1.   Sit by my side, come as close as the air,

F                      G              Em

    share in a memory of gray,

             Am                 Dm        G                       C

    and wander in my words, dream about the pictures

              Am - F - G           C

    that I pai……….nt of changes.

 

   F                              G                  C            Dm 

2.    Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall,

F                             G              Em

    to brown and to yellow they fade.

              Am                     Dm  - G                                C 

    And then they have to die,         trapped within the circle-time

         Am - F - G         C

    para……….de of changes.

 

   F                         G                         C                Dm   

3.   Scenes of my young years are warm in my mind,

F                      G                 Em

    visions of shadows that shine

         Am               Dm             G                             C

    till one day I returned and found they were the victims of the

     Am - F - G           C

    vi………nes of changes

 

   F                                     G       - C                       Dm  

4.   The world's spinning madly,       it drifts in the dark,

F                                G           Em

    swings through a hollow of haze.

        Am                      Dm       G                            C

    A race around the stars, a journey through the universe

         Am - F - G              C

    abla………..ze with changes.

 

   F                                G           - C                                     Dm

5.   Your tears will be trembling,      now we're somewhere else,

F                            G                Em

    one last cup of wine we will pour.

                 Am                       Dm               G                      C

    And I'll kiss you one more time, and leave you on the rolling

                Am - F - G           C

    river sho……….res of changes.

          Am                       Dm            G                        C

    I'll kiss you one more time, and leave you on the rolling

                Am - F - G           C

    river sho……….res of changes.
