Written by Bob Dylan. Bruce Springsteen played it live in 1997.






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



G             Em

Come writers and critics
C        G

Who prophesize with your pen
G            Am
And keep your eyes wide
C              D

The chance won't come again
G            Em

And don't speak too soon
C               G

For the wheel's still in spin
G       Am

And there's no tellin' who
D

That it's namin'.
G            D

For the loser now
C           D

Will be later to win
G     C          D   G
For the times they are a-changin'.



G             Em

Come senators, congressmen
C        G

Please heed the call
G            Am
Don't stand in the doorway
C              D
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bruce_springsteen/the_times_they_are_a_changin_crd.html ]
Don't block up the hall
G            Em

For he that gets hurt
C               G

Will be he who has stalled
G       Am

There's a battle outside
D

And it is ragin'.
G            D

It'll soon shake your windows
C           D

And rattle your walls
G     C          D   G
For the times they are a-changin'.




G             Em

Come mothers and fathers
C        G

Throughout the land
G            Am
And don't criticize
C              D

What you can't understand
G            Em

Your sons and your daughters
C               G

Are beyond your command
G       Am

Your old road is
D

Rapidly agin'.
G            D

Please get out of the new one
C           D

If you can't lend your hand
G     C          D   G
For the times they are a-changin'.



G             Em

The line it is drawn
C        G

The curse it is cast
G            Am
The slow one now
C              D

Will later be fast
G            Em

As the present now
C               G

Will later be past
G       Am

The order is
D

Rapidly fadin'.
G            D

And the first one now
C           D

Will later be last
G     C          D   G
For the times they are a-changin'.



Enjoy!
