Oh, where have you been, my blue eyed son?
B F#
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
E B
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
E B
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
E B
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
E B
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
E B
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
B F# B E
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
B F# B E B
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
B E B
Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son?
B F#
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
E B
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
E B
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
E B
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
E B
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin'
E B
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
E B
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
E B
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
B F# B E
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
B F# B E B
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
B E B
And what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
B F#
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
E B
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
E B
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
E B
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin'
E B
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
E B
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
E B
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
E B
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
B F# B E
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
B F# B E B
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
B E B
Oh, who did you meet, my blue eyed son?
B F#
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
E B
I met a young child beside a dead pony
E B
I met a white man who walked a black dog
E B
I met a young woman whose body was burning
E B
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
E B
I met one man who was wounded in love
E B
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
B F# B E
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
B F# B E B
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
B E B
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
B F#
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
E B
I'm a goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a fallin'
E B
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
E B
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
E B
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
E B
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
E B
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
E B
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
E B
Where black is the color, where none is the number
E B
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
E B
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
E B
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
E B
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
B F# B E
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
B F# B E B
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
Enjoy!
