THE CHANGING OF THE WAYS 121311 - unWANTED

James Michael Taylor

One night after our gigs, Chris Zeller at the Hilton Hotel and me at Shananagans in Midland we met in his hotel room and decided we would both write a song called THE CHANGING OF THE WAYS. I wonder what ever happened to him.

THE CHANGING OF THE WAYS Capo @ 2 in C

C
The earth, it turns. We know that now
G
It helps to make the days
C F
Which brings me to the point, you see
G C
The changing of the ways
B F
The changing of the attitude
G C
The change in the point of view
C F
The changing of my heart’s intent
G C
For never changing you

The spruce tree grows to the harvest time
It strengthens as it sways
Which brings me to this lonely room
And the changing of the ways
The changing of the multitude
The changing of the few
The changing of my heart’s intent
For never changing you

The cars, they change from year to year
It used to be a craze
Which brings me to the crossroads, Dear
And the changing of the ways
The changing from the obsolete
The changing to the new
We change the places that we meet
But we’re never changing you

Well, the changing of the Cadillacs,
The Fords and the Chevrolets
The changing of the industry
Oh, the changing of the ways
The changing of the gasoline
I read it in the news
The changing of the whole machine
But, we’re never changing you.

The earth, it turns. We know that now
It helps to make the days
Which brings me to the point, you see
The changing of the ways…

“…never-changing you.”
