| C | Am | F | C | |
| Come | gather 'round | people wher | ever you | roam |
| C | Am | F | G | |
| And ad | mit that the | waters a | round you have | grown! |
| C | Am | F | C | |
| And ac | cept it that | soon you'll be | drenched to the | bone |
| C | Am | F | G | |
| If your | time to | you is worth | savin'! |
| C | Am | F | G | |
| Then you | better start | swimmin' or you'll | sink like a | stone |
| C | Am | F | G | C | |
| For the | times, | they are a | cha- | an- | gin'! |
| Come writers and critics who prophecise with your pen |
| And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again! |
| And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin |
| And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'! |
| For the loser now will be later to win |
| For the times they are a-changin'! |
| Come mothers and fathers throughout the land - And don't criticize what you don't understand! |
| Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command - Your old road is rapidly agin'! |
| Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand |
| For the times they are a-changin'! |
| Come senators, congressmen please heed the call |
| Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall! |
| For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled |
| There's a battle outside and it's ragin'! |
| It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls |
| 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'! |
