Share The Bob Dylan, The Times They Are A-Changin' Chords:
Did You Know? Bob Dylan wrote this song as an attempt to create an anthem of change: "This was definitely a song with a purpose. It was influenced of course by the Irish and Scottish ballads ...'Come All Ye Bold Highway Men', 'Come All Ye Tender Hearted Maidens'. I wanted to write a big song, with short concise verses that piled up on each other in a hypnotic way. The civil rights movement and the folk music movement were pretty close for a while and allied together at that time."
