[Verse 1]

          G                    Em              C               G
Come gather 'round people wherever 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'
                D
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,
            G                 C      D     G
For the times, they are a-changin'

[Verse 2]
           G               Em                           C                 G
Come writers and critics who prophesize 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'
             D
For the loser now will be later to win
            G                C      D       G
For the times they are a-changin'

[Verse 3]
          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'
          D
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
            G               C       D       G
For the times they are a-changin'

[Verse 4]
           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'
               D
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand
             G               C      D        G
For the times they are a-changin'

[Verse 5]
       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'
              D
And the first one now will later be last
             G              C       D       G
For the times they are a-changin'
