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',  
                     G                    D                  C               D  
Then you'd better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,   
                 G     C         D   G 
For the times, they are a changin?.   

                  G           Em              C                      C 
Come, writers and critics who prophesy with your pens, 
           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 tellin' who that it's namin' 
                G                     C       D     
For the loser now will be later to win, 
                 G      C            D   G 
For the times, they are a changin?. 

                  G             Em              C                  G 
Come, Senators, Congressmen, 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 who gets hurt will be he who has stalled. 
                  G       Am                 D 
There?s a battle outside and it?s ragin?. 
      G               D    
It'll soon shake your windows   
          G                                          C            D   
It?ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls 
                G        C            D   G   
For the times, they are a-changin'.   

                G           Em          C             G 
Come, mothers, fathers throughout the land,   
            G          Am                 C             G 
And don?t criticize what you don?t understand. 
            G                     Em                G                  Am 
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command. 
            G               Am     G 
Your old road is rapidly agin?.  
            G                        D                C                D 
Please get out of the new one if you can?t lend a hand,   
              G          C            D   G  
For the times, they are a-changin'.   

          G            Em          C            G 
The line it is drawn; the curse, it is cast. 
          G          Am        C         G 
The slow one now will later be fast, 
               G          Em       G        Am 
As the present now will later be past.   
            G         Am      G 
The order is rapidly fadin? 
               G               D       C        D 
And the first one now will later be last, 
                G         C           D    G  
For the times, they are a-changin'.
