Forever Changes Album Tab - Love
*This is not my original work, just a compilation of Andrew Rogers'
already-published tabs for every song on this wonderful album.
I just felt that there should be an album tab for reading simplicity.

Verse 2:
You are just a thought that someone
Somewhere somehow feels you should be here

Verse 3:
By the time that I'm through singing
The bells from the schools of walls will be ringing
More confusions, blood transfusions
The news today will be the movies for tomorrow
And the water's turned to blood, and if
You don't think so
Go turn on your tub
And it it's mixed with mud
You'll see it turn to gray
And you can call my name
I hear you call my name

Verse 1:
B7addE [as per intro]
Where are you walking, I've seen you walking
Have you been there before? [cello: A -> F#]
Walk down your doorsteps, you'll take some more steps
What did you take them for?
A G6 [A: x77650 G6: x55430]
There's a private in my boat and he wears
PDins instead of mCedals on his cEoat
There's a chAicken in my nG6est and she won't
LDay until I've gCiven her my bEest
At her reqB7uest she asks for nothing
You get nEothing in return
If you wB7ant she brings you water
If you dEon't then you will bBurn
[repeat intro riff, 4X w/bass each time]
Verse 2:
You go through changes, it may seem strange
Is this what you're put here for?
You think you're happy and you are happy
That's what you're happy for
There's a man who can't decide if he should
Fight for what his father thinks is right
There are people wearing frowns who'll screw you up
But they would rather screw you down
At my request I ask for nothing
You get nothing in return
If you're nice she'll bring me water
If you're not then I will burn

[1: There are Fmaj7places that I am AmgoiGng
4: There'll be time for you to start all over]
Verse 2:
This is the only thing that I am sure of
And that's all that lives is gonna die
And there'll always be some people here to wonder why
And for every happy hello, there will be good-bye
There'll be time for you to put yourself on
[repeat horn break]
Verse 3:
Everything I've seen needs rearranging
And for anyone who thinks it's strange
Then you should be the first to want to make this change
And for everyone who thinks that life is just a game
Do you like the part you're playing
