Verse 1
G
They wouldnt let him play the Opry
C
With whiskey on his breath
G
And it didnt take them long
C
To figure out what theyd missed
D
He went down that lost highway
C
Underneath that purple sky
AmDG
A legend disappeared before his time
C
Things change
GC
Verse 2
G
They said he was the devil
C
Dressed in gold lame
G
The way he shook his hips
C
Up there on that stage
G
But before that fateful day
C
When he left Tennessee
AmDG
All of them were calling him "The King"
C
Things change
GC
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
CG
Things change, dont you know they change
Solo
FABD
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
GC
Things change
GC
Things change
GC
Dont you know they change, yeah yeah yeah
CC
Things, they keep me from changing
C
Gonna keep on, keep on, keep on, keep on changing
C G fade out
Cause things change
