All Things Must Change -- Runrig
Key of Bb, most easily played G capo 3.
[Intro]
G6 G6 G6 G6
[Verse]
G D
The road was long, our steps were new
C G
The storms of innocence, strong and fresh they blew
G D
Directions turned, Love changing hands
C G
We stood like gods before, all our maps and plans
D G C
But all, all things must change
D C G
So don't look back, just walk away
[Verse]
G D
That morning dawn, with no regrets
C G
We stood in line, we laughed in silhouette,
G D
On the learning ground, the place we loved best
C G
That was our final time, out in the west
D G C
But all,all things must change
D C G
So don't look back, just walk away,walk away
[Instrumental]
D D G C D D7 G
[Bridge]
C C
Now the cars come like rivers, night comes like madness
G
Songs come like trains
C Em G D
Headlights flash in the darkness, memories twist in the rain
C C Em
And we feel those flickering moments, like silk they're the flags of our days
G C Am G
And the past is only the part of life we've thrown away.
[Verse]
G D
The river's dark, in constant flow,
C G
Swollen by winter streams, and the melting snow
G D
I see your face, across the miles
C G
To where some kindness showed our fate intertwined.
D G C
But all, all things must change
D C G
So don't look back, just walk away
D G C
But all, all things must change,
D C G
So don't look back, just walk away
I'm a singer-songwriter, and I perform this song fairly regularly. When I play it, it's
usually in a simple arrangement with acoustic guitar or guitar+ keyboard. I use a simple
flatpicking pattern on the first and last verses, play normal rhythm guitar on the 2nd
verse and bridge.
I'm not quite sure about the bridge, but that should work. Runrig is an amazing band
with some incredible songs, and I'd encourage you to listen to all of their music! Cheers!
