Come gather 'round people wherever you roam,
G Em D D7
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 D D7
If your time to you is worth saving,
G D D7
Then you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone,
G C D-D7-G
For the times they are a-changing.
G Em C G
Come writers and critics who prophesy with your pen.
G Em D D7
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 D D7
And there's no telling who that it's naming,
G D D7
For the loser now will be later to win,
G C D-D7-G
For the times they are a-changing.
G Em C G
Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call.
G Em D D7
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 D D7
There's a battle outside and it's raging,
G D D7
It'll soon shake you windows and rattle your walls,
G C D-D7-G
For the times they ar a-changing.
G Em C G
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land,
G Em D D7
And don't criticize if you can't understand,
G Em C G
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command,
G D D7
Your old road is rapidly aging,
G D D7
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand,
G C D-D7-G
For the times they are a-changing.
G Em C G
The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast,
G Em D D7
The slow one now will later be fast.
G Em C G
As the present now will later be past.
G D D7
The order is rapidly fading.
G D D7
And the first one now will later be last,

G C D-D7-G
For the times they are a-changing.
