sink like a stone for the times they are a-changin."
Come [G]gather 'round people where [D7]ever you [G]roam
And admit that the [D7]waters around you have grown
And [G]accept it that soon you'll be [D7]drenched to the [G]bone
If your time to [D7]you is worth savin'
Then you [D]better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the [G]times they are a-[D7]chang[G]in?
Come [G]writers and critics who [D7]prophesize with your [G]pen
And keep your eyes [D7]wide the chance won't come again
And [G]don't speak too soon for the [D7]wheel's still in [G]spin
And there's no tellin' [D7]who that it's namin'
For the [D]loser now will be later to win
For the [G]times they are a-[D7]chang[G]in?
Come [G]senators, congressmen [D7]please heed the [G]call
don't stand in the [D7]doorway don't block up the hall
For [G]he that gets hurt will be [D7]he who has [G]stalled
There's a battle out[D7]side and it is ragin'
It'll s[D]oon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the [G]times they are a-[D7]chang[G]in?
Come [G]mothers and fathers [D7]throughout the l[G]and
And don't criti[D7]cize what you can't understand
Your [G]sons and your daughters are [D7]beyond your [G]command
Your old road is [D7]rapidly agin'
Please [D]get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the [G]times they are a-[D7]chang[G]in?
The [G]line it is drawn the [D7]curse it is [G]cast
The slow one [D7]now will later be fast
As the [G]present now will [D7]later be p[G]ast
The order is [D7]rapidly fadin'
And the [D]first one now will later be last
For the [G]times they are a-[D7]chang[G]in?
