Those Magic Changes (Broadway/Original Cast Version/1972)
Lyrics
Hey! Hey, Doody! Where did you get the guitar?
Just started takin' lessons during vacation
I was just working on a G-chord
I already know a C, and an A-minor, and an F
Oh wow, that's terrific!
Hey, why don't you play something for us, Elvis?
Yeah, come on!
You want something?
Oh, okay. Lesson four
"Magic Changes", by Ronnie Bell
Ronnie Bell!
C, C, C, C, C, C, A, A, A, A minor
F, F, F, F, F, F, G, G, G, G7
C, C, C, C, C, C, A, A, A, A minor
F, F, F, F, F, F, G, G, G, G7
What's that playin' on the radio?
Why do I start swayin' to and fro?
I have never heard that song before
But if I don't hear it anymore
It's still familiar to me
Sends a thrill right through me
Because those chords remind me of the night
That I first fell in love to
Those magic changes
My heart arranges a melody
That's never the same
A melody
That's calling your name
And begs you, Please come back to me
Please, return to me
Don't go away again
Oh, make them play again
The music I want to hear is once again
You whisper in my ear (C, A)
Oh, my darling (F, G)
C, C, C, C, C, C, A, A, A, A minor
F, F, F, F, F, F, G, G, G, G7
I'll be waiting by the radio
You'll come back to me someday, I know
Been so lonesome since your last goodbye
But I'm singing as I cry
While the bass is sounding
While the drums are pounding
The beating of my broken heart
Will rise to first place on the charts
Oh, my heart arranges
Those magic changes
Oh, oh (C, C, C, C, C, C, A, A, A, A minor)
Oh, oh yeah (F, F, F, F, F, F, G, G, G, G7)
Ooh (la la la la, shoop-de-woop, oh)
