G
I'm just a simple working man
Am7
Gettin' by the best I can
A#dim
In this crazy mixed-up muddled-up world that
   G/B
I live in.

I'm a middle class sort of a guy
I'm not rich but I get by
Pretending that I know just what I'm doin'

C
I'm a well bred upper class sort of chap,
Dm7
I don't care much about this and that
D#dim                             C/E  D#dim G7/D
Even when I know there's trouble brewin'.

    G
We think there's a change in the weather
Am
We've got to learn to stick together.
A#dim
We've seen the thunder clouds in the sky,
G7/B
I wanna live, I don't wanna die.

    C        G           C
I think the weather's changing,
   G        C                G
I hope the weather is gonna change.
  Dm                         G7
I hope it's a change for the better
                             C
and it will brighten up my day.

I think there's a change in the weather,
I hope good weather is here to stay
I hope it's a change for the better
and it will brighten up my day

See the holocaust risin' over the horizon
Gonna see a manifestation, total chaos, devastation
Anticyclone and tornados brewin'
Gonna feel the lightnin' strikin'
Thunder clap smokestack frightnin'
There's gonna be evil doin'
There's-a trouble brewin'
Everybody scared
Too much thunder, too much fightin'

Heavy storm clouds comin'
Gonna cover up the sun
And gonna terrify everyone
Better pack up your bags and run

I think there's a change in the weather,
I think the weather is going to change
I hope it's a change for the better and
it will brighten up my day
I think there's a change in the weather,
I hope good weather is here to stay
I hope it's a change for the better
and it will brighten up my day
