"Words and music Bob Dylan Released on The Times They Are A-Changin' (1964), Greatest Hits (1967) and Biograph (1985), in alternate versions on Bootleg Series 1-3 (1991) and Love and Theft (limited edition, 2001), and live on At Budokan (1978) and Unplugged (1995) Tabbed by Eyolf strem -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chords: G 320022 D2/c x30230 G/b x20030 The Bootleg Series version is the same as below, only played at the piano, and with pianistic instead of guitaristic chords in the descent at the end. The Unplugged version is also the same as below, only with a capo on the 2nd fret. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G Em Come gather 'round people C G Wherever you roam G Em 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' D D2/c Then you better start swimmin' G/b D/a Or you'll sink like a stone G C D G For the times they are a-changin'. Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin'. For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'. Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin'. It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'. Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin'. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin'. And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Budokan version Capo 5th fret (sounding key F major) C Em Come gather 'round people F C Wherever you roam C Em And admit that the waters F G Around you have grown C Em And accept it that soon F C You'll be drenched to the bone.
