Julie Covington - The Beautiful Changes
[Intro]
F Dm Bbm F
[Verse 1]
Am
The green-covered place that I went to in spring
Gm Em
With a notebook and what cigarettes I could bring
A7 Dm
The cloverleaf crossing now ties in a ring
Bbm F
And how the beautiful changes
[Verse 2]
Am
When the men with a dream who are never refused
Gm Em
Drum up the exciting to reap the unused
A7 Dm
The lovers are judged and condemned unaccused
Bbm F
And the beautiful dies with the harvest
[Verse 3]
Am
Now the loveliest creatures that god ever made
Gm Em
Have all picked a partner and joined the parade
A7 Dm
Where they'll crack up together from making the grade
Bbm F
And how the beautiful changes
[Verse 4]
Am
They pull into the kerb and they crowd out the bars
Gm Em
Watching an astronaut fall toward Mars
A7 Dm
He's talking in clichés that put out the stars
Bbm F
And the beautiful dies with the harvest
[Verse 5]
Am
Too late is the way a man finally learns
Gm Em
The light of salvation recedes and returns
A7 Dm
As you freeze with the cold or you croak from the burns
Bbm F
And how the beautiful changes
[Verse 6]
Am
In the pink of the sunset high over the park
Gm Em
The con-trails are tracing their spiral and arc
A7 Dm
As the angels turn eastwards to fight back the dark
Bbm F
And the beautiful dies with the harvest
[Verse 7]
Am
With gaps in the fabric, regrets never mend
Gm Em
I've seen the eternities crawl to their end
A7 Dm
The comedown of many a fine-feathered friend
Bbm F
And how the beautiful changes
[Verse 8]
Am
There's a fine line between love of living and greed
Gm Em
Say the men of affairs and deliberate speed
A7 Dm
As the ugly goes into the ground with the seed
Bbm F
And the beautiful dies with the harvest
[Verse 9]
Am
Now the fire of redemption is a guttering flame
Gm Em
A man is an image before he's a name
A7 Dm
And the deadly arrangement that fixes the game
G7 Bb
Is the way the inhuman is always the same
Dm Bbm F
And how the beautiful changes
Dm Bbm F
How the beautiful changes
Dm Bbm F
How____ the beautiful changes
Dm Bbm F Dm Bbm F
How____ the beautiful changes
