G
Come gather 'round people
Cadd9          G
Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters
  Am            D
Around you have grown
    G
And expect that it soon
          Cadd9           G
You'll be drenched to the bone.
		Am
If your time to you
         D
Is worth savin'
D  		      Cadd9
Well you better start swimmin'
          B           D
Or you'll sink like a stone
        G     G    Cadd9   B D   G
For the times they are     a-changin'.

G
Come writers and critics
          Cadd9          G
Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide
           Am          D
The chance won't come again
    G	
And don't speak too soon
	Cadd9		 G
For the wheel's still in spin
		       Am
And there's no tellin' who
          D
That it's namin'.
	D     Cadd9
For the loser now
	B	 D
Will be later to win
        G     G    Cadd9   B D   G
For the times they are     a-changin'.

G
Come senators, congressmen
Cadd9           G
Please heed the call
G
Don't stand in the doorway
      Am           D
Don't block up the hall
    G
For he who gets hurt
        Cadd9      G
Will be he who has stalled
		   Am
There's a battle outside
         D
And it's ragin'.
      D		      Cadd9
It'll soon shake your windows
    B           D
And rattle your walls
        G     G    Cadd9   B D   G
For the times they are     a-changin'.

G Cadd9 B A G

G
Come mothers and fathers
Cadd9          G
Throughout the land
G
And don't criticize
         Am        D
What you can't understand
     G
Your sons and your daughters
      Cadd9         G
Are beyond your command
G
And your old road is
Am      D
Rapidly fadin'.
       D              Cadd9
Please get out of the new one
       B               D 
If you can't lend your hand
        G     G    Cadd9   B D   G
For the times they are     a-changin'.

G
The line it is drawn
    Cadd9       G 
The curse it is cast
G
The slow one now
     Am       D
Will later be fast
       G
As the present now
     Cadd9       G 
Will soon be the past
G
And the order is
Am      D
Rapidly fadin'.
	D         Cadd9
And the first one now
     B	      D
Will later be last
D      D	      Cadd9
Please get out of the new one
       B               D
If you can't lend your hand
        D            Cadd9 
Ah, you better start swimmin'
          B           D
Or you'll sink like a stone
	D     Cadd9 
For the loser now
        B        D
Will be later to win
        G     G    Cadd9   B D   G
For the times they are     a-changin'.
