Intro
Verse 1
Come
gather 'round
people
Wher
ever you ro
am
And ad
mit that the
waters
A
round you have
grown
And
ac-
cept it that
soon
You'll be
drenched to the bo
ne
If your
time to
you is worth s
avi
n'
Then you
better start
swimmin' or you'll
sink like a
stone
For the
times
they
are a-
ch
an
- gi
n'
Verse 2
Come
writers and
critics
Who
prophesize with your p
en
And
keep your eyes
wide
The chance
won't come a
gain
And
don't speak too
soon
For the
wheel's still in sp
in
And there's
no tellin'
who that it's n
ami
n'
For the l
oser
now will be
later to
win
(F

For the
times
they
are a-

in'
Verse 3
Come
senators,
congressmen
Please heed the ca
ll
Don't
stand in the
doorway
Don't
block up the
hall
(F
or ...)
For
he that gets
hurt
Will be
he who has st
alled
The
battle
outside r
agi
n'
Will
soon shake your
windows and
vibrate your walls
For the
times
they
are a-
ch
an
- g
in'
Verse 4
Come
mothers and
fathers
Throughout the la
nd
And
don't criti
cize
What you
can't underst
and
(
Your ...)
Your
sons and your
daughters
Are be
yond your comma
nd
Your
old road is
rapidly a
gin
'
Please get
out of the
new one if you
can't lend your
han
d (F
or ...)
For the
times
they
are a-
ch
an
- g

Verse 5
The
line it is
drawn
And the
curse it is ca
st
The
slow one
now
Will
later be fa
st
(
As ...)
As the
present
now
Will
later be pa
st
The
order is
rapidly f
adi
n'
And the
first one
now will
later be
last
For the
times they are a-
ch
an
- g
in'
