Verse:

C                                  Dm7     G7
They say don't change the old love for the  new
C                       Dm7       G7
You'll find out it will nev - er  do.
E7
When you grow old,
    Am    E7   Am
you don't last long;
D7
You're here today,
  Dm7           G7
tomorrow you're gone.

C                      Dm7        G7
I loved a man for many years gone  by
C7                           Dm7
I never thought his love for me would die.
    E7
But he made some chang - es from
Am  E7  Am
old  to  new
    D7
And now I'm gonna make some
Dm7         G7
chang - es, too.

Chorus:

                A7
There'll  be  a change in  the weath - er;
A change in the sea,
D7
From now on there's gonna be a change in  me
   E7
My walk will be   diff - rent, my
Am       E7 Am
talk and my name
D7
Ain't noth - in' a - bout me
           Dm7    G7
gon - na   be the same.

             A7
I'm gon - na change my way of liv - in',
And if that ain't e - nough,
               D7
I'm even gonna change the way I strut my stuff.
      E7
Cause No -  bod - y  wants you
            Am  E7  Am
when you're old and gray
D7               G7
There'll be some chan - ges
C    E7   A7
made to - day,
D7         G7               C
There'll be some chan - ges made.

            A7
I'm gon-na  change my long tall one
For a little short fat
               D7
I'm even gonna change the number where I’m living at
      E7
Cause no -  bod - y  wants you when you're
Am  E7  Am
old and gray
D7            G7
There's gonna be some chan - ges
C    E7   A7
made to - day,
D7               G7              C
There's gonna be some chan - ges made.

           A7
I'm gon-na change the new fashions
Change the new shoes
                D7
I'm even gon-na change the bootlegger
Who brings me my booze
           E7
I'm gon-na change everything
     Am  E7  Am
from old  to new
        D7
And I'm gon-na learn to look
            Dm7         G7
the same as other girls do

         A7
Why I'm a  red hot mama
I've got lots of speed
         D7
I've got everything that a good man needs
    E7
But no -  bod - y  wants me
         Am  E7  Am
when I'm old and gray
D7            G7
There's gonna be some chan - ges
C    E7   A7
made to - day,
D7          G7             C    C6
There'll be some chan -ges made.
