Song: Changes (David Bowie)
Album: Hunky Dory
[Intro]
4/4
Cmaj7     Db6     Dm7     Eb7
                              Oh yeah
F7     D     F7     D     F7
[Verse 1]
C                            Em7
  Still don't know what I was waiting for
       F                  G
And my time was running wild
          F
A million dead-end streets and
C                         Em7
  Every time I thought I'd got it made
              F                    G
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
     Cmaj7    Dm7        Em7   Ebm7
So I turned myself to face me
    Dm7                         G
But I've never caught a glimpse
           Cmaj7       Dm7       Em7   Ebm7
Of how the others must see the faker
              Dm7
I'm much too fast to take that test
[Chorus]
G          F
  Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C        C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A        C/G
  Ch-ch-Changes
                      2/4   4/4
F       F/E            D    
  Don't want to be a richer man
G          F
  Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C        C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A        C/G
  Ch-ch-Changes
F      F/E          2/4 D
  Just gonna have to be a different man
3/4 F/A  C/G  Bb    F
      Time may change me
   C/E G/D  F/A   C    4/4
But I can't trace time
D     F7     D     F7
[Verse 2]
C                      Em7
  I watch the ripples change their size
     F                G              F
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence and
C                     Em7
  So the days float through my eyes
       F                      G
But still the days seem the same
          Cmaj7  Dm7      Em7
And these children that you spit on
Ebm7   Dm7                   G
As they try to change their worlds
      Cmaj7      Dm7       Em7  Ebm7
Are immune to your consultations
               Dm7
They're quite aware of what they're going through
[Chorus]
G          F
  Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C        C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A        C/G
  Ch-ch-Changes
                           2/4   4/4
F                    F/E    D    
  Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
G          F
  Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C        C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A        C/G
  Ch-ch-Changes
F                          F/E         2/4 D
Where's your shame? You've left us up to our necks in it
3/4 F/A  C/G  Bb    F
      Time may change me
    C/E G/D   F/A   C    Dm  Em
But you can't trace time
                    4/4
[Bridge]
F                        C           F/C  C
Strange fascination, fascinating me
F                      G
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through
[Chorus]
G          F
  Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C        C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A        C/G
  Ch-ch-Changes
                         2/4   4/4
F             F/E         D    
 Ooh, look out you rock 'n' rollers
G          F
  Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
C        C/B
Turn and face the strange
C/A        C/G
  Ch-ch-Changes
F             F/E            2/4 D
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
3/4 F/A  C/G  Bb    F
      Time may change me
   C/E G/D  F/A   C
But I can't trace time
            F/A  C/G Bb     F
I said that time may change me
   C/E G/D  F/A   C    4/4
But I can't trace time
Ending
Dm7     Em7     Eb7     Dm7     Dbmaj7      Cmaj7
