Chords for Those Magic Changes (Broadway/Original Cast Version/1972)

Hey, hey, Tootie!
Where did you get the guitar?
Ah, I just started taking lessons during vacation.
I was just working on a G chord.
I already know a C and an A minor and an F.
Hey, that's terrific!
Hey, why don't you play something for us, Elvis?
Yeah, come on!
Oh, okay.
Lesson four.
[A] Magic Changes by Ronnie Dell.
[F] Yeah, that's a good one.
[G] _ [C] C, C, C, C, C, [A] C, C, A, A, A, A [F] minor,
F, F, F, F, [G] F, F, F, G, G, G, [C] G7,
C, C, C, C, [Am] C, C, C, A, A, A [F] minor,
F, F, [G] F, F, G, G, G, [C] G7.
What's that playing [Am] on the radio?
[F] Why do eyes [G] start swaying to and fro?
[C] I have never [Am] heard that song before.
[F] But if I [G] don't hear it anymore,
[C] it's still familiar [Am] to me,
sends a thrill [F] right through me,
cause those chords remind [G] me of the night
that I first [C] fell in love too.
[Am] Those magic changes
[F] my [G] heart arranges.
[C] A melody [Am] that's never the [F] same,
a melody [G] that's calling your [C] name
and begs you please [Am] come back to [F] me,
[G] please return to me.
[C] Don't go away again,
[Am] won't make them play again,
[F] the music I want to hear [G] is once again
you [C] whisper in my [Am] ear.
_ [F] _ _ [G] C, [C] _ [Am] C, C, C, C, C, C, [F] C, A, A, A minor,
F, _ [G] F, F, F, F, F, G, [C] G, G7.
I'll be waiting [A] by the radio,
[F] you'll come back to [G] me someday I know,
[C] been so long since [A] I sent you last goodbye,
[F] but I'm singing [G] as I cry,
[C] my bass is [Am] sounding while the drums
are [F] pounding beating on my broken [G] heart.
The prize you broke my silent [C] shot.
Oh, my [Am] heart arranges,
[F] those [G] magic changes,
