Intro: D  D/C  D/B  D/A 

     G             Em         C            G 
Come gather 'round people wherever you may roam 
               Am      C              D 
Admit that the waters around you have grown 
  G        Em             C               G 
Admit that soon you'll be drenched to the bone 
                Am           D 
If your time to you is worth saving 
                       D/C                D/B         D/A 
Well, you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone 
        G                C D  G 
For the times they are a-changin' 


                 Em          C                    G 
Come writers and critics who prophecies with your pen 
                   Am              C           D 
And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again 
      G         Em           C                G 
Don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin 
                       Am            D 
And there's no telling who that it's naming 
              D/C         D/B      D/A 
For the loser now will be later to win 
        G                C D  G 
For the times they are a-changin' 


               Em           C               G 
Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call 
                   Am             C            D 
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block in the hall 
    G         Em       C          G 
For he who is lost, is he who has all 
                   Am            D 
There's a storm outside and it's raging 
                      D/C         D/B         D/A 
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls 
        G                C D  G 
For the times they are a-changin'
