Song: Changes (David Bowie)
Album: Hunky Dory


[Intro]
[4/4]

Cmaj7     Db6     Dm7     Eb7     F7     D     F7     D     F7
                             Oh yeah


[Verse]

C                         Em7
  Still don't know what I was waiting for
       F
And my time was running wild
G           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   Emb7
So I turned myself to face me
    Dm7                       G
But I've never caught a glimpse
           Cmaj7       Dm7       Em7   Emb7
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
F       F/E                [2/4] D    [4/4]
  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               
  It's 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


[Verse]

C                         Em7
I watch the ripples change their size
       F
But never leave the stream of warm impermanence
C                         Em7
And so the days float through my eyes
              F                   G
But still the days seem the same
     Cmaj7    Dm7        Em7   Emb7
And these children that you spit on
    Dm7                       G
As they try to change their worlds
           Cmaj7       Dm7       Em7   Emb7
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
F       F/E                [2/4] D    [4/4]
  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               
  It's 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    Dm  Em
But you can't trace time


[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
F       F/E                [2/4] D    [4/4]
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    Dm  Em
But I can't trace time


[Ending]

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

Dm7     Em7     Eb7     Dm7     Dbmaj7      Cmaj7

This isn't the simplest, but it's the most accurate. Thanks so much for this.

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.
