Song: Changes (David Bowie)
Album: Hunky Dory


[Intro]
[4/4]

Amaj7     A#6     Bm7     C7      D7     B     D7     B     D7
                             Oh yeah


[Verse]

A                         C#m7
  Still don't know what I was waiting for
       D
And my time was running wild
E           D
  A million dead-end streets and
A                         C#m7
  Every time I thought I'd got it made
              D                   E
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
     Amaj7    Bm7        C#m7   Emb7
So I turned myself to face me
    Bm7                       E
But I've never caught a glimpse
           Amaj7       Bm7       C#m7   Emb7
Of how the others must see the faker
              Bm7
I'm much too fast to take that test


[Chorus]

E          D
  Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
A        A/G#
Turn and face the strange
A/F#       A/E
  Ch-ch-Changes
F       F/E                [2/4] D    [4/4]
  Don't want to be a richer      man
E          D
  Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
A        A/G#
Turn and face the strange
A/F#       A/E
  Ch-ch-Changes
D      D/C#               [2/4] B               
  It's gonna have to be a      different man
[3/4]  D/F# A/E   G     D
       Time may change me
   A/C# E/B   D/F#  A      [4/4]
But I can't trace time


[Verse]

A                         C#m7
I watch the ripples change their size
       D
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence
A                         C#m7
And so the days float through my eyes
              D                   E
But still the days seem the same
     Amaj7    Bm7        C#m7   Emb7
And these children that you spit on
    Bm7                       E
As they try to change their worlds
           Amaj7       Bm7       C#m7   Emb7
Are immune to your consultations
              Bm7
They're quite aware of what they're going through


[Chorus]

E          D
  Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
A        A/G#
Turn and face the strange
A/F#       A/E
  Ch-ch-Changes
F       F/E                [2/4] D    [4/4]
  Don't want to be a richer      man
E          D
  Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
A        A/G#
Turn and face the strange
A/F#       A/E
  Ch-ch-Changes
D      D/C#               [2/4] B               
  It's gonna have to be a      different man
[3/4]  D/F# A/E   G     D
       Time may change me
    A/C# E/B   D/F#  A    Bm  C#m
But you can't trace time


[Bridge]

D                        A            D/A   A
Strange fascination, fascinating me
D                      E
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through


[Chorus]

E          D
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
A        A/G#
Turn and face the strange
A/F#       A/E
Ch-ch-Changes
F       F/E                [2/4] D    [4/4]
Look out you rock'n'rollers
E          D
Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
A        A/G#
Turn and face the strange
A/F#       A/E
Ch-ch-Changes
D      D/C#               [2/4] B               
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
[3/4]  D/F# A/E   G     D
Time may change me
    A/C# E/B   D/F#  A    Bm  C#m
But I can't trace time


[Ending]

            D/F# A/E  G      D
I said that time may change me
   A/C# E/B   D/F# A
But I can't trace time

Bm7     C#m7    C7      Bm7     A#maj7      Amaj7

Instead of F/A, C/G, Bb, F, C/E G/D, F/A, C, Play Fmaj7,C Bb F, C, G/D Fmaj7, C. It doesn't sound much different, and it's way easier to play.
