The Times They Are A - Changin

Key: GMedium

Written by Bob Dylan. This is former legend, Nina Simone's version.

GCome gather 'rEmound people

WherCever you Groam

And adGmit that the Amwaters

ACround you have Dgrown

And acGcept it that Emsoon

You'll be Cdrenched to the Gbone.

If your Gtime to Amyou

Is worth Dsavin'

Then you Gbetter start Dswimmin'

Or you'll Csink like a Dstone

For the Gtimes Cthey are a-DchanGgin'.

GEm

Come writers and critics

Who prophesize with your pen

GAnd keep yourAm eyes wide

The chance won't come again

GEm

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

GAm

And there's no tellin' who

That it's namin'.

For the loser now

Will be later to win

GFor thCe times theDy arGe a-changin'.

GEm

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

GDon't stand iAmn the doorway

Don't block up the hall

GEm

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

GAm

There's a battle outside

And it is ragin'.

It'll soon shake your windows

And rattle your walls

GFor thCe times theDy arGe a-changin'.

GEm

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

GAnd don't criAmticize

What you can't understand

GEm

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

GAm

Your old road is

Rapidly agin'.

Please get out of the new one

If you can't lend your hand

GFor thCe times theDy arGe a-changin'.

GEm

The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast

GThe slow one Amnow

Will later be fast

GEm

As the present now

Will later be past

GAm

The order is

Rapidly fadin'.

And the first one now

Will later be last

GFor thCe times theDy arGe a-changin'.

Enjoy!

Stars

Key: DHard

F#m

Bm7

Em7

DStars, they come and go.F#m

They come fast, they come slow.F#m

They go like the Cmlast light of the sB7un,

All in a blEmaze.

And all you see is Aglory.

But it gets lDonely there,

When there's Cno one there to sGbhare.

We can sEmhake it away,

If you'll hear a Astory.

People lustD for fame,A

Like athletesD7 in a gameD.

Bm7We break our collarbones,

And come up sEm7winging.

Some of us are A7crowned,

Some of us are dAowned

Some are lEmost and never A7found.

But most have seen it Dall.

F#mThey live their Lives,

In sad cafDes and music hEm7alls

They always have a sAtory

Some make it when they Dare young,

BefF#more the world has done its Bmdirty job.

GAnd later on Em7someone will say,

"You've had your dayA7,

now you must makAe way."

But they'll never know the Dpain

Of living with a F#mname you never owned.

Em7The years of forgA7etting,

What you kAnow too well-

That you who gave the cDrown,

Have been let F#mdown.

You try to mBm7ake amenEm7ds

Without A7defending

Perhaps pDretending

AYou never saw the eyes

Of young men at twenty-B7five,

who followed as you walked,

Asked for autogrEm7aphs,

Kissed you on the cheek.

And you never could believeA,

They really loved you.

Some make it when they're oDld

F#mPerhaps they have a soB7ul they're unafraid to bEm7are.

Perhaps there's nothing thA7ere.

ABut anyway that isn't what i meant to sDay

I'm meant to tell about a story

Cmsince we all have F#mstories

B7I can't remember it anyways

Em7So I'll tell about the mood A7in the in United States today

Permeating even Switzerland

It GoesD ...

D7But I continue anyway til I get it togetheGr Em

Em7Some women have a body,

A7Men will want to see

ASo they put it on display,

Some people play a fine Dguitar.

AI could listen to them play all day. C

B7But anyway,

EmI'm trying to tell my stAory.

Janis DIan told it very well,

BmJanis Joplin told it even better,Em

Billy HolidaEm7y even told it even Abetter.

DWe always,

Awe always,

Bm7we always have a Em7story.

and the latest story that I know is the one that i'm supposed to go out with

and the Emlatest story that I know is the one that i'm supposed to go out with

and the A7latest story that I know is the one that i'm supposed to go out with

Alone Again (naturally)

Key: GHard

Bm7

Am7

F#7

In a little while frG6om now. If I'm not feBm7eling any less sour

I Dmpromise myself to treat myself. And visit a nearby tower E7

And Am7climbing to the top. To throw myself off

In an Geffort to make it G5clear to who-ever what it's like wG6hen you're shattered F#7

Left Bm7standing in the lurch. At a church withDm people saying E7

"My Am7God, that's tough, she stood him up. No point in us remaining

We may as well gG6o home". As I did on Bm7my own. AlonE7e again, natuAm7rally D7 G6

To think that only yG6esterday. I was cheerfBm7ul bright and gay

LoDmoking forward - who wouldn't do?. The role I was about to play E7

And Am7as if to knock me down. Reality came around

And wiGthout so much as aG5 mere touch. Threw me into little G6pieces F#7

LeaviBm7ng me to doubt. Talk about God in his mDmercy E7

Who Am7if He really does exist. Why did He desert me

In my hour of nG6eed. I trBm7uly am indeeE7d. AloneAm7 again, natD7urally G

It sBbeems to me that there are more hearts brF7oken in the world

Than can be mended. D7 Left unatBbtended

What do we do? What do we do?Am7 D7

Looking back over thG6e years. And whatever Bm7else appears

I Dmremember I cried when my father died. Never wishing to hide my tears E7

And Am7at sixty-five years old. My mother, God rest her soul

CouldnG't understand why G5the only man. She had ever loved hG6ad been taken F#7

LeaviBm7ng her to start. With a heart so badly Dmbroken. Despite enE7couragement from me

No wAm7ords were ever spoken. When she passed away. I cried and cried all day

Am7Alone agaD7in naturBm7ally. E7 Am7 Alone D7again D7 natGurally
