Come gather ʼround people wherever you roam

And admit that the waters around you have grown

And accept it that soon youʼll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth savinʼ

Then you better start swimminʼ or youʼll sink like a stone,

For the times, they are a chang - inʼ

Come writers and critics who prophecies with your pen
G Em C D
And keep your eyes wide the chance wonʼt come again

And donʼt speak too soon for the wheelʼs still in spin
G Am D
And thereʼs no tellinʼ who that itʼs naminʼ

For the loser now will be later to win

Itʼll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
G C D G
For the times they are a-changinʼ
G Em C G
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 fadinʼ
D D7 Gmaj7 D
And the first one now will later be last
G C D G
For the times they are a-changinʼ
