G             Em  
Come gather 'round people  
    C        G  
Wherever you roam  
      G            Am  
And admit that the waters  
 C              D  
Around you have grown  
      G            Em  
And accept it that soon  
          C               G  
You'll be drenched to the bone.  
        G       Am  
If your time to you  
         D  
Is worth savin'  
         G            D  
Then you better start swimmin'  
          C           D  
Or you'll sink like a stone  
        G     C          D   G  
For the times they are a-changin'.  



G             Em  

Come writers and critics  
C        G  

Who prophesize with your pen  
G            Am  
And keep your eyes wide  
C              D  

The chance won't come again  
G            Em  

And don't speak too soon  
C               G  

For the wheel's still in spin  
G       Am  

And there's no tellin' who  
D  

That it's namin'.  
G            D  

For the loser now  
C           D  

Will be later to win  
G     C          D   G  
For the times they are a-changin'.  



G             Em  

Come senators, congressmen  
C        G  

Please heed the call  
G            Am  
Don't stand in the doorway  
C              D  

Don't block up the hall  
G            Em  

For he that gets hurt  
C               G  

Will be he who has stalled  
G       Am  

There's a battle outside  
D  

And it is ragin'.  
G            D  

It'll soon shake your windows  
C           D  

And rattle your walls  
G     C          D   G  
For the times they are a-changin'.  




G             Em  

Come mothers and fathers  
C        G  

Throughout the land  
G            Am  
And don't criticize  
C              D  

What you can't understand  
G            Em  

Your sons and your daughters  
C               G  

Are beyond your command  
G       Am  

Your old road is  
D  

Rapidly agin'.  
G            D  

Please get out of the new one  
C           D  

If you can't lend your hand  
G     C          D   G  
For the times they are a-changin'.  



G             Em  

The line it is drawn  
C        G  

The curse it is cast  
G            Am  
The slow one now  
C              D  

Will later be fast  
G            Em  

As the present now  
C               G  

Will later be past  
G       Am  

The order is  
D  

Rapidly fadin'.  
G            D  

And the first one now  
C           D  

Will later be last  
G     C          D   G  
For the times they are a-changin'.
