          C                         Am
Things is changin', they're not the same anymore.
          C                         Am
Things is changin', they're not the way they was before.
                  C               Am
When a wind would blow, there was bound to be a storm.
         C                                  Am
Now it's blowing in all directions and only one thing's for sure:
          C        Am
Things is changin'.

         C         Am
Pray for rain, sit on the porch and watch it fall
       C                           Am
But it doesn't really matter to anybody anymore.
                          C               Am
You buy your bread at the bakery and your beer at the liquor store
        C                                      Am
And the preacher screams from the T.V. screen "Believe in the Lord."
          C        Am
Things is changin'.	(x2)

            C             Am
Can't get a job, couldn't buy a job to save your life,
       C                                 Am
So you go down to some kitchen just like 1935.
                       C              Am
You've got a couple of children and a tear-stained wife
              C                               Am
And you ain't trying to get ahead you're just trying to get by.
          C        Am

               C           Am
I was drinking wine with a gal that I knew.
                   C     Am
It was a one-horse town, nothing much to do.
           C                        Am
Across the street a Greyhound coach pulled into the station.
             C                                        Am
Next thing I know I'm looking down the road and she's waving.
          C        Am
Things is changin'.	(x3)
