[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Em C G
Come gather 'round people from far and wide
Am C D
Keep for yourselves while the rivers run dry
G Em C G
And you find that your tears are getting harder to cry
Am D
There's a thirst in your soul that's invading
G C Em D
Start digging your wells and fall dead in your tracks
G C D G
'Cause the times, they are a changin' back
Em C G
[Verse 2]
G Em C G
Here come bards and bloggers who are losing your heads
Am C D
Only write by repeating what others have said
G Em C G
Now the ones and the zeros, they don't know how to lie
Am D
If it's written then it must be a fact
G C Em D
Now winners and losers are equally lost,
G C D G
And the times they are a changin' back
Em C G
D C Em D
[Verse 3]
G Em C G
Come presidents blue, and congressmen red
Am C D
We do what's been undone and undo it again
G Em C G
As we carry the load for the one percent
Am D
who bought you your seat at the table
G C Em D
Well the wine pours red and the hearts turn black
G C D G
And the times they are a changin' back
Em C D
G D C Em
[Verse 4]
G Em C G
Come all you media, women and men
Am C D
twenty-four hours a day, scare the shit out of them
G Em C G
If fear is your business then business is grand
Am D
There's always someone somewhere dying
G C Em D
And I know if it gets slow you'll take up the slack
G C D G
Cause the times they are a changin' back
Em C G
G D Em D
G Em C G
[Vere 5]
G Em C G
Come pass the baton in the relay of time
Am C D
Where death is the only true finish line
G Em C G
And we look to the past or the future is blind
Am D
Are we sure that we're equal to the task
G C Em D
Cause I can't help but read the writing on the wall
G C D G
It reads the times they are a changin' back
Em C G
D C Em D
G C D C
[Outro]
G
