            G             Bm          Em              G 
     I've heard how some people have said that I've changed 
 
               A                     Am          D6 
     That I'm not what I was how it really is a shame 
 
            G               Bm        Em             G 
     The thoughts in their heads manifest on their brow 
 
                A                           Am          D6 
     Like bad scars from ill feelings they themselves arouse 
 
         Am        Cdim            G         E 
     So hateful of anyone that is happy or free 
 
           Am            Cdim         G            E 
     They live all their lives without looking to see 
 
        A(add B)         Am           G  /  Bm  /  Em  /  G  / 
     The light that has lighted the world

     Am  /  Cdim  /  G  /  E  /  A(add B)  /  Am  /  G  /  Bm  /  Em  /  G  / 
 
           G         Bm          Em            G 
     It's funny how people just won't accept change 
 
            A                       Am       D6 
     As if nature itself they'd prefer re-arranged 
 
         G           Bm              Em        G 
     So hard to move on when you're down in a hole 
 
                    A                     Am       D6 
     Where there's so little chance to experience soul 
 
          Am         Cdim            G         E 
     I'm grateful to anyone that is happy or free 
 
         Am        Cdim          G            E 
     For giving me hope while I'm looking to see 
 
        A(add B)         Am           G  /  Bm  /  Em  /  G  /  A  /  Am  /  G 
     The light that has lighted the world
