[B] [F#m]
Sit by my [B] side, come [E] as close as [F#m] the air,
[A]
Share in [B] a memory of [G#m]
grey,
[C#m] And wonder in [F#m] my words,
[B] And dream about [E] the pictures that [F#m] I [B] play [E] Of changes.
[A] Green leaves of [B] summer [E] turn red in [F#m] the fall,
[A] Do brown and [B] do yellow,
[G#m] They fade [C#m] and then they have [F#m] to die,
[Bm] Trapped within [E] the circle [F#m] time parade
[B] [E] Of changes.
[F#]

[B]
[F#m] Scenes of [B] my young years [E] were worn in [F#m] my mind,
[A] Visions [B] of shadows [E]
[G#m] that shine,
[C#] Till one day [F#m] I return,
[Bm] And found they [E] were the victims [F#m] of the [B]
vines [E] Of changes.
[F#m] The world's spinning [B]
madly,
[E] It drifts [F#m] in the dark,
[A] Swings through [B] a hollow [G#m] of age,
[C#] A race around [F#m] the stars,
[B] A journey through [E] the universe [F#m] [B]
ablaze [E] With changes.
[F#]
[B]
[A]
[B]
[F#m] Moments [B] of magic [E] will glow in [F#] the night,
[A] All fears of [B] the forest [G#m] are gone,
[C#] But then the morning [F#m] breaks,
[B] They're swept away [E] by golden [F#m] drops of [B] dawn
[E] Of changes.
[F#m] [B] Passions will part to [E] a strange [F#m] melody,
[A] As fires [B] will sometimes [G#m] burn cold,
[C#m] Like petals in [F#m] the wind,
[B] Were puppets to [E] the silver springs [F#m] of
[B] souls [E] Of [C#m] changes.

[D#m] [F#]

[B]
[F#m] Your tears will [B] be dropping,
[E] Now we're [F#m] somewhere else,
[A] One last cup [B] of wine we [G#m] will pour,
[C#m] I'll kiss you one [F#m] more time,
[B] And leave you [E] on the rolling [F#] river [B] shore
[E] Of changes.
