Bob Dylan - You Changed My Life

[Intro]
D

[Verse 1]
D F#m/C#
I was listening to the voices of death on parade
D/C G
Singin’ about conspiracy, wanting me to be afraid
Bb6 D
Working for a system I couldn’t understand or trust
A7sus4 A7
Suffering ridicule and wanting to give it all up in disgust

[Chorus]
D G | D | % |
But you, you changed my life
D G | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
G D
In hunger and need you made my heart bleed
D A | D | % |
You changed my life

[Verse 2]
D F#m/C#
Talk about salvation, people suddenly get tired
D/C G
They got a million things to do, they’re all so inspired
Bb6 D
You do the work of the devil, you got a million friends
A7sus4 A7
They’ll be there when you got something, they’ll take it all in the end

[Chorus]
D G | D | % |
But you changed my life
D G | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
G D
I was under the gun, clouds blocking the sun
D A | D | % |
You changed my life

[Verse 3]
D F#m/C#
Well, the nature of man is to beg and to steal
D/C G
I do it myself, it’s not so unreal
Bb6 D
The call of the wild is forever at my door
A7sus4 A7
Wants me to fly like an eagle while being chained to the floor

[Chorus]
D G | D | % |
But you, you changed my life
D G | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
G D
From silver and gold to what man cannot hold
D A | D | % |
You changed my life

[Solo]
| D | F#m/C# | D/C | G |
| Bb6 | D | A7sus4 | A7 |

[Verse 4]
D F#m/C#
I was eating with the pigs off a fancy tray
D/C G
I was told I was looking good and to have a nice day
Bb6 D
It all seemed so proper, it all seemed so elite
A7sus4 A7
Eating that absolute garbage while being so discreet

[Chorus]
D G | D | % |
When you changed my life
D G | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
G D
From silver and gold to what man cannot hold
D A | D | % |
You changed my life

[Solo]
| D | F#m/C# | D/C | G |
| Bb6 | D | A7sus4 | A7 |

[Verse 5]
D F#m/C#
You were glowing in the sun while being peaceably calm
D/C G
While orphans of man danced to the beat of the palm
Bb6 D
Your eyes were on fire, your feet were of brass
A7sus4 A7
In the world you had made they made you an outcast

[Chorus]
D G | D | % |
But you, you changed my life
D G | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
G D
From silver and gold to what man cannot hold
D A | D | % |
You changed my life

[Verse 6]
D F#m/C#
There was someone in my body that I could hardly see
D/C G
Invading my privacy, making my decisions for me
Bb6 D
Holding me back, not letting me stand
A7sus4 A7
Making me feel like a stranger in a strange land

[Chorus]
D G | D | % |
But you changed my life
D G | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
G D
You come down the line, give me a new mind
D A | D | % |
You changed my life

[Verse 7]
D F#m/C#
My Lord and my Savior, my companion, my friend
D/C G
Heart fixer, mind regulator, true to the end
Bb6 D
My creator, my comforter, my cause for joy
A7sus4 A
What the world is set against but will never destroy

[Chorus]
D G | D | % |
And you, you changed my life
D G | A | % |
Came along in a time of strife
G D
You came in like the wind, like Errol Flynn
D A | D | % |
You changed my life

[Solo]
| D | F#m/C# | D/C | G |
| Bb6 | D | A7sus4 | A7 |
