D G D Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? D | A | Asus4 | A | And 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 I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans G D Been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard D A D G And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard D A | D | % | % | % | It's a hard rain gonna fall

D G D Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? D A And 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 ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken D A D G And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard D A | D | % | % | % | And it's a hard rain's gonna fall
[Verse 3]
D G D What did you hear, my blue-eyed son? D | A | Asus4 | 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 I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin' G D Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin' G D I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin' G D Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter D A D G And it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard D A | D | Dsus4 | D | Dsus4 D Dsus2 | D | % | It's a hard rain gonna fall

D G D And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? D | A | Asus4 | A | Asus4 | And what'll you do now, my darling young one? G D I'm goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin' 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 the pellets of poison are flooding their waters G D Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison G D | D Dsus2 | D | % | The executioner's face is always well hidden G D Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten G D | D Dsus2 | D | Where black is the color and none is the number G D And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it G D | D Dsus2 | D | % | Reflect 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 G And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard D A | D | % | It's a hard rain gonna fall
