Chords for Bruce Springsteen "The Times They Are A-Changin'" 1997

_ Ladies and gentlemen, Bruce Sprinsky. _ _ _
_ Hi, Bob.
It's great to be here for you tonight. _
The song I'm going to sing was written at a moment in our country's history _
when [Ab] people's yearning for a more open and just society [F] exploded. _
Bob Dylan had the courage to stand [C] in that fire, and he caught the sound of that explosion.
And this song remains as [Fm] a beautiful call to arms.
The meaning of this song and the echo of that explosion live on in the struggle for social justice in America that continues so [F] fiercely today. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Gather round, people, wherever you are on
[F] _
_ Admit that the waters [C] around you have grown
Accept that [F] soon you'll be drenched to the bone
For time to you is worth saving
Then you better start to swim in a real sink like a stone
_ For the times, they [C] are a-changing
[F] _
_ Come critics and writers who prophesize with the open _
Keep your eyes wide open, the chance won't come again
Don't speak too [C] soon, the wheel's still [F] in spin
There's no telling who that it's naming
For the loser now will [Dm] be later to win _
[C] For the times, they are a [F]-changing _ _
_ Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't [C] block the hall
For [F] he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside still [F] raging
_ _ And it'll shake your windows and it'll rout your walls
For the [C] times, they are a [F]-changing _ _
_ _ Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
_ Don't criticize what [C] you don't understand
Your sons and your daughters [F] are beyond your command
Your old world is rapidly aging
Please get out of the knowing if you can, Linda Ann
For the times, they are a-changing _ _ _ _
_ Now the line it is drawn and the curse it's cast _
For one now will later [C] be fast
As the present now [F] will later be past
_ [C] The order's rapidly [F] fading
And the first one now will one day be _ last
For the times, they [C] are a _ [F]-changing
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
