[G]
Come down around [Em] people [C] wherever [D] [G] you roam
And admit [Am] that the waters [C] around you [D] have grown
[G] And accept [Em] it, soon [C] you'll be [D] drenched [G] to the bone
If your time [Em] to you [D] is worth saving
Then [C] you'd better [Bm] start swimming [Am] or you'll sink [D] like a stone
[G] For the times, they [C] are a [D] [G] -changin'
Come writers, [Em] come critics [C] who [D] prophesy [G] with your pen
Keep your [Am] eyes wide, [C] the chance won't [D] come again
[G] And don't [Em] speak too soon, [C] for the [D] wheel's [G] still in spin
And there's no [Em] tellin' who [D] it is namin'
[C] For the loser [Bm] now [Am] will be later [D] to win
[G] For the [Em] times, they [C] are a [D]
[G]-changin'
Come mothers [Em] and fathers [C] [G] throughout the land
And don't [Am] criticize [C] what you don't [D] understand
[G] Your sons [Em] and your daughters [C] are beyond [D] your [G] command
Your old [Em] road is rapidly [D] agin'
[C] Please get out [Bm] of the new world [Am] if you can't lend [D] a hand
[G] For the times, [Em] they [C] are a [D] [G]-changin'
Come senators [Em] and congressmen, [C] please [G] heed the call
Don't stand in [Am] the doorway, [C] don't block up [D] the hall
[G] He who [Em] gets hurt [C] will be he [D] who [G] has stalled
There's a battle [Em] outside and [D] it's ragin'
[C] You'll soon shake [Bm] your windows [Am] and revel [D] your wall
[G] For the times, [Em] they [C] are a [D]
[G] -changin'
The line [Em] is drawn, [C] the curse [D] it [G] is cast
Slow [Am] one now [C] will later [D] be fast
[G] As the [Em] present drought [C] will later [D]
[G] be past
The order [A] is [Em]
[D] rapidly fadin'
[C] First [Bm] one now [Am] will later be [D] last
[G] For the times, [Em] they are [C] a [D] [G] -changin'
For the times, [Em] they are [C] a [D]
[G]-changin'
For the times, [Em] they [C] are a [D] [G] -changin'
For the times, [Em] they are a [D]
