Version 1
The Times They Are A Changin - The Byrds
written by Bob Dylan
[Verse 1]
G C G
Come gather round people where ever you roam
D
Admit that the waters around you have grown
G C G
Accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
D
If your time to you is worth savin?
[Chorus]
G C G C
Then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
G D C G
For the times they are a changin
[Verse 2]
G C G
Come writers and critics who Prophesize with your pen
D
Keep your eyes open the chance won't come again
G C G
And watch what you say for the wheel's still in spin
D
There's no tellin who that it's name'n
[Chorus]
G C G C
For the loser now will be later to win
G D C G
For the times they are a changin
[Verse 3]
G C G
Come senators congressmen please heed the call
D
Don't stand in the doorway don't block up the hall
G C G
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
D
There's a battle outside and it's ragin
[Chorus]
G C G C
Will rattle our windows and shake down your walls
G D C G
For the times they are a changin
[Verse 4
G C G
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
D
And don't criticize what you can't understand
G C G
Your sons and daughters are beyond your command
D
Your old road is rapidly age'n
[Chorus]
G C G C
Get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
G D C
For the times they are a changin
[Outro]
G D G
