G                              C         G
Come gather round people where ever you roam
                      D
Admit that the waters around you have grown
    G                         C               G
Accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
                              D
If your time to you is worth savin?

[Chorus]
         G            C                  G            C
Then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
        G                D     C   G
For the times they are a changin

[Verse 2]
G                            C                    G
Come writers and critics who Prophesize with your pen
                                     D
Keep your eyes open the chance won't come again
    G                          C                G
And watch what you say for the wheel's still in spin
                                D
There's no tellin who that it's name'n

[Chorus]
        G     C           G        C
For the loser now will be later to win
        G                D    C      G
For the times they are a changin

[Verse 3]
     G                    C               G
Come senators congressmen please heed the call
                                 D
Don't stand in the doorway don't block up the hall
    G                         C          G
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
                                   D
There's a battle outside and it's ragin

[Chorus]
     G          C           G               C
Will rattle our windows and shake down your walls
       G                 D     C      G
For the times they are a changin

[Verse 4
G                               C       G
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
                              D
And don't criticize what you can't understand
     G                      C                G
Your sons and daughters are beyond your command
                          D
Your old road is rapidly age'n

[Chorus]
       G           C              G                C
Get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
        G                D     C        
For the times they are a changin
