Forever Changes Album Tab - Love
*This is not my original work, just a compilation of Andrew Rogers'
already-published tabs for every song on this wonderful album.
I just felt that there should be an album tab for reading simplicity.

Verse 3:
By the time that I'm through singing
The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing
More confusions, blood transfusions
The news today will be the movies for tomorrow
And the water's turned to blood, and if
You don't think so
Go turn on your tub
And it it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to gray
And you can call my name
I hear you call my name

Verse 1:
B7addE [as per intro]
Where are you walking, I've seen you walking
Have you been there before? [cello: A -> F#]
Walk down your doorsteps, you'll take some more steps
What did you take them for?
A G6 [A: x77650 G6: x55430]
There's a private in my boat and he wears
D C E
Pins instead of medals on his coat
A G6
There's a chicken in my nest and she won't

You go through changes, it may seem strange
Is this what you're put here for?

Fight for what his father thinks is right
There are people wearing frowns who'll screw you up

At my request I ask for nothing
You get nothing in return

If you're not then I will burn

And the things that I must do consist of more than style
Fmaj7 Am G
[1: There are places that I am going
4: There'll be time for you to start all over]
Verse 2:
This is the only thing that I am sure of
And that's all that lives is gonna die
And there'll always be some people here to wonder why
And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
There'll be time for you to put yourself on
[repeat horn break]
Verse 3:
Everything I've seen needs rearranging
And for anyone who thinks it's strange
Then you should be the first to want to make this change
And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
Do you like the part you're playing
