Intro:
[G] [C] [G] [C]
Verse 1
[G]They wouldnt let him play the Opry
With whi[C]skey on his breath
And it didn[G]t take them long
To figure out wh[C]at theyd missed
He went down th[D]at lost highway
Underneath [C]that purple sky
A le[Am]gend disappear[D]ed before his time[G]
Things change[C]
[G] [C]
Verse 2
They said[G] he was the devil
[C]Dressed in gold lame
The way[G] he shook his hips
[C]Up there on that stage
But bef[G]ore that fateful day
When he lef[C]t Tennessee
[Am]All of them were calling [D]him "The King"[G]
Things change[C]
[G] [C]
Verse 3 (Chords like Verse 2)
Well they like to call them hippies
Outlaws with guitars
But they brought a little poetry to the honky-tonks and bars
They might have got a little too crazy
They might have flown a little too high
But somewhere somebodys playing their songs tonight
Things change[C], dont you know they change[G]
Solo
[F] [Am] [Bb] [D]
Verse 4 (Chords like verse 1)
Some say its too country
Some say its too rock and roll
But its just good music if you could feel it in your soul
And it doesnt really matter
It always looks the same
Life goes on but things change
[G]Things chan[C]ge
[G]Things chan[C]ge
Dont you know they change, yeah ye[G]ah yeah[C][G][C]
[C]Things, they keep me from changing[G][G][C][G][C]
Gonna keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on changing[G][C]
C G fade out
Cause things change
