Bob Dylan – Times They Are A’changing

(Album: Bob Dylan at Budokan (1978))

     G                         Em              C               G

Come gather ’round people wherever you roam

      G                      Am            C                    D

And admit that the waters around you have grown

      G                     Em                    C                      G

And accept it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone

            G        Am               D

If your time to you is worth savin’   Then you

D                  D7                     Gmaj7       D

better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone,

             G                         C    D  G

For the times, they are a chang – in’

     G                      Em              C                              G

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen

      G                       Am            C                             D

And keep your eyes wide the chance won’t come again

       G                      Em                    C                 G

And don’t speak too soon for the wheel’s still in spin

        G                       Am               D

And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’

        D           D7           Gmaj7     D

For the loser now will be later to win

             G                         C    D  G

For the times, they are a chang – in’

     G                         Em              C               G

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land

      G              Am                 C                    D

And don’t criticize what you don’t understand

      G                     Em                    C                      G

Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command

        G              Am           D

Your old road is rapidly agin’

              D                 D7                 Gmaj7          D

Please get out on a new one if you can’t lend a hand

             G                         C    D  G

For the times, they are a chang – in’

              G                         Em              C               G

         Come senators, congressmen please heed the call

               G                      Am                 C                    D

         Don’t stand in the doorway, don’t block up the hall

               G                 Em             C                      G

         For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled

                G               Am                    D

         There’s a battle outside and it’s ragin’

                D                         D7               Gmaj7       D

         It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

                      G                         C    D  G

         For the times, they are a chang – in’

         G         Em          C              G

The line it is drawn the curse it is cast

        G            Am        C           D

The slow one now will later be fast

       G              Em          C          G

As the present now will later be past

         G         Am       D

The order is rapidly fadin’

         D                 D7       Gmaj7      D

And the first one now will later be last

             G                         C    D  G

For the times, they are a chang – in’
