Intro:
[Strum D for 6 bars]

     D             Bm
Come gather 'round people
    G        D
Wherever you roam
      D            Em
And admit that the waters
 G              A
Around you have grown
      D            Bm
And accept it that soon
          G               D
You'll be drenched to the bone.
        D       Em
If your time to you
         A
Is worth savin'
         A            A/G
Then you better start swimmin'
          A/F#        A
Or you'll sink like a stone
        D     G          A    D
For the times they are a-changin'.


D      G      A      D      D      D      D
[---------Harmonica---------]


     D           Bm
Come writers and critics

          G              D
Who prophesize with your pen

    D              Em
And keep your eyes wide

           G          A
The chance won't come again

          D         Bm
And don't speak too soon

        G                D
For the wheel's still in spin

            D          Em
And there's no tellin' who

          A
That it's namin'.

        A     A/G
For the loser now

        A/F#     A
Will be later to win

        D          G     A    D
For the times they are a-changin'.


D      G      A      D      D
[Harmonica Interlude]

A      A/G    A/F#   A      A      A      A
[Harmonica Interlude]


     D         Bm
Come senators, congressmen

       G        D
Please heed the call

      D            Em
Don't stand in the doorway

      G            A
Don't block up the hall

    D            Bm
For he that gets hurt

        G          D
Will be he who has stalled

          D         Em
There's a battle outside

          A
And it is ragin'.

           A          A/G
It'll soon shake your windows

    A/F#        A
And rattle your walls

        D          G     A    D
For the times they are a-changin'.


D      G      A      D      D      D      D

     D           Bm
Come mothers and fathers

G              D
Throughout the land

    D          Em
And don't criticize

         G          A
What you can't understand

     D             Bm
Your sons and your daughters

       G           D
Are beyond your command

     D       
Your old road is

Em        A
Rapidly agin'.

       A              A/G
Please get out of the new one

       A/F#            A
If you can't lend your hand

        D          G     A    D
For the times they are a-changin'.


D      G      A      D      D

    D          Bm
The line it is drawn

    G           D
The curse it is cast

    D        Em
The slow one now

     G        A
Will later be fast

       D       Bm
As the present now

     G        D
Will later be past

    D
The order is

Em      A
Rapidly fadin'.

        A         A/G
And the first one now

     A/F#     A
Will later be last

        D          G     A    D
For the times they are a-changin'.
