D
Where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

                                       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
It’s a hard, and it’s a hard,

           D                G
and 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
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?

                                   A
What did you see, my darling young one?

        G                 D
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves around it

      G                        D
Saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it

G                       D
Saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'

      G                           D
Saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'

G                  D
A white ladder all covered with water

      G                          D
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken

      G                            D
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children

           D                A                D               G
And it's a hard, and 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
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?

                                        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, one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’

      G                           D
Heard ten thousand whispering and nobody listenin

      G                  D
Heard one person starve, 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
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard,

           D           G
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
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?

                                   A
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
Met a young girl whose body was burning

G                 D
A young girl, she gave me a rainbow

G                     D
I met one man who was wounded in love

G                   D
Another man who was wounded with hatred

           D                A                D      G
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, and it's a   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?

                                     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
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, and 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, it’s a hard,

           D              G
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
And it’s    ha ha hard

           D      A    N.C.         G   G/F# G/E   D
And it’s a   hard rain....  a-gonna fall

           D                A
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard,

         D               G
And it’s so hard, oh oh, hard

           D      A    N.C.           G   G/F# G/E   D
And it’s a   hard rain's....  a-gonna fall
