Changes
Gordon Lightfoot (Words & Music Phil Ochs)

Capo 2nd fret

G         A            D            Em
Sit by my side come as close as the air
G         A         F#m
Sharin' a memory of grey
    Bm           Em
And wander in my words
    A               D               Em   A
And dream about the pictures that I play
   D

G               A           D          Em
Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall
   G            A           F#m
To brown and to yellow they fade
    Bm                Em
And then they have to die
A                  D             Em    A
Trapped within the circle time parade
   D

G          A          D           Em
Moments of magic will glow in the night
    G            A          F#m
All fears of the forest are gone
    Bm               Em
For when the morning breaks
        A             D               Em    A
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn
   D

G             A         D        Em
Passions will part to a warm melody
   G          A              F#m
As fires will sometimes turn cold
     Bm            Em
Like petals in the wind
      A              D                 Em    A
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls
   D

     G             A             D               Em
Your tears will be trembling now we're somewhere else
    G           A            F#m
One last cup of wine we will pour
     Bm                Em
I'll kiss you one more time
    A                D             Em    A
And leave you on the rolling river shore
   D
