[G]
[Em]
[C] [G]
Come [D] gather [E] round, people, [C] [G] wherever you roam
And admit [Em] that the waters [C] around [D] you have grown
[G] Accept [E] it, that soon you'll [C] be drenched [G] to the bone
If your time [Em] to you [D] is worth saving
Then you better start [C] swimming [Em] or you'll sink [D] like a stone
For [G] the times, they [D] are a [G]-changing
[Em] [C]
[G]
Come [Em] writers and critics, [C] [G] prophesize with your pen
[Em] Keep your eyes wide, the [C] chance [D] won't come again
[G] [D] Don't speak [Em] too soon, [C] for the [G] wheel's still in spin
And there's no [Em] telling [D] who that it's famin'
And the loser [C]
now will [Bm] be [D] led to win
[G] For the times, [D] they are a [G]-changing
[Em] [C]
[G]
Come senators [Em] and [C] congressmen, please [G] heed the call
Don't stand [Em] in the doorways, [C] don't block [D] up the hall
[G] For he that [Em] gets hurt [C] will be [G] he who has stalled
There's a battle [Em] outside [D] and it's raging
You should soon [Am] shake your [Em] windows and rattle [D] your walls
For [G] the times, they [D] are a [G]-changing
[Em] [C]
[G]
Come [Em] mothers and fathers [C] [G] throughout the land
[Em] Don't criticize what [C] you [D] can't understand
Your sons and [Em] your daughters are [C] beyond [G] your command
Your old [Em] road is [D] rapidly aging
[A] Please get [C] out on the new one [Em] if you can
[D] Lend your hand, [G] for the times, they are a-changing
[Em] [C]
[G]
The line [Em] it is drawn, [C] the [D] curse [G] it is cast
The [Em] slow one now will later [D] be fast
[Em] As the present now will later [D] be [G] past
Your old road [Em] is rapidly [D] fading
And the [C] first one [G] now will later [D] be last
[G] For the times, they [D] are a [G]-changing
