The Times They Are A-Changin'

Bob Dylan / Bob Dylan: the Times, they are a a-Changin' (1964)

C Am F C
Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
C Am F G
And admit that the waters around you have grown!
C Am F C
And accept 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'!
