Verse
A D E A
How many roads must a man walk down,
D A
before you call him a man

How many seas must a white dove sail,
D E
before she sleeps in the sand
A D E A
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly,
D A
before they're forever banned
[Chorus]
D E A D
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
E A
The answer is blowin' in the wind
[Harmonica Refrain]

Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist,
D A
before it is washed to the sea
A D E A
Yes, and how many years can some people exist,
D E
before they're allowed to be free
A D E A
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head,
D A
and pretend that he just doesn't see
[Chorus]

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
E A
The answer is blowin' in the wind

A D E A
Yes, and how many times must a man look up,
D A
before he can see the sky
A D E A
Yes, and how many ears must one man have,
D E
before he can hear people cry
A D E A
Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows,
D A
that too many people have died
[Chorus]

The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
E A
The answer is blowin' in the wind
