Lyrics

A wor ried man with a wor ried mind,

no one in front of me and noth ing be hind.

There’s a (Gm)wom an on my lap and she’s

drink ing cham (D7)pagne.

Got white skin, got as sas sin’s eyes,

I’m look ing up in to the sap phire tint ed skies, I’m well dressed,

wait ing on the (D7)last

train.

(Eb)Stand ing on the gal lows with my head in the (Gm)noose.

An y (Eb)min ute now I’m ex pect ing all hell

to (F)break (D7)loose.

(Gm)Peo ple are cra zy and times are strange.

I’m (Cm)locked in tight, I’m out of range.

I (Gm)used to care but

(D7)things have changed.

A wor ried man with a wor ried mind,

no one in front of me and noth ing be hind.

There’s a (Gm)wom an on my lap and she’s

drink ing cham (D7)pagne.

Got white skin, got as sas sin’s eyes,

I’m look ing up in to the sap phire tint ed skies, I’m well dressed,

wait ing on the (D7)last

train.

(Eb)Stand ing on the gal lows with my

head in the (Gm)noose.

An y (Eb)min ute now I’m ex pect ing all hell

to (F)break (D7)loose.

(Gm)Peo ple are cra zy and times are strange.

I’m (Cm)locked in tight, I’m out of range.

I (Gm)used to care but

(D7)things have changed.

This page shows “Things Have Changed” by Bob Dylan in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of Eb at 100 BPM, a medium-difficulty arrangement — try slowing the tempo down using the BPM control.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
