Chords

[INTRO:] C Bb F C [VERSE 1:] There's an ocean in my mind
    E                 Am
I'd give the world if I could find 

  Bb               F                Dm    Bb  F  C
A sailing ship and leave the past behind
Now that I must say adieu
     E               Am
It's killing me, I'm telling you 

     Bb                 F            Dm   Bb  F  C
When freedom calls what can a person do
[CHORUS:] I have felt the winds of change
   Bb                  F/C
Go stealing through my heart and soul

    C              Bb
How wild it seems

   F/C               G
In love songs and in nursery rhymes 

   F/C               Bb
On movie screens, in fairy tales 

    C              Bb
Lie broken dreams 

       C              Bb
Life's broken dreams

       C              Bb  F
Love's broken dreams
[VERSE 2:] Sometimes a broken dream
     E               Am
Will make you sad or make you mean 

    Bb                    F                 Dm    Bb  F  C
Sometimes things ain't as bad as they might seem
You might walk a lonely street
  E               Am
Until one day you chance to meet 

  Bb                 F                  Dm   Bb  F  C
A stranger who might ask where have you been
[CHORUS:] You will see the light of change
     Bb                   F/C
Come shining through your windowpane 

     C              Bb
When hope is gone 

       F/C              G
Though money, fame, and riches are 

    F/C                Bb            C
For fools and kings or anything that turns them on 

                     Bb
Life's broken deals

       C              Bb  F
Life's spinning wheels
[INSTRUMENTAL:] [VERSE 3:]
C
There's an ocean I have found 

    E                Am
I'd like to sail the world around 

    Bb              F                Dm    Bb  F  C
And dream about the life I hope I'll find
Now that I must say adieu
   E                   Am
To love's returns, I'm telling you 

     Bb                 F            Dm   Bb  F  C
When freedom comes what can a person do
[CHORUS:] I have felt the winds of change
   Bb                  F/C
Go stealing through my heart and soul 

    C              Bb
How wild they seem 

   F/C               G
In sounds of spring, in winter storms 

   F/C              Bb
In autumn gales, on summer morns lie broken dreams 

   C                 Bb
In love songs and in nursery rhymes 

   C                 Bb     C    
On movie screens, in fairy tales 

                     Bb
Lie broken dreams

       C              Bb  F
Life's broken dreams

       C              Bb  F  C
Love's broken dreams
