For the times, they are a chang - inʼ
F Dm A# F
Come writers and critics who prophecies with your pen

And thereʼs no tellinʼ who that itʼs naminʼ

For the times they are a-changinʼ
F Dm A# F
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
F Gm C
The order is rapidly fadinʼ
C C7 Fmaj7 C
And the first one now will later be last
F A# C F
For the times they are a-changinʼ
