Taylor Swift - Change Chords

Capo on 3.


Intro:  D A Em G

D
It's just a sad picture,
A
The final blow hits you
Em                            G
Somebody else gets what you wanted again
D
You know it's all the same
A
Another time and place
Em                              G
Repeating history, and you're getting sick of it
     Em              G        A
But I believe in whatever you do
             Em          G      A
And I'll do anything to see it through



                            D
Because these things will change
               A
We can see it now
                         Em                        G
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
               D                 A                       Em   G
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
                      D   A
We'll sing hallelujah
                      Em  G
We'll sing hallelujah
   D
Oh    Oh

                  D
So you've been outnumbered
                    A
When you've been out cornered
    Em                       G
It's time to find what you're fighting for
D
You're getting stronger now
A
Em                    G
They might be bigger, but we're faster and never scared
Em            G                     A                            
You can walk away and say we dont need this
Em                             G                     A
But There's something in your eyes that says we can beat this


                            D
Because these things will change
               A
We can see it now
                         Em                        G
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
              D                 A                       Em   G
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
                      D   A
We'll sing hallelujah
                      Em  G
We'll sing hallelujah
   D
Oh


D                    A          Em        
Tonight we're standing, on our feet
                          G                       D
To fight for what we worked for all these years
               A                            Em
The battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
                    G           A
We'll stand up champions won and

                     D
It's the night we changed
                    A
We can feel it now,
                          Em                     G                        
When the walls that they put up to hold us back they fell down
                                                                  
                       D                  A                       Em G
Cause it's a revolution, throw your hands up, cause we never gave in
                     D   A
We'll sing halleluiah
                     Em  G
We'll sing halleluiah
            D  A  Em  G  D
Hallelujiah

D   A   Em   C





How to play "Change" by Taylor Swift on Ukulele

   A:    2100
   Em:   0432
   G:    0232

Common Mistakes:
- Not maintaining consistent strumming intensity, which is crucial for
  the song's driving force.
- Missing the capo placement on the 3rd fret, which aligns the ukulele
  chords with the song's original pitch and tone.
- Overlooking the emotional build-up towards the chorus and bridge,
  essential for delivering the song's theme of overcoming adversity.

Lyrics Theme Summary:
"Change" is an empowering anthem about fighting against the odds and
emerging victorious. The song reflects personal and collective struggles,
culminating in a hopeful resolution that with perseverance, change is
possible. The repeated choruses with "We'll sing hallelujah" symbolize
triumph and the joy of achieving long-sought-after goals.
