All Things Must Change -- Runrig
Key of Bb, most easily played G capo 3.
[Intro]
[Verse]
The road was long, our steps were new
The storms of innocence, strong and fresh they blew
Directions turned, Love changing hands
We stood like gods before, all our maps and plans
But all, all things must change
So don t look back, just walk away
[Verse]
That morning dawn, with no regrets
We stood in line, we laughed in silhouette,
On the learning ground, the place we loved best
That was our final time, out in the west
But all,all things must change
So don t look back, just walk away,walk away
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Now the cars come like rivers, night comes like madness
Songs come like trains
Headlights flash in the darkness, memories twist in the rain
And we feel those flickering moments, like silk they re the flags of our days
And the past is only the part of life we ve thrown away.
[Verse]
The river s dark, in constant flow,
Swollen by winter streams, and the melting snow
I see your face, across the miles
To where some kindness showed our fate intertwined.
But all, all things must change
So don t look back, just walk away
But all, all things must change,
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!
