The Times They Are a-Changin'

By Bob Dylan

[Verse 1]

G Em C G
Come gather 'round people wherever you roam
G 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
G Am D
If your time to you is worth savin'
D D7 D6 D
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone,
G C D G
For the times, they are a-changin'


[Harmonica]

G Em C G


[Verse 2]

G Em C G
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
G Am C D
And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
G Em C G
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
G Am D
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
D D7 D6 D
For the loser now will be later to win
G C D G
For the times they are a-changin'


[Harmonica]

G Em C G
D C G D


[Verse 3]

G Em C G
Come senators, congressmen please heed the call
G Am C D
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
G Em C G
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
G Am D
There's a battle outside and it's ragin'
D D7 D6 D
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
G C D G
For the times they are a-changin'


[Harmonica]

G D C D G


[Verse 4]

G Em C G
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
G Am C D
And don't criticize what you can't understand
G Em C G
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
G Am D
Your old road is rapidly agin'
D D7 D6 D
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
G C D G
For the times they are a-changin'


[Harmonica]

G Em C G
D C G D
G C D G


[Verse 5]

G Em C G
The line it is drawn the curse it is cast
G Am C D
The slow one now will later be fast
G Em C G
As the present now will later be past
G Am D
The order is rapidly fadin'
D D7 D6 D
And the first one now will later be last
G C D G
For the times they are a-changin'

Banks of Marble

By Pete Seeger

[Verse]
G D7 G
I've traveled 'round this country
C G
From shore to shining shore
D7 G
It really made me wonder
C D G
The things I heard and saw.

[Verse]
G D7 G
I saw the weary farmer
C G
A-plowing sod and loam
D7 G
I heard the auction hammer
C D G
A-knocking down his home

[Chorus]
G
But the banks are made of marble
D G
With a guard at every door
G
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
D G
That the farmer sweated for

[Verse]
G D7 G
I saw the seaman standing
C G
Idly by the shore
D7 G
I heard the bosses saying
C D G
"Got no work for you no more."

[Chorus]
G
But the banks are made of marble
D G
With a guard at every door
G
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
D G
That the seamen sweated for

[Verse]
G D7 G
I saw the weary miner
C G
Scrubbing coal dust from his back
D7 G
I heard his children crying
C D G
Got no coal to heat the shack

[Chorus]
G
But the banks are made of marble
D G
With a guard at every door
G
And the vaults are stuffed with silver
D G
That the miner sweated for

[Verse]
G D7 G
I've seen my brothers working
C G
Throughout this mighty land
D7 G
I prayed we'd get together
C D G
And together make a stand

[Chorus]
G
Then we might own those banks of marble
D G
With a guard at every door
G
And we'd share those vaults of silver
D G
That we have sweated for


The day the nazi died

They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere

They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
D G D A
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
D G A D
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere


[Verse 1]
D G
We're taught that after the war
D A
the nazis vanished without a trace
D G
but batallions of fascists
A D
still dream of a master race
D G
The history books they tell of
D A
their defeat in '45
D G
why did they all come out of the woodwork
A D
on the day the nazi died


[Verse 2]
D G
They say the prisoner of Spandau
D A
was a symbol of defeat
D G
whilst Hess remained imprisoned
A D
then the fascists they were beat
D G D A
so the promise of an aryan world would never materialize
D G
so why did they all come out of the woodwork
A D
on the day the nazi died


[Refrain]
D G D A
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
D G A D
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
D G D A
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere
D G A D
They're here, and they're there, and they're everywhere


[Verse 3]
D G
the world is riddled with maggots
D A
the maggots are getting fat
D G
they're making a tasty meal
A D
of all the bosses and bureacrats
D G
they're taking over the board rooms
D A
and they're fat and full of pride
D G
and they all came out of the woodwork
A D
on the day the nazi died


[Verse 4]
D G
so if you meet with these historians
D A
I'll tell you what to say
D G A D
tell them that the nazis never really went away
D G
they're out there burning houses down
D A
and peddling racist lies
D G
and we'll never rest again
A D
until every nazi dies

I don't want your millions mister

By Pete Seeger

[Verse]
D
I don't want your millions, Mister

I don't want your diamond ring
G D
All I want is the right to live, Mister
A D
Give me back my job again

[Verse 2]
D
Now, I don't want your Rolls-Royce, Mister
G D
I don't want your pleasure yacht
G D
All I want's just food for my babies
A D
Give to me my old job back

[Verse 3]
D
We worked to build this country, Mister
D G
While you enjoyed a life of ease
D G
You've stolen all that we built, Mister
A D
Now our children starve and freeze

[Chorus]

So, I don't want your millions, Mister
G D
I don't want your diamond ring
G D
All I want is the right to live, Mister
A D
Give me back my job again

[Verse 4]
D
Think me dumb if you wish, Mister
G D
Call me green, or blue, or red
G D
This one thing I sure know, Mister
A D
My hungry babies must be fed

[Verse 5]
D
Take the two old parties, Mister
D G
No difference in them I can see
D G
But with a Farmer-Labor Party
A D
We could set the people free

[Chorus]
D
So, I don't want your millions, Mister
G D
I don't want your diamond ring
G D
All I want is the right to live, Mister
A D
Give me back my job again

Solidarity Forever

By Pete Seeger

[Verse 1]
G
When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run,
C G D7
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun;
G B7 Em
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one,
Am D7 G
But the union makes us strong.

[Chorus]
G
Solidarity forever,
C G
Solidarity forever,
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever,
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong.

[Verse 2]
G
Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite,
C G D7
Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might?
G B7 Em
Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight?
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong.

[Chorus]
G
Solidarity forever,
C G
Solidarity forever,
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever,
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong.

[Verse 3]
G
It is we who plowed the prairies; built the cities where they trade;
C G D7
Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid;
G B7 Em
Now we stand outcast and starving midst the wonders we have made;
Am D7 G
But the union makes us strong.

[Chorus]
G
Solidarity forever,
C G
Solidarity forever,
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever,
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong.

[Verse 4]
G
All the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone.
C G D7
We have laid the wide foundations; built it skyward stone by stone.
G B7 Em
It is ours, not to slave in, but to master and to own.
Am D7 G
While the union makes us strong.

[Chorus]
G
Solidarity forever,
C G
Solidarity forever,
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever,
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong.

[Verse 5]
G
They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
C G D7
But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn.
G B7 Em
We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn
Am D7 G
That the union makes us strong.

[Chorus]
G
Solidarity forever,
C G
Solidarity forever,
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever,
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong.

[Verse 6]
G
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
C G D7
Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold.
G B7 Em
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong.

[Chorus]
G
Solidarity forever,
C G
Solidarity forever,
G B7 Em
Solidarity forever,
Am D7 G
For the union makes us strong.

Big Rock Candy Mountain

By Harry McClintock

[Intro]
C G C

[Verse 1]
C G C
One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning
C G C
Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said, "Boys, I'm not turning"
F C F C F C G
I'm headed for a land that's far away besides the crystal fountains
C G C
So come with me, we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Verse 2]
C F C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains there's a land that's fair and bright,
F C F G
where the handouts grow on bushes and you sleep out every night
C F C
Where the boxcars all are empty and the sun shines every day
F C F C F C
on the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees, the lemonade springs where the
F C G C
bluebird sings in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Verse 3]
C F C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains all the cops have wooden legs,
F C F G
and the bulldogs all have rubber teeth and the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
C F C
The farmers' trees are full of fruit and the barns are full of hay
F C F C F C
Oh, I'm bound to go where there ain't no snow, where the rain don't fall,
F C G C
the wind don't blow in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Verse 4]
C F C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains you never change your socks,
F C F G
and the little streams of alcohol come a trickling down the rocks
C F C
The brakemen have to tip their hats and the railroad bulls are blind
F C F C F C
There's a lake of stew and of whiskey too, you can paddle all around 'em in a
F C G C
big canoe in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Verse 5]
C F C
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains the jails are made of tin,
F C F G
and you can walk right out again as soon as you are in
C F C
There ain't no short-handled shovels, no axes, saws or picks
F C F C
I'm a gonna stay where you sleep all day, where they
F C F C
hung the jerk that invented work
G C
in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Instrumental]
C F C
F C F C

[Outro]
F C F C G C
I'll see you all this comin' fall in the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Fashioned in the Clay

By Elmer Beal

[Verse 1]
G D C G
When it seems that everyone is worried for themselves
C G D
Buying plans for fallout shelters, stocking up the shelves
G D C G
Living in the fast lane, and staying high at night
C G D G
Thinking that by accident we'll blow out all the lights

[Verse 2]
G D C G
Look, now, at the potter whose wheel is spinning 'round
C G D
Shaping with her hands the past and future from the ground
G D C G
Cups that will be filled and drunk, so warm in wintertime
C G D G
Plates and bowls for dinner served with candlelight and wine

[Chorus]
G D
She believes, she believes
Em C D
By her work it's so easy to see
Em C G C
That the future is more than the following day
G D G
It's fashioned securely in the clay

[Verse 3]
G D C G
Look now at the farmer working in his field
C G D
Hoping that the sun and rain will guarantee his yield
G D C G
Like a seed, the wind has blown to unfamiliar ground
C G D G
He waits to see what fate will bring as each year rolls around

[Chorus]
G D
He believes, he believes
Em C D
By his work it's so easy to see
Em C G C
That the future is more than the following day
G D G
It's fashioned securely in the clay

[Verse 4]
G D C G
Elsewhere, there are lovers in a warm embrace
C G D
Happy with their plans to carry on the human race
G D C G
Now the baby cries and wonders if it's all alone
C G D G
Softly voices reassure there'll always be a home

[Chorus]
G D
They believe, they believe
Em C D
By their work it's so easy to see
Em C G C
That the future is more than the following day
G D G
It's fashioned securely in the clay

[Verse 5]
G D C G
So, if you had been worried that tomorrow wouldn't come
C G D
Look to see the ones whose lives are following the sun
G D C G
And the hope that springs so clearly from the work they do
C G D G
Will spread a little further when it finds a place in you

[Chorus]
G D
We believe, we believe
Em C D
By our work it's so easy to see
Em C G C
That the future is more than the following day
G D G
It's fashioned securely in the clay
Em C G C
That the future is more than the following day
G D G
It's fashioned securely in the clay


Bound & Determined

By Nick Shoulders

I am so weary

I’m as glum as I can be

All y’all have lost it

I meet your madness with pity
G G7
I Don’t blame you for being scared
G
But its the wrong direction that your teeth are bared

C
We’re fully busted

We know the ship has run aground

The things you trusted

They burned the farm and moved to town
G G7
And though I might eat all of my steaks rare
G
I never sold my soul to a billionaire


[Chorus]
C G C
I keep the door
C G C C7
Open for you
F
Bound and determined, oh
C G C
You can’t lie to me
G
Bound and determined, oh
C G7
To ruin everything


[Verse 2]
C
You say you’re country

You lay a claim unto the soil
C
If you were country

You’d save your land from being spoiled
G
Do you drink water?
G7
Do you breathe air?
G
I think if you were really country you would fucking care

C
I’d be just like you

If I were fed the things you’re fed

I’m just as frightened
C
We’re off the rails

We’re in the red
G
You’ve got opinions
G7
But your proof, it lacks
G
And only one of us is dealing in alternative facts


[Chorus]
C G C
I keep the door
C G C C7
Open for you
F
Bound and determined, oh
C G C
You can’t lie to me
G
Bound and determined, oh
C G7
To ruin everything



[Verse 3]
C
Do you love freedom?

Or security in dreams

Is life worth living if there’s lead in the last stream?
G G7
To a glutton what’s allegiance worth
G
If the meek like me are to inherit the earth?

C
It's not oppression

To ask for basic decency
C
You’ll learn your lesson

While you’re repeating history
G
And if this song gets me shot

At least my voice, it wasn’t silent
C
You’ll forget me not


[Chorus]
C G C
I keep the door
C G C C7
Open for you
F
Bound and determined, oh
C G C
You can’t lie to me
G
Bound and determined, oh
C
To ruin everything
G C
To ruin everything
G C
To ruin everything

N.C.
You'll ruin everything
