[Verse 1]
G           Em            C        G
Come gather around people wherever you roam
G              Am         C          D
and admit that the waters around you have grown
G          Em            C         G
and accept that too soon you'll be drenched to the bone
G            Am        D
if your time to you is worth saving
D                 D7             G         D
then you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
G             C        D     G
for the times they are a changing


[Verse 2]
G            Em          C            G
come writers and critics who prophesy 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 telling who that is naming
D       D7        G       D
for the loser now will be later to win
G             C        D     G
for the times they are a changing


[Verse 3]
G              Em           C           G
Come senators, congressman, 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 raging
D            D7                 G          D
it will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
G             C        D     G
for the times they are a changing


[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 beyond your command
G            Am         D
the old road is rapidly aging
       D              D7             G               D
please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
G             C        D     G
for the times they are a changing


[Verse 5]
G        Em        C         G
The line is drawn, the curse 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
and the order is rapidly fading
D            D7      G          D
as the first one now will later be last
G             C        D     G
for the times they are a changing
