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

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

There's no tellin who that it's name'n

Come senators congressmen please heed the call

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

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land

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

For the times they are a changin
