The Beautiful Changes

F Dm Bbm  F

[Verse 1]
                               Am
The green-covered place that I went 
to in spring
       Gm                    Em
With a notebook and what cigarettes 
I could bring
    A7                      Dm
The cloverleaf crossing now ties in 
a ring
            Bbm       F
And how the beautiful changes


[Verse 2]
When the men with a dream who are 
Am
never refused
     Gm                 Em
Drum up the exciting to reap the 
unused
    A7                       Dm
The lovers are judged and condemned 
unaccused
        Bbm                    
And the beautiful dies with the 
 F
harvest


[Verse 3]
                                 Am
Now the loveliest creatures that god
 ever made
     Gm                       Em
Have all picked a partner and joined
 the parade
              A7                   
Where they'll crack up together 
  Dm
from making the grade
            Bbm       F
And how the beautiful changes


[Verse 4]

They pull into the kerb and they 
Am
crowd out the bars
Gm                    Em
Watching an astronaut fall toward 
Mars
     A7                      Dm
He's talking in clichés that put out
 the stars
        Bbm                    
And the beautiful dies with the 
 F
harvest


[Verse 5]
                          Am
Too late is the way a man finally 
learns
    Gm                   Em
The light of salvation recedes and 
returns
       A7                          
As you freeze with the cold or you 
Dm
croak from the burns
            Bbm       F
And how the beautiful changes


[Verse 6]
                               Am
In the pink of the sunset high over 
the park
    Gm                           
The con-trails are tracing their 
Em
spiral and arc
       A7                      
As the angels turn eastwards to 
 Dm
fight back the dark
        Bbm                    
And the beautiful dies with the 
 F
harvest


[Verse 7]
                           Am
With gaps in the fabric, regrets 
never mend
     Gm                  Em
I've seen the eternities crawl to 
their end
    A7                
The comedown of many a 
 Dm
fine-feathered friend
            Bbm       F
And how the beautiful changes


[Verse 8]
There's a fine line between love of 
Am
living and greed
        Gm                
Say the men of affairs and 
   Em
deliberate speed
       A7                 Dm
As the ugly goes into the ground 
with the seed
        Bbm                    
And the beautiful dies with the 
 F
harvest



[Verse 9]
Now the fire of redemption is a 
Am
guttering flame
  Gm                Em
A man is an image before he's a name
        A7                     
And the deadly arrangement that 
 Dm
fixes the game
       G7                 Bb
Is the way the inhuman is always the
 same
    Dm      Bbm       F
And how the beautiful changes
Dm      Bbm       F
How the beautiful changes
Dm  Bbm               F
