Come[G] gather 'round[Em] people
Wher[C]ever you[G] roam
And ad[G]mit that the[Em] waters
A[C]round you have[D] grown
And ac[G]cept it that[Em] soon
You'll be[C] drenched to the [G]bone.
If your [G]time to [Am]you

For the[G] times[C] they are a-[D]chan[G]gin'.

Come[G] writers and[Em] critics
Who pro[C]phesize with your[G] pen
And[G] keep your eyes[Em] wide
The chance[C] won't come a[D]gain
And[G] don't speak too[Em] soon
For the [C]wheel's still in[G] spin
And there's[G] no tellin'[Am] who
That it's[D] namin'.

Will be[G/b] later to[D] win
For the[G] times[C] they are a-[D]chan[G]gin'.

Come [G]senators,[Em] congressmen
[C]Pleaseheed the[G] call
Don't[G] stand in the[Em] doorway
Don't[C] block up the[D] hall
For[G] he that gets[Em] hurt
Will be[C] he who has[G] stalled
There's a[G] battle [Am]outside
And it is[D] ragin'.
It'll[D] soon shake your[D2/c] windows
And[G/b] rattle your[D] walls
For the[G] times[C] they are a-[D]chan[G]gin'.

Come[G] mothers and[Em] fathers

And[G] don't criti[Em]cize
What you[C] can't under[D]stand

Your old[G] road is
[Am]Rapidly[D] agin'.
Please get[D] out of the[D2/c] new one

For the[G] times[C] they are a-[D]chan[G]gin'.

The [G]line it is[Em] drawn
The[C] curse it is[G] cast
[G]The slow one[Em] now

Andthe[D] first one[D2/c] now
Will[G/b] later be[D] last
For the[G] times[C] they are a-[D]chan[G]gin'.
