The Times They Are A Changin

G Em C G 
Come gather ‘round people wherever you roam 
G Am C D 
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 Am D 
If your time to you is worth savin‘ 
D D7 G D 
Then you better start swimmin‘ or you‘ll sink like a stone, 
G C D G 
For the times, they are a chang - in‘ 
 
The Other Verses 
 
Come writers and critics who prophecise with 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 telling who that it‘s naming 
For the loser now will be later to win 
For the times they are a-changin‘

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land 
And don‘t criticize what you don‘t understand 
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command 
Your old road is rapidly aging 
Please get out of the new one if you can‘t lend a hand 
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 who has stalled 
There‘s a battle outside and it‘s raging 
It‘ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls 
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 
As 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-changin‘
