(ver. 1)
Peter Yarrow
Based on Live Concert version recorded on October 12, 2012 at the Performing Arts Center 
in New Jersey

Intro: G(for two measures) Em D

G           Em            C          G
Come gather around people where ever you roam

G              Am         C          D
and admit that the waters around you have grown

G          Em            C             G
and except that too soon you'll be the drenched to the bone

G             Am        D
and your time to you is worth saving

D              D7             G           D
and you better start swimming or you will sink like a stone

G             C        D     G
for the times they are a changing


G            Em          C            G
come writers and critics who prophesy with your pen

G             Am        C               D
and keep your eyes wide with the chance won't come again

G         Em             C              G
and don't speak too soon for the wheels still in spin

G          Am          D
there's no telling who that is naming

D       D7        G       D
for the loser now will be later to win

G             C        D     G
for the times they are a changing


G             Em          C           G
Come senators congressman please head the hall

G           Am             C          D
don't stand in the doorway don't lock up the hall

G      Em        C          G
for he gets hurt for he who has stalled

G                Am          D
There's a battle outside and it's raging

D            D7                 G          D
it will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

G             C        D     G
for the times they are a changing


G            Em          C          G
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land

G         Am        C        D
and don't criticize what you can't understand

G             Em             C      G
your sons and your daughters beyond your command

G            Am         D
the old road is rapidly aging

D              D7        G         D
please get out a new one and can't lend your hand

G             C        D     G
for the times they are a changing


G        Em       C         G
The line is drawn the curse is cast

G        Am      C          D
the slow one now will later be fast

G      Em          C          G
as the present now will later be past

G             Am         D
and the order is rapidly fading

D            D7      G          D
as the first one now will later be last

G             C        D     G
for the times they are a changing
