G Em C G
come gather ’round people where ever 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’
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’ changin’!

G Em C G
come writers and critics who prophecies with your pen
G Am 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’
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 senators , congressmen please heed the call
G Am 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’
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
come mothers and fathers throughout the land
G Am C D
and don’t criticize what you can’t understand
G Em C G
your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
G Am D
your old road is rapidly agin’
D7 Gmaj7 D
please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand
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 Am 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’
D7 Gmaj7 D
and the first one now will later be last
G C D G
for the times they are a’ changin’!
