Blowin' in the Wind - written by Big Bad Bobby Dylan This version was performed by Joan Baez at Woodstock '69 (I use a capo on the second fret). [Verse]
 G        C           G         Em
How many roads must a man walk down

 G          C          D
Before you call him a man?

 G        C           G         Em
How many seas must a white dove sail

 G          C             D
Before she sleeps in the sand?

 G        C             G            Em
How many times must the cannonballs fly

 G             C         D
Before they're forever banned?
[Chorus]
 C             D          G/F#           Em
The answer my friends is blowing in the wind

 C             D             G
The answer is blowing in the wind
[Verse]
 G         C           G        Em
How many years can a mountain exist

 G            C            D
Before it's washed to the sea?

 G         C               G      Em
How many years must some people exist

 G               C             D
Before they're allowed to be free?

     G         C          G            Em
And how many times can a man turn his head

       G              C           D
And pretend that he just doesn't see? (the answer)
[Chorus]
 C             D          G/F#          Em
The answer my friends is blowing in the wind

 C             D              G
The answer is blowing in the wind
[Verse]
 G         C          G       Em
How many times can a man look up

 G         C        D
Before he sees the sky?

 G        C         G       Em
How many ears must one man have

 G             C           D
Before he can hear people cry?

     G         C             G            Em
And how many deaths will it take 'til he knows

      G         C           D
That too many people have died?
[Chorus]
 C             D          G/F#           Em
The answer my friends is blowing in the wind

 C             D              Em 
The answer is blowing in the wind

 C               D            G/F#          Em
Oh the answer my friends is blowing in the wind

 C             D              C       G  C  G (quick-change ending)
The answer is blowing in the wind.............
