Music Must Change words&music P.Townshend
from Who Are You

I've shown the chord shapes from the song book that can
be used to play along with the album, but if you watch the
30 years video you'll see that Pete plays simple open
chords for this song on stage.

Intro

 D              C/D            D                  C/D      D      C/D D
Deep in the back of my mind is an unrealised sound
C/D   Bb                         C                                      D C/D
D
Ev'ry feeling I get from the street says it soon could be found
C/D      D                 C/D          D          C/D      D     C/D D
When I hear the cold lies of the pusher I know it exists
C/D Gm7                                C
It's confirmed in the eyes of the kids emphasised with
       D       C/D
their fists
           F                      C          Eb
But the high has to rise with the low
Bb          F                    F         Eb
Like volcanoes explode thru the snow
Bb        Gm                          F6/C
The mosquito's sting brings a dream
                               Ebmaj7
But the poisons derange
A7                          D         A/D
Hm the music must change
D                           Dm    Em F G
For we're chewing a bone
      A                    Bm7
We soared like the sparrow hawk
D                  A                   D       A
Flied then we dropped like a stone
D                                        C/D
Like the tide and the waves
D                        Dm     Em F
Growing slowly in range
G           A                  Bm7         D
Crushing mountains as old as the earth
           A                D
So the music must change

D A/D D A/D D A D

Sometimes at night I wake up and my body's like ice
The sound of the running wild stallion the noise of the mice
And I wondered if then I could hear into all of your dreams
I realise now it was really the sound of your screams
But death always leads into life
The streetfighter swallows the knife
Am I so crazy to feel that it's here prearranged
The music must change
It gets higher and higher
Smould'ring like leaves in the sun
Then it bursts into fire
Its rhythm grows strong
It's so new and so strange
Like bells in a cloud then again
The music must change

D                          G      A
But is this song so different
D                 G      A
Am I doing it all again
D                       G           A
It may have been done before
D                            G        A
But then music's an open door
