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'. 
 
 
 
Enjoy!
