[Verse 1]

     G             Em         C        G
Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
                   Am            C             D
And admit that our country don't feel like our home
    G                   Em          C            G
And that silence speaks louder than those who condone
              Am           D
If a tweet to you is worth favin'
                  Cadd9      Em7           D
Then lift up your voices and put down your phones
        G           C     D   G
For the times, they are a-changin'

G  Em  C  G

[Verse 2]
     G         Em      C           G
Come women and men who hashtag "Me Too"
                      Am          C       D
And believe me when I say that we believe you
    G           Em      C                 G
For weak is the man who calls truth "fake news"
               Am            D
Time’s up, our silence we’re breakin'
                       Cadd9      Em7          D
And even though Mel Gibson was in Daddy's Home 2
          G          C     D   G
Well, the times they are a-changin'

[Verse 3]
     G             Em        C              G
Come athletes with platforms throughout the land
                Am       C        D
Who by taking a knee are taking a stand
    G                Em       C              G
And before you shout out that they should be banned
          Am            D
Listen to what they are sayin'
                     Cadd9     Em7              D
Perhaps they'd stand up if you reached out your hand
          G          C     D   G
Well, the times they are a-changin'

[Verse 4]
     G            Em          C          G
Come journalists, writers who report the facts
                  Am          C         D
And brandish your pen to fend off his attacks
     G            Em       C              G
Look past what he says and look at how he acts

             Am      D
The fire and fury is ragin'
                  Cadd9          Em7             D
For his words can hurt, but your words can fight back
         G           C        D  G
New York Times, they aren't a-failin'

[Verse 5]
     G           Em         C        G
Come leaders who bully like Internet trolls
                     Am          C                 D
We'll curse you with four-letter words 'love' and 'hope'
    G          Em        C           G
For we will go high even when you go low
             Am   D
The order is re-arrangin'
                 Cadd9      Em7         D
For you have the power, but we have the vote
    G          C     D   G
The times they are a-changin'
