      F             Dm        A#         F
Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
    F               Gm     A#               C
And admit that the waters around you have grown
       F            Dm              A#
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to
     F
the bone
         F       Gm           C
If your time to you is worth savin'
          C            C7                 C6
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink
         C
like a stone,
         F          A#       C  F
For the times, they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics
Who prophesise with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'

Come senators, Congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he that has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers
All over the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'

The line, it is drawn
The curse, it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
And the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
The first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'
For the times they are a-changin'
