version 3
Tuning: Standard 440 Tuning
This is a guitar version of the sax solo in Cool Change. I went to some free, user submitted sax solo
websites, then transcribed it from B-flat to the key of A, how the recording sound.
This is my version of
that Sax Solo that is after the break that goes:
C A
Sometimes I’m romantic and sometimes I don’t care,
C E
I know this might sound selfish but let me breath the air.
The sax actually starts the first note of the solo on the lyric “let (me breath…"
which makes this note like
four whole notes, too long for me, but I come in for the last whole note. Also since
I’m trying to sound
like a Sax, I’m applying tremolo on any note a quarter or longer, and sliding a lot,
I’ve included the ones
that facilitate my fingering. It’s not exact, but I think it sounds pretty good, and
I hope you enjoy!
I’d love to hear from anybody who’s gotten it closer. ps, my first submission to UG, Don
Meanwhile, the band is playing the Verse chords: A G D A // (twice)

If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
There's lots of you friendly people
They're showing me ways to go
And I never want to lose their inspiration
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
And now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change
Well, I was born in the sign of water
And it's there that I feel my best
The albatross and the whales, they are my brothers
It's kind of a special feeling
When you're out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover
Time for a cool change
I know that it's time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
I know that it's time for a cool change
Well I've never been romantic
And sometimes I don't care
I know it may sound selfish
But let me breathe the air
Yeah, yeah
If there's one thing in my life that's missing
It's the time that I spend alone
Sailing on the cool and bright clear water
It's kind of a special feeling
When out on the sea alone
Staring at the full moon like a lover
Time for a cool change
Time for a cool change
Now that my life is so prearranged
Well I know, I know, I know it's time for a cool, cool change
