              C                    F 
Long hair was not in style 
 
    G7                 Am                 F 
The first time I heard Haggard on the radio 
 
F                    G7             C 
But I could feel the changes comin' on 
 
C                       F 
The Beatles crossed the ocean 
 
G7             Am              F 
An overnight explosion on the tv 
 
F                 G7        C 
My brother had to go to Vietnam 
 
 
 
C                 F 
Ford unveiled the Mustang 
 
G7                    Am                        F 
Things looked good in Detroit for the people there 
 
F                    G7             C 
And I could feel the changes comin' on 
 
C                   F 
From Atlanta Doctor King 
 
     G7                 Am                      F 
Told the world he had a dream people followed him 
 
F                 G7               C 
And daddy said my hair was gettin' long 
 
 
 
F                           Em 
I could feel changes comin' on 
 
F                                G7 
People started singin' different songs 
 
F                                  C  Am 
Searchin' for the place where they belong 
 
Dm           G7             Am 
I could feel changes comin' on 
 
 
  
C                        F 
Well I'm still hooked on Haggard 
 
        G7                 Am                         F 
But the Beatles can't come back like we hoped they would 
 
F                G7              C 
In Memphis Tennessee the King is gone 
 
C                   F 
As I put my kids to bed 
 
G7                 Am                  F 
I wonder what lies ahead for them to see 
 
F                    G7             C 
Cause I can feel the changes comin' on 
 
 
  
F                         Em 
I can feel changes comin' on 
 
F                                  G7 
People still are singing different songs 
 
G7      F                                  C  Am 
They're searchin' for the place where they belong 
 
Dm         G7             Am 
I can feel changes comin' on
