The times, they are changin’
Bob Dylan
G Em C G
Come gather `round people where ever you roam
Am C D
And admit that the waters around you have grown
G Em C G
And accept it that soon you`ll be drenched to the bone
Am D
If your time to you is worth savin`
D7 Gmaj7 D
Then you better start swimmin` or you`ll sink like a stone
G C- D- G
For the times they are a-changin`
Come writers an critics who prophecies with your pen
And keep your eyes wide the chance won`t come again.
And don`t speak too soon for the weel`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 beed 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`s ragin`
It`ll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin` G/ Em/ D/ D7/ Gmaj7/ D
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
and don`t critizise what you can`t understand.
Your sons and your daughters are beyound your command
your old road is rapidly agin´
Please get out of the new onde if you can`t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin` G/ Em/ D/ D7/ Gmaj7/ D
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 ist rapidly fadin`
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin`
Like a rolling stone
G Am7
Once upon a time, you dressed so fine,
Em7 C D D
Threw the bums a dime, in your prime, didn't you?
G Am7 Em7
People call, say "Beware, doll, you're bound to fall."
C D D
You thought they were all kiddin' you.
C D C D
You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin' out,
C Em7 Am7 G C Em7 Am7 G
But now you don't talk so loud, Now you don't seem so proud,
Am D D
About havin' to be scroungin' your next meal.
D G C D D G C D
How does it feel? How does it feel.
D G C D D G C D
To be on your own. With no direction home.
D G C D D G C D
A complete unknown. Like a rollin' stone.
You've gone to the finest schools, alright, Miss Lovely,
But you know you only used to get juiced in it.
You never had to live out on the street,
But now you're gonna have to get used to it.
You used to ride on the chrome horse with your diplomat
Who carried on his shoulders a Siamese cat.
Ain't it hard when you discover that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal.
You never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you.
Never understood that it ain't no good.
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you.
You said you'd never compromise
With the Mystery Tramp but now you realize
He's not selling any alibis
As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes
And he says, "Do you want to make a deal?"
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're all drinkin', thinkin' that they've got it made.
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts,
You'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe.
You used to be so amused
At Napolean in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now he calls you you can't refuse
When you got nothin' you got nothin' to lose
Your invisible now you've got no secrets to conceal.
