Song written by Phil Ochs

lyrics

Changes Phil Ochs

- Instrumental verse -
(C) Sit by my (D)side, come as (G)close as the (Am)air,
(C) Share in a (D)memory of (Bm)gray,
And (Em)wander in my (Am)words,
(D) Dream about the (G)pictures that I (Am)pla(D)y
Of (G)changes.

(C) Green leaves of (D)summer turn (G)red in the (Am)fall,
To (C)brown and to (D)yellow they (Bm)fade.
And (Em)then they have to (Am)die,
(D)Trapped within the (G)circle time pa(Am)r(D)ade
Of (G)changes.

(C) Scenes of my (D)young years were (G)warm in my (Am)mind,
(C) Visions of (D)shadows that (Bm)shine.
'Til (Em)one day I re(Am)turned
And (D)found they were the (G)victims of the (Am)v(D)ines
Of (G)changes.

The (C)world's spinning (D)madly, it (G)drifts in the (Am)dark,
(C) Swings through a (D)hollow of (Bm)haze,
A (Em)race around the (Am)stars,
A (D)journey through the (G)universe a(Am)bl(D)aze
With (G)changes.
- Instrumental verse -

(C) Moments of (D)magic will (G)glow in the (Am)night,
All (C)fears of the (D)forest are (Bm)gone.
But (Em)when the morning (Am)breaks,
They're (D)swept away by (G)golden drops of (Am)d(D)awn,
Of (G)changes.

(C) Passions will (D)part to a (G)strange melo(Am)dy,
As (C)fires will (D)sometimes burn (Bm)cold.
Like (Em)petals in the (Am)wind,
We're (D)puppets to the (G)silver strings of (Am)so(D)uls,
Of (G)changes.

Your (C)tears will be (D)trembling, now (G)we're somewhere (Am)else,
One (C)last cup of (D)wine we will (Bm)pour,
I'll (Em)kiss you one more (Am)time,
And (D)leave you on the (G)rolling river (Am)sh(D)ores
Of (G)changes.

So (C)sit by my (D)side, come as (G)close as the (Am)air,
(C) Share in a (D)memory of (Bm)gray;
And (Em)wander in my (Am)words,
(D) Dream about the (G)pictures
That I (Am)pla(D)y
Of (G)changes.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
