Intro:
[Strum D for 6 bars]
 
     D             Bm
Come gather 'round people
    G        D
Wherever you roam
      D            Em
And admit that the waters
 G              A
Around you have grown
      D            Bm
And accept it that soon
          G               D
You'll be drenched to the bone.
        D       Em
If your time to you
         A
Is worth savin'
         A            A/G
Then you better start swimmin'
          A/F#        A
Or you'll sink like a stone
        D     G          A    D
For the times they are a-changin'.
 
 
D      G      A      D      D      D      D

     D           Bm
Come writers and critics
 
          G              D
Who prophesize with your pen
 
    D              Em
And keep your eyes wide
 
           G          A
The chance won't come again
 
          D         Bm
And don't speak too soon
 
        G                D
For the wheel's still in spin
 
            D          Em
And there's no tellin' who
 
          A
That it's namin'.
 
        A     A/G
For the loser now
 
        A/F#     A
Will be later to win

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway
 
      G            A
Don't block up the hall
 
    D            Bm
For he that gets hurt
 
        G          D
Will be he who has stalled
 
          D         Em
There's a battle outside
 
          A
And it is ragin'.
 
           A          A/G
It'll soon shake your windows
 
    A/F#        A
And rattle your walls
 
        D          G     A    D
For the times they are a-changin'.

Throughout the land
 
    D          Em
And don't criticize
 
         G          A
What you can't understand
 
     D             Bm
Your sons and your daughters
 
       G           D
Are beyond your command
 
     D
Your old road is
 
Em        A
Rapidly agin'.
 
       A              A/G
Please get out of the new one
 
       A/F#            A
If you can't lend your hand
 
        D          G     A    D
For the times they are a-changin'.

    D          Bm
The line it is drawn
 
    G           D
The curse it is cast
 
    D        Em
The slow one now
 
     G        A
Will later be fast
 
       D       Bm
As the present now
 
     G        D
Will later be past
 
    D
The order is
 
Em      A
Rapidly fadin'.
 
        A         A/G
And the first one now

For the times they are a-changin'.
