     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'!
