[Verse] 
ThEis old house is a-tAumbling dEown
The walls are gone but the rBoof is sEound
The landlord’s deaf, he can neAver be fEound
It’s time to ring some cBhangEesB  E  
[Verse] 
They’ll arrEest you son if you jAust stand stEill
They’ll ask you to pose with your hBand in the tEill
They’ll ask you to die when you’ve wrAitten your wEill
It’s time to ring some cBhangEes
[Chorus]
TAime to ring some changes, tEime to ring some cBhangEes
TAime to ring some changes, tEime to ring some cBhangEes
[Instrumental]
E A E B E

[Verse] 
You eEarn your money for your dAaily brEead
But the bread’s gone up so you nBeed more mEoney
But the money’s gone down, better bAorrow instEead
It’s time to ring some cBhangEesB  E  
[Verse] 
Now the pEoliticians, they lAook so sEmug
They say tell the truth, then they gBive you a shErug
You might find the truth swept Aunder the rEug
It’s time to ring some cBhangEes
[Chorus]
TAime to ring some changes, tEime to ring some cBhangEes
TAime to ring some changes, tEime to ring some cBhangEes
[Instrumental]

He says why can’t you, Bif I cEan
Can’t you push buttons, cAan’t you make plEans
It’s time to ring some cBhangEes
[Verse] 
EI’m going to tear this mAansion dEown
Get my feet back Bon the grEound
Penny for penny and pAound for pEound
It’s time to ring some cBhangEes
[Chorus]
TAime to ring some changes, tEime to ring some cBhangEes
TAime to ring some changes, tEime to ring some cBhangEes
TAime to ring some changes, tEime to ring some cBhangEes
