[G]
Come gather [Em] round people [C] wherever [G] you roam
And admit that [Em] the waters [C] around you have [D] grown
And [G] accept it [Em] that soon you'll [C] be drenched to [G] the bone
If your time [Am] to you is worth [D] saving
Then you better [C] start swimming or [Em] you'll sink like a [D]
stone
[G] For the times they [D] are a [G]-changing
[Em] [C]
[G]
Some writers [Em] and critics [C] who prophesize [G] with your pen
Then keep your [Em] eyes wide [C] the chance won't [D] come again
And [G] don't speak [Em] too soon for [C] the wheel's still [G] in spin
And there's no telling [Am] who that [D] it's naming
For the loser [C] now will [Em] be later [D] to win
For [G] the times they [D] are a [G]-changing

[Em] [D]
Some [G]
senators, [Em] [C] congressmen, please heed [G] the call
Don't stand [Em] in the doorway, [C] don't block up [D] the hall
For he that [Em] gets hurt will [C] be he who [G] has stalled
If battle [Am] [D] outside raging
Well soon shake [C] your windows [Em] and rattle [D] your walls
[G] For the times they [D] are a-changing
[G]
[D] [G]
[D] [G]
Mothers [Em] and fathers [C]
throughout the [G] land
And don't [Em] criticize [C] what you can't [D]
understand
Your sons [Em] and your daughters are [C] beyond [G] your command
Your old [Am] road is rapidly [D]
aging
Please get out [C] of the new one [Em] if you can't lend [D] your hand

The line it [Em] is drawn, [C] the curse it [G] is cast
The slow [Em] one now [C] will later [D] be fast
As the present [Em] now [C] will later [G] be past
The order [Am] is rapidly [D] fading
And the first [C] one now [Em] will later be [D] last
