The Times They Are A Changin’

Bob Dylan

Key GDifficulty 2Spiritual Songs Kid Songs

Come G gather 'round Em people C wherever you G roam

And G admit that the Em waters C around you have D grown

And G accept it that Em soon you'll be C drenched to the G bone

If your G time to Em you is worth D savin'

Then you D better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,

For the G times, they are a D chang-G-in'

Come G writers and Em critics who C prophesize with your G pen

And G keep your eyes Em wide the chance C won't come D again

And G don't speak too Em soon for the C wheel's still in G spin

And there's G no tellin' Em who that it's D namin'

For the D loser now will be later to win

For the G times, they are a D chang-G-in'

Come G senators, Em congressmen C please heed the G call

Don't G stand in the Em doorway, don't C block up the D hall

For G he that gets Em hurt will be C he who has G stalled

There's a G battle Em outside and it's D ragin'

It'll D soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

For the G times, they are a D chang-G-in'

Come G mothers and Em fathers C throughout the G land

And G don't criti-Em-cize what you C don't D understand

Your G sons and your Em daughters are C beyond your G command

Your G old road is Em rapidly D agin'

Please get D out of the new one if you can't lend a hand

For the G times, they are a D chang-G-in'

The G line it is Em drawn the C curse it is G cast

The G slow one Em now will C later be D fast

As the G present Em now will C later be G past

The G order is Em rapidly D fadin'

And the D first one now will later be last

For the G times, they are a D chang-G-in'
