[Verse 1]
B F#
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
C#
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
B C# F#
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
B C# F#
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
B C# F#
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
B C# F#
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
B C# F#
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
C# F# B
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard and it's a hard
F# C# F#
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
[Verse]
B F#
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
C#
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
B C# F#
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
B C# F#
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
B C# F#
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
B C# F#
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
B C# F#
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
B C# F#
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
B C# F#
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
C# F# B
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard and it's a hard
F# C# F#
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
[Verse]
B F#
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
C#
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
B C# F#
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
B C# F#
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
B C# F#
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin'
B C# F#
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
B C# F#
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
B C# F#
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
B C# F#
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
C# F# B
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard and it's a hard
F# C# F#
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
[Verse]
B F#
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
C#
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
B C# F#
I met a young child beside a dead pony
B C# F#
I met a white man who walked a black dog
B C# F#
I met a young woman whose body was burning
B C# F#
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
B C# F#
I met one man who was wounded in love
B C# F#
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
C# F# B
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard and it's a hard
F# C# F#
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
[Verse]
B F#
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
C#
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
B C# F#
I'm a goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
B C# F#
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
B C# F#
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
B C# F#
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
B C# F#
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
B C# F#
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
B C# F#
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
B C# F#
Where black is the colour, where none is the number
B C# F#
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
B C# F#
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
B C# F#
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
B C# F#
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
C# F# B
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard and it's a hard
F# C# F#
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
