CHANGES (Phil Ochs © 1963, renewed 1991 Barricade Music, Inc.)
F G C Am
1. Sit by my side, come as close as the air,
F G Am F Dm
Share in a mem'ry of gray; / (And) wander in my words,
G C Am F->G C
Dream about the pictures that I play of Changes.F G C Am
2. Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall.
F G Am F Dm
To brown and to yellow they fade. / And then they have to die,
G C Am F->G C
Trapped within the circle-time parade of Changes.F G C Am
3. Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind,
F G Am F Dm
Visions of shadows that shine, / Till one day I returned
G C Am F->G C
And found they were the victims of the vines of Changes.F G C Am
4. The world's spinning madly, it drifts in the dark,
F G Am F Dm
Swings through a hollow of haze, / A race around the stars,
G C Am F->G C
A journey through the universe ablaze with Changes.F G C Am
5. Moments of magic will glow in the night;
F G Am F Dm
All fears of the forest are gone, / But when the morning breaks
G C Am F->G C
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn, of Changes.F G C Am
6. Passions will part to a strange melody.
F G Am F Dm
As fires will sometimes burn cold. / Like petals in the wind,
G C Am F->G C
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls, of Changes.F G C Am
7. Your tears will be trembling. Now we're somewhere else.
F G Am F Dm
One last cup of wine we will pour, / And I'll kiss you one more time,
G C Am F->G C
And leave you on the rolling river shores of Changes.(repeat first verse)
