Verse 1:

   G+G       E minorEm     C majorC    G+G
Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
   G+G      A minorAm   C majorC       D MajorD
And admit that the waters around you have grown
   G+G      E minorEm       C majorC        G+G
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
    G+G    A minorAm      D MajorD
If your time to you is worth savin'
     D MajorD      D7D7         D6D6     D MajorD
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,
    G+G      C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
For the times, they are a-changin'

Verse 2:
   G+G      E minorEm        C majorC       G+G
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
  G+G       A minorAm       C majorC      D MajorD
And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
  G+G        E minorEm      C majorC        G+G
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
      G+G     A minorAm      D MajorD
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
     D MajorD    D7D7    D6D6    D MajorD
For the loser now will be later to win
    G+G     C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
For the times they are a-changin'

Verse 3:
   G+G     E minorEm     C majorC        G+G
Come senators, congressmen please heed the call
   G+G      A minorAm       C majorC      D MajorD
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
  G+G      E minorEm      C majorC     G+G
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
     G+G     A minorAm      D MajorD
There's a battle outside and it's ragin'
     D MajorD       D7D7     D6D6     D MajorD
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
    G+G     C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
For the times they are a-changin'

Verse 4:
   G+G      E minorEm   C majorC       G+G
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
  G+G     A minorAm      C majorC     D MajorD
And don't criticize what you can't understand
   G+G       E minorEm       C majorC      G+G
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
   G+G      A minorAm   D MajorD
Your old road is rapidly agin'
     D MajorD       D7D7      D6D6      D MajorD
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand
    G+G     C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
For the times they are a-changin'

Verse 5:
  G+G     E minorEm    C majorC      G+G
The line it is drawn the curse it is cast
  G+G    A minorAm    C majorC    D MajorD
The slow one now will later be fast
    G+G    E minorEm    C majorC    G+G
As the present now will later be past
  G+G    A minorAm   D MajorD
The order is rapidly fadin'
     D MajorD     D7D7   D6D6    D MajorD
And the first one now will later be last
    G+G     C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
For the times they are a-changin
