CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Come gather 'round Ampeople where Fever you Croam
And admit that the Dmwaters arouFnd you have Ggrown
And acCcept it that Amsoon you'll be Fdrenched to the Cbone
If your time to Dmyou is worth Gsavin'
Then you better start G7swimmin' or you'll Csink like a sGtone
For the Ctimes Fthey are a' GchangCin'
[Verse 2]
Come writers and Amcritics who Fprophecies with your Cpen
And keep your eyes Dmwide the chance Fwon't come aGgain
And Cdon't speak too Amsoon for the Fwheel's still in Cspin
And there's no tellin' Dmwho that it's Gnamin'
For the loser G7now will be Clater to Gwin
For the Ctimes Fthey are a' GchangCin'
[Verse 3]
Come senators, Amcongressmen, Fplease heed the Ccall
Don't stand in the Dmdoorway don't Fblock up the Ghall
For Che that gets Amhurt will be Fhe who has Cstalled
There's a battle Dmoutside and it's Gragin'
It'll soon shake your G7windows and Crattle your Gwalls
For the Ctimes Fthey are a' GchangCin'
[Verse 4]
Come mothers and Amfathers Fthroughout the Cland
And don't critiDmcize what you Fcan't underGstand
Your Csons and your Amdaughters are beFyond your comCmand
Your old road is Dmrapidly Gagin'
Please get out of the G7new one if you Ccan't lend your Ghand
For the Ctimes Fthey are a' GchangCin'
[Verse 5]
The line it is Amdrawn the Fcurse it is Ccast
The slow one Dmnow will Flater be Gfast
As the Cpresent Amnow will Flater be Cpast
The order is Dmrapidly Gfadin'
And the first one G7now will Clater be Glast
For the Ctimes Fthey are a' GchangCin'
