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