The Times They Are A Changin’

G             Em         C        G
 Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
       G            Am      C              D
 And admit that the waters around you have grown
       G            Em             C               G
 And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
         G       Am           D
 If your time to you is worth savin'
          D            D7                 Gmaj7       D
 Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,
         G                 C    D  G
 For the times, they are a chang - in'
 
      G             Em         C        G
 Come writers and critics who prophecies with your pen
      G             Em         C        D
 And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
      G             Em         C        G
 And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
         G       Am           D
 And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
          D            D7        Gmaj7 D
 For the loser now will be later to win
         G                 C    D G
 For the times they are a-changin'
 
      G             Em         C        G
 Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
      G             Em         C        D
 And don't criticize what you don't understand
      G             Em         C        G
 Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
         G       Am           D
 Your old road is rapidly agin'
          D            D7                 Gmaj7       D
 Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand
         G                 C    D G
 For the times they are a-changin'

 Come senators, congressmen please heed the call
      G             Em         C        D
 Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
      G             Em         C        G
 For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
         G       Am           D
 There's a battle outside and it's ragin'
          D            D7                 Gmaj7    D
 It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
         G                 C    D G
 For the times they are a-changin'
 
      G             Em         C        G
 The line it is drawn the curse it is cast
      G             Em         C   D
 The slow one now will later be fast
      G             Em         C    G
 As the present now will later be past
         G       Am        D
 The order is rapidly fadin'
          D            D7          Gmaj7 D
 And the first one now will later be last
         G                 C    D G
 For the times they are a-changin'
