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