[F]
[Eb] [F]
I'm a gather [Dm] around people [Gm] wherever [F] you roam And admit [Gm] that the [C] waters around you have grown
[F] And accept it that [Dm] soon [Bb] you'll be drenched [F] to the bone
If your time to you is [C] worth saving [F] Then you better start [C] swimming or [Bb] you'll sink like [C] a stone
[F] For the times they [C] are a [F] -changin'
[Eb]
[F]
Comrades [Dm] and critics, [Gm] who [F] prophesize with your pen And keep your [Gm] eyes wide, [C] the chance won't come again
[F] And don't speak too [Dm]
soon, [Bb] for the wheel's [F] still in spin And there's no tellin' who [C] that's a-namin'
[F] A blue [Am]
chanel [Bb] will be later [C] to win [F] For the times they [C] are a [F]-changin'
[Eb] [F]
Come [Dm] senators, [Bb] congressmen, please [F] even ball Don't stand [Gm] in 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]
raging
[F] We'll soon [Am] shake your windows [Bb] and rattle [C] your walls [F] For the times they [C] are a [F]-changin'
[Eb]
[F]
Come mothers [Dm] and fathers [Gm] all over [F] the land And don't [Gm] criticize [C] what you can't understand
[F] Your sons [Dm] and daughters [Bb] are beyond your [F] command Your own role is [C] rapidly aging
[F] Please get out of the new [Bb] wood if you [C] can't lend your hand [F] For the times they [C] are a [F]-changin'
[Eb] [F]
Their line [Dm] is drawn, [Bb] the cursed [F] is cast This slow [Gm] one now [C] will later be fast
[F] And the present [Dm] now [Gm] will later be [F] fast The order is [C] rapidly fading
