bb] madly, it drifts in [Fm] the _ dark,
[Ab] _
_ Swings through [Eb] a hollow of [Gm]
haze,
_ _ [G] A race [Fm] around the stars,
A [Bb] journey [Eb] through the universe [Fm] _ _ ablaze
[F] _
_ _ [Eb] _ With _ changes.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] Moments of magic will glow in [Fm] the night,
_ [Ab] All fears [Eb] of the forest [Gm] are gone,
_ [Cm] But when the [Fm] morning _ breaks,
[F] They're swapped [Eb] away by _ golden drops of dawn
_ _ [Bb] Of _ [Eb] _ _ changes.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ Passions will part [Eb] to a [Ab] strange [Fm] melody, _ _
[Ab] As fires [Bb] will _ sometimes [Gm] burn cold,
_ [C] Like petals [Fm] in the wind,
_ [Bb] We're puppets [Eb] to the silver [Ab] strings of [Fm] _ _ souls
[Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ Of changes.
_ _ _ _ Your [Ab] _
tears will be [Bb] trembling, now [Eb] we're somewhere _ [Fm] else,
One [Ab] last cup [Bb] of wine [Bb] we will [Gm] pour, _
And [Cm] I'll kiss you one more [F] _
time,
[Bb] And leave you [Eb] on the rolling [F] river shore
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Eb] Of changes. _
_ _ So _ [Ab] sit by my [Bb] side, come as close as [Fm] the _ air,
_ [Ab]
Share in a [Eb] memory of [Gm] gray,
_ _ [Cm] _ _ Wander [Fm] in my _ words,
_ [Bb] _ Dream [Eb] about the pictures [Fm] that I _ play _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ Of changes.
