D
Where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
D A
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
stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
G D
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
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard,
D G
it’s a hard, and it’s a hard
D A G G/F# G/E D
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
D
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
D A
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
G D
I heard the sound of a thunder, that 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 whispering and nobody listenin
G D
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’
G D
the song of a poet who died in the gutter
G D
the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
D A
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard,
D G
it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, hard, hard hard
D A G G/F# G/E D
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
D
What’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
D A
what’ll you do now, my darling young one?
G D
I’m a-goin’ back out ’fore the rain starts a-falling
G D
I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest dark 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
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 it 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 in the ocean until I start sinking
G D
But I’ll know my song well before I start singing
D A
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard,
D G
it’s a hard, and it’s a ha ha ha ha hard
D A G G/F# G/E D
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
D A
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard,
D G
it’s a hard, and it’s so ha so ha hard
D A G G/F# G/E D
And it’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
