Times They Are A-Changin'

Bob Dylan

         G            Emi       D         G
1. Come gather 'roud people wherever you roam
                       C       D4              D
   And admit that the waters around you have grown
          G            Emi             D              G
   And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
                    C            D4    D
   If your time to you is worth savin'
                           D/C               D/H         D/A
   Then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
            G       C          D4 D G
   For the times, they are a-cha--ngin'.

2. Come writers and critics who prophecies with your pen
   And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
   And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
   And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
   For the loser now will later to win
   For the times, they are a-changin'.

3. Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
   And don't criticize what you don't understand
   Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
   Your old road is rapidly agin'
   Please get out of the new one if you cant lend a hand
   For the times, they are a-changin'

4. Come senators, congressmen please heed the call
   Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
   For he that gets hurt will be who has stalled
   There's a battle outside and it's ragin'
   It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
   For the times, they are a-changin'

5. The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast
   The slow one now will later be fast
   As the present now will later be past
   The order is rapidly fadin'
   And the first one now will later be last
   For the times, they are a-changin'.
