Artist : Garth Brooks
Album : Fresh Horses
Song : The Change
I saw that someone else had posted the chords for this song, and well to be quite
honest, they played it the "hard" way in my opinion. So, in my own sad attempt,
I transposed it back a half step and put a capo on the first fret in an attempt to
make it easier on a few of our more beginning guitarist. Hope this helps some of
you!! (original work done by MrStrin91@aol.com)

I do this so, this world will know that it will not change me

2. This heart still believes that love and mercy still exist.
While all the hatreds rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire with the moisture from a kiss.
Repeat C.
