Intro: E  
ECome gather 'round people wherAever you rEoam
And Eadmit that the waters arBound you have grown
AccEept it that soon you'll be dreAnched to the bEone.
If your tEime to you is worth sBavin'
          /            B/               A/          G#/F#  
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the tEimes thAey are a-chBangEin'.
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
So get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
Guitar solo 
...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 fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'
