 E7     Bm5-/7     E7  Fdim E7  Fdim E7 
There'll  be  a change in  the weather 
Bm5-/7   E7/9 Cdim    A7/13 
And a change in the sea 
D7M  F#m Bm7        Bm7/E   D   Cdim D6 
From now on there'll be a change in  me 
  Em7/9      Em7 A7/9   A7   Em7 D7M F#m    Bm7 
My walk will be   diff'rent, my talk and my name  
E7/9  Cdim     A7/13 A7 Em7/9  Em7 A7 G/B  A7 
Nothin'    about    me   gonna  be  the  same 
E7  Bm5-/7     E7      Fdim E7 Fdim  E7 
I'm gonna    change my way of    livin' 
Bm5-/7  E7/9 Cdim   A7/13 
And if that ain't enough 
D7M  F#m   Bm7     Bm7/E    D   Cdim D6 
I'm gonna change the way I strut my stuff 
Em7/9 A7/9   A7 Em7/9 A7  Em7   A7    D   F#7  B7     
 Nobody   wants  you  when  you're  old  and  gray 
G        E7       A7    Em7  D   F#7   B7 
There'll be some changes made today 
G        E7       A7    Em7  D 
There'll be some changes made
