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