Changing Of The Times (Bob Dylan)

		Intro: Ab  
 
Fm  
Sixteen years,  
Ab Eb Fm  
Sixteen banners united over the fields  
Db Eb  
While the good shepherd grieves  
Fm Ab Eb  
Desperate men, desperate women divided,  
Fm Db Eb Ab  
Spreading their wings 'neath the falling leaves.  
 
Fm  
Fortune calls.  
Ab Eb Fm  
I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace,  
Db Eb Fm  
Merchants and thieves, hungry for power, my last deal gone down.  
Ab Eb Fm  
She's smelling sweet like the meadows where she was born,  
Db Eb Ab  
On midsummer's eve, near the tower.  
 
 
(Interlude)  
 
Fm  
The cold-blooded moon.  
Ab Eb  
The captain waits above the celebration  
Fm Db Eb  
Sending his thoughts to a beloved maid  
Fm Ab Eb  
Whose ebony face is beyond communication.  
Fm Db Eb Ab  
The captain is down but still believing that his love will be repaid.  
 
Fm  
They shaved her head.  
Ab Eb  
She was torn between Jupiter and Apollo.  
Fm Db Eb  
A messenger arrived with a black nightingale.  
Fm Ab Eb  
I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow,  
Fm Db Eb Ab  
Follow her down past the fountain where they lifted her veil.  
 
 
(Interlude)  
 
Fm  
I stumbled to my feet.  
Ab Eb  
I rode past destruction in the ditches  
Fm Db Eb  
With the stitches still mending 'neath a heart-shaped tattoo.  
Fm Ab Eb  
Renegade priests and treacherous young witches  
Fm Db Eb Ab  
Were handing out the flowers that I'd given to you.  
 
Fm  
The palace of mirrors  
Ab Eb  
Where dog soldiers are reflected,  
Fm Db Eb  
The endless road and the wailing of chimes,  
Fm Ab Eb  
The empty rooms where her memory is protected,  
Fm Db Eb Ab  
Where the angels' voices whisper to the souls of previous times.  
 
 
(Interlude)  
 
Fm  
She wakes him up  
Ab Eb  
Forty-eight hours later, the sun is breaking  
Fm Db Eb  
Near broken chains, mountain laurel and rolling rocks.  
Fm Ab Eb  
She's begging to know what measures he now will be taking  
Fm Db Eb Ab  
He's pulling her down and she's clutching on to his long golden locks.  
 
Fm  
Gentlemen, he said,  
Ab Eb Fm  
I don't need your organization, I've shined your shoes,  
Db Eb  
I've moved your mountains and marked your cards  
Fm Ab Eb  
But Eden is burning, either get brave for elimination  
Fm Db Eb Ab  
Or else your hearts must have the courage for the changing of the guards.  
 
 
(Interlude)  
 
Fm  
Peace will come  
Ab Eb Fm  
With tranquility and splendor on the wheels of fire  
Db Eb Fm  
But will offer no reward when her false idols fall  
Ab Eb Fm  
And cruel death surrenders with its pale ghost retreating  
Db Eb Ab  
Between the King and the Queen of Swords.  
 
 
Fm Ab Eb  
Fm...  
 
 
The "Interlude" (that the sax plays) is:

One word of note: It is much easier to play this song with a capo on the  
first fret (i.e. play Em G D Em C D... while the 1st fret is fretted). This  
makes it more easier and does not make the guitar sound too choppy.
