[G]
Come gather [Em] round people [C] wherever [G] you roam
And admit [Em] that the waters [C] around you [D] have grown
And [G] accept it [Em] that soon [C] you'll be drenched [G] to the bone
If your time [Am] to you is [D] worth saving
Then you better [C] start swimming or [Em] you'll sink like a [D]
stone
[G] For the times they are [D] a [G]-changing
[Em] [C]
[G]
Come writers [Em] and critics [C] who [G] prophesize with your pen
And keep your [Em] eyes wide [C] the chance won't come [D] again
And [G] don't speak [Em] too soon for the [C] wheel's [G] still 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] Come [C]

[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
[G] For he that [Em] gets hurt will [C] be he who [G] has stalled
The battle [Am] outside [D]
raging
Will soon shake [C] your windows [Em] and rattle [D] your walls
[G] For the times they [D] are a-changing
[G]
Come [D] [G]
[D] [G]
mothers [Em] and fathers [C] throughout [G] the land
And don't [Em] criticize what [C] you can't [D]
understand
Your [G] sons [Em] and your daughters are [C] beyond [G] your command
Your old road [A] is rapidly [D]
aging
Please get out [C] a new one if [G] you can't lend [D] your hand

line it [Em] is drawn, [C] the curse it [G] is cast
The slow [Em] one now [C] will later [D] be fast
As [G] 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
