Things I Cannot Change

The Mavericks

intro*: (x4) verse 1: Leaves fall in the cool October air Days grow short and I can't remember where I saw you last turned against the summer light C Walking off on that final August night I was there on my knees, all alone In a world where nothing ever stays the same I am left with only things I cannot change * You've gone away and left me things I cannot change verse 2: Smoke will rise and the fire always burns Sands will drift and tides will turn and I can't wrestle with the sea rearrange the sky or fight against the wind any more than I can bring you back to me In a world where nothing ever stays the same I am left with only things I cannot change You've gone away and left me things I cannot change So far away and left me things I cannot change solo and outro*: left me things I cannot cha-- --------ge left me things I cannot cha-- --------ge (x3) *intro riff: repeat e|--------|--------|--------|----------| B|--------|--------|--------|----------| G|--------|-0------|--------|----------| D|--------|2-2---0-|0020----|----------| A|----0-03|-------3|--------|-------320| E|-----3--|--------|--------|00-10-----| *Dm fill: e|--------| B|--------| G|--------| D|---20---| A|023-----| E|--------| **C fill: e|--------| B|--------| G|--------| D|02------| A|--320---| E|--------| *solo and outro riff: C e|------8--8---10-|5---------------|-----10-10-10-10|-----1~~~~~~----| B|------8--8---10-|5---------------|-----10-10-10-10|----1-----------| G|------9--9---10-|5---------------|-----10-10-10-10|---1------------| D|------10-10--12-|7---------------|-----12-12-12-12|--3-------------| A|------10-10--12-|7---------------|-----12-12-12-12|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| e|----8--8--10-8--|5---------------|-----10-10-10-10|-----1~~~~~~----| B|----8--8--10-8--|5---------------|-----10-10-10-10|----1-----------| G|----9--9--10-9--|5---------------|-----10-10-10-10|---1------------| D|----10-10-12-10-|7---------------|-----12-12-12-12|--3-------------| A|----10-10-12-10-|7---------------|-----12-12-12-12|----------------| E|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| repeat e|--------|--------|--------|--------| B|--------|--------|--------|--------| G|--------|-0------|--------|--------| D|--------|2-2---0-|0-------|--------| A|----0-03|-------3|--00----|3-------| E|-----3--|--------|--------|--11----|
