The Times They are a-Changin’ --- Bob Dylan

 

Come [G]gather ‘round [Em]people wher-[C]ever you [G]roam,
And ad-[G]mit that the [Am]waters a-[C]round you have [D]grown.
And ac-[G]cept it that [Em]soon you’ll be [C]drenched to the [G]bone.
If your [G]time to [Am]you is worth [D]savin’
Then you’d [D]better start [D7]swimmin’  or you’ll [G7]sink like a [D]stone.
For the [G]times they are a-[C]cha-[D]an-[G]gin’
 

Come [G]writers and [Em]critics who [C]prophecize with your [G]pen.
And [G]keep your eyes [Am]wide, the [C]chance won’t come a-[D]gain.
And [G]don’t speak too [Em]soon, for the [C]wheel’s still in [G]spin,
And there’s [G]no tellin’ [Am]who that it’s [D]namin’
For the [D]loser [D7]now, will be [G7]later to [D]win.
For the [G]times they are a-[C]cha-[D]an-[G]gin’
 

Come [G]mothers and [Em]fathers [C]throughout the [G]land,
And [G]don’t criti-[Am]cize what you [C]can’t under-[D]stand.
Your [G]sons and your [Em]daughters are be-[C]yond your com-[G]mand.
Your [G]old road is [Am]rapidly [D]agein’
Please get [D]out of the [D7]new one if you [G7]can’t lend a [D]hand.
For the [G]times they are a-[C]cha-[D]an-[G]gin’
 

Come [G]Senators, [Em]Congressmen, [C]please heed the [G]call.
Don’t [G]stand in the [Am]doorway, don’t [C]block up the [D]hall.
For [G]he that gets [Em]hurt will be [C]he who has [G]stalled.
There’s a [G]battle out-[Am]side and it’s [D]ragin’
It’ll [D]soon shake your [D7]windows and [G7]rattle your [D]walls.
For the [G]times they are a-[C]cha-[D]an-[G]gin’
 

The [G]line it is [Em]drawn, the [C]curse it is [G]cast.
The [G]slow one [Am]now will [C]later be [D]fast,
As the [G]present [Em]now will [C]later be [G]past,
The [G]order is [Am]rapidly [D]fadin’
And the [D]first one n[D7]ow will [G7]later be [D]last.
For the [G]times they are a-[C]cha-[D]an-[G]gin’
