from Bob Dylan
[Strophe]
     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'! 
[Strophe]
     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'! 
[Strophe]
     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'! 
[Strophe]
     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'! 
[Strophe]
     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'!
