The Times They Are A-Changin'

Bob Dylan

        G            Emi       C         G 
1.Come gather round people wherever you roam
                      C       D 
  and admit that the waters around you have grown
         G            Emi             C              G 
  and accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
                   Ami          D 
  if your time to you is worth saving
                            C                 G            D 
  then you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
           G                 D  G 
  for the times they are a-changing.
2.Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens
  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 telling who that it's naming
  but the loser now will be later to win
  for the times they are a-changing.
3.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 who has stalled
  the battle outside ragging
  will soon shake your windows and rattle your halls
  for the times they are a-changing.
4.Come mothers and fathers all over this land
  and don't criticize what you can't understand
  your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
  your old role is rapidly aging
  please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
  for the times they are a-changing.
5.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 fading
  and the first one now will later be last
  for the times they are a-changing.
