Written by Bob Dylan. Bruce Springsteen played it live in 1997.
G Em
Come gather 'round people
C G
Wherever you roam
G Am
And admit that the waters
C D
Around you have grown
G Em
And accept it that soon
C G
You'll be drenched to the bone.
G Am
If your time to you
D
Is worth savin'
G D
Then you better start swimmin'
C D
Or you'll sink like a stone
G C D G
For the times they are a-changin'.
G Em
Come writers and critics
C G
Who prophesize with your pen
G Am
And keep your eyes wide
C D
The chance won't come again
G Em
And don't speak too soon
C G
For the wheel's still in spin
G Am
And there's no tellin' who
D
That it's namin'.
G D
For the loser now
C D
Will be later to win
G C D G
For the times they are a-changin'.
G Em
Come senators, congressmen
C G
Please heed the call
G Am
Don't stand in the doorway
C D
Don't block up the hall
G Em
For he that gets hurt
C G
Will be he who has stalled
G Am
There's a battle outside
D
And it is ragin'.
G D
It'll soon shake your windows
C D
And rattle your walls
G C D G
For the times they are a-changin'.
G Em
Come mothers and fathers
C G
Throughout the land
G Am
And don't criticize
C D
What you can't understand
G Em
Your sons and your daughters
C G
Are beyond your command
G Am
Your old road is
D
Rapidly agin'.
G D
Please get out of the new one
C D
If you can't lend your hand
G C D G
For the times they are a-changin'.
G Em
The line it is drawn
C G
The curse it is cast
G Am
The slow one now
C D
Will later be fast
G Em
As the present now
C G
Will later be past
G Am
The order is
D
Rapidly fadin'.
G D
And the first one now
C D
Will later be last
G C D G
For the times they are a-changin'.
Enjoy!
