G

[Verse 1]
                            C         G
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
                                          D
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
     C                       D            G
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
     C                          D           G
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
     C                        D         G
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
          C                 D          G
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
          C                         D          G
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
                        D            G               C
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard and it's a hard
           G          D        G
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall

[Verse]
                         C         G
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
                                       D
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
        C                      D           G
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
        C                        D      G
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
        C                 D               G
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
        C                           D         G
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
        C                D            G
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
      C                          D                G
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
      C                            D              G
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
                        D            G               C
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard and it's a hard
           G          D        G
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall

[Verse]
                          C         G
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
                                        D
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
            C                      D            G
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
          C                         D               G
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
      C                          D            G
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin'
      C                           D      G
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
      C                          D           G
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
          C                  D           G
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
          C                    D            G
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
                        D            G               C
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard and it's a hard
           G          D        G
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall

[Verse]
                         C         G
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
                                   D
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
  C                   D           G
I met a young child beside a dead pony
  C                   D              G
I met a white man who walked a black dog
  C                       D        G
I met a young woman whose body was burning
  C                     D         G
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
  C                   D          G
I met one man who was wounded in love
  C                       D            G
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
                        D            G               C
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard and it's a hard
           G          D        G
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall

[Verse]
                           C         G
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
                                         D
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
      C                        D             G
I'm a goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
     C                         D             G
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
          C                         D             G
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
          C                     D              G
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
          C                            D          G
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
          C                     D           G
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
      C                     D            G
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
      C                          D           G
Where black is the colour, where none is the number
         C                        D            G
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
      C                             D             G
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
          C                    D           G
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
         C                   D            G
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
                        D            G               C
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard and it's a hard
           G          D        G
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
