[Intro]
Am7 Dm G G

[Verse 1]
Am7              D 
  There is a town, 
            G
  somewhere down a country road
Am7           D        
  I see it now, I take 
          G
  it everywhere I go
Am7              D       G
  The river sways, I can almost 
  hear it now
Am7           Fm            
  As if to say, "You're not 
         G
  the only one who wants a way out"

[Pre-Chorus]
F      Am7
So, I go
       G                       
'Cause I don't wanna feel like 
                    F
I don't know you anymore
    Am7          G
I memorize those roads

[Chorus]
C
  Somewhere out in the 
  big wild country
G
  Someone's fallin' in 
  love in a backseat
F
Givin' it away
           Am           
Like their hearts won't 
           G
ever break-ak
C
  God bless the young hearts 
  sippin' cheap wine
G
  Gettin' drunk with their 
  friends for the first time
F
Thinkin' nothing's gonna change
     Am               G    Am  Dm G
Till everything cha-a_an- ges

Am                F         
  They never leave, they're 
             G
  all havin' babies now
         Am          F          
Watchin' daytime TV, livin' off 
                G
the gossip of a cruel small town

[Pre-Chorus]
F      Am7
So, I go
       G                       
'Cause I don't wanna feel like 
                     F
you don't know me anymore
           Am      G
Don't recognize my face

[Chorus]
C
  Somewhere out in the big 
  wild country
G
  Someone's fallin' in love 
  in a backseat
F
Givin' it away
           Am           
Like their hearts won't 
           G
ever break-ak
C
  God bless the young hearts 
  sippin' cheap wine
G
  Gettin' drunk with their 
  friends for the first time
F
Thinkin' nothing's gonna change
     Am               G
Till everything cha-a_an- ges

[Bridge]
F
  There ain't nothing here 
  for me anymore
Am                    G
  They say they don't hear 
  from me anymore
F                        
  And I don't wanna hear 
          G
  it anymore

How to play Changes: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Changes by Cam on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Changes by Cam is written in C major (no sharps or flats) and moves through 8 chords: Am7, Dm, G, D, Fm, F, C and Am.

Most of the song cycles through G – F – Am – G (V – IV – vi – V in C major). In solfa, that is soh – fah – lah – soh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Fm and F are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
