[Eb] [F]
I'm a gather [Dm] around people [Bb] wherever [F] you roam
And if it [Gm] bad the [C] waters around you have grown
[F] And accepted [Dm] by soon [Bb] you'll be drenched to [F] the bone
If your time to you is [C] worth saving
[F] Then you better start [Am] swimming or [Bb] you'll sink like [C] a stone
[F] For the times they are [C] a-changin'
[F]
[Eb]
[F]
I'm a writer [Dm] and critics [Bb] who prophesize [F] with your pen
And keep your [Gm] eyes wide [C] the chance won't come again
[F] And don't speak [Dm] too soon [Bb] for the wheels are still [F] in spin
And there's no tellin' who [C] that's camin'
[F] All the losers [Am]
now will [Bb] be later [C] to win
[F] For the times they are [C] a
[F] -changin'
[Eb] [F]
Come [Dm] Senators, [Bb] Congressmen, please [F] heed the call
Don't stand in [G] the [C] doorways, don't block up the hall
[F] For he that [Dm] gets hurt will [Bb] be he that [F] has stalled
The battle outside [C]
ragin'
[F] Will soon [Am] shake your [Bb] windows and rattle [C] your wall
[F] For the times they are [C] a
[F]-changin'
[Eb]
[F]
Come mothers [Dm] and fathers [Bb] all over [F] the land
And don't [G] criticize what [C] you can't understand
[F] Your sons [Dm] and your daughters [Bb] are beyond your [F]
command
Your own role [C] is rapidly aging
Please [F] get out of the new world if [Bb] you can't [C] lend your hand
[F] For the times they [C] are a-changin'
[F]
[Eb] [F]
The line [Dm] is drawn, [Bb] the curse it is [F] cast
This slow [Gm] one now [C] will later be fast
[F] And the president [Dm] now [Bb] will later [F] be fast
The order [Am] is rapidly [C]
fading
[F] The first [Am] one now [Bb] will later be [C] fast
[F] For the times they are [C] a-changin'
[F]
[Eb]
[F]
For the times they are [C] a-changin'
