Verse 1
Oh, (D major) where have you been,
my (G major) blue-eyed son (D major)
And where have you been,
my darling young (A major) one
I've (G major) stumbled on the side
of twelve (A major) misty mountains (D major)
I've (G major) walked and I've crawled
on (A major) six crooked highways (D major)
I've (G major) stepped in the middle
of (A major) seven sad forests (D major)
I've (G major) been out in front
of a (A major) dozen dead oceans (D major)
I've been (G major) ten thousand miles
in the (A major) mouth of a (D major) graveyard
And it's a hard, and it's a (A major) hard,
it's a (D major) hard, and it's a (G major) hard
It's a (D major) hard rain's (A major) a-gonna (D major) fall (G major) (D major)

Verse 2
Oh, (D major) what did you see,
my (G major) blue-eyed (D major) son
And what did you see,
my darling young (A major) one
I saw a (G major) newborn baby
with wild (A major) wolves all a (D major) round it
I saw a (G major) highway of diamonds with
(A major) nobody on (D major) it
I (G major) saw a black branch
with (A major) blood that kept drippin' (D major)
I saw a (G major) room full of men
with their hammers (A major) a- bleedin' (D major)
I (G major) saw a white ladder all (A major) covered with water (D major)
I saw (G major) ten thousand talkers
whose tongues (A major) were all broken (D major)
I saw (G major) guns and sharp swords
in the hands (A major) of young children (D major)
And it's a hard, and it's a (A major) hard,
it's a (D major) hard, it's a (G major) hard
It's a (D major) hard rain's (A major) a-gonna fall (D major) (G major) (D major)
Verse 3
And (D major) what did you hear,
my (G major) blue-eyed (D major) son?
And what did you hear,
my darling young (A major) one?
I heard the (G major) sound of a thunder
that roared (A major) out a (D major) warnin'
I heard the (G major) roar of a wave
that could drown (A major) the whole (D major) world
I heard (G major) one hundred drummers
whose hands (A major) were a-blaz (D major) in'
I heard ten (G major) thousand whisperin' and
(A major) nobody listen (D major) in'
I heard (G major) one person starve,
I heard many (A major) people laugh (D major) in'
I heard the (G major) song of a poet
who died (A major) in the (D major) gutter
I heard the (G major) sound of a clown
who cried (A major) in the alley (D major)
And it's a hard, and it's a (A major) hard,
it's a (D major) hard, it's a (G major) hard
It's a (D major) hard rain's (A major) a-gonna (D major) fall (G major) (D major)
Verse 4
Oh, (D major) what did you meet,
my (G major) blue-eyed (D major) son?
Who did you meet,
my darling young (A major) one?
I (G major) met a young child
beside (A major) a dead pony (D major)
I (G major) met a white man who walked (A major) a black dog (D major)
I (G major) met a young woman
whose (A major) body was (D major) burning
I (G major) met a young girl, she gave (A major) me a rainbow (D major)
I (G major) met one man who was (A major) wounded in (D major) love
I (G major) met another man
who was wounded (A major) in hatred (D major)
And it's a hard, it's a (A major) hard,
it's a (D major) hard, it's a (G major) hard
It's a (D major) hard rain's (A major) a-gonna (D major) fall (G major) (D major)
Verse 5
And (D major) what'll you do now,
my (G major) blue-eyed son? (D major)
And what'll you do now,
my darling young (A major) one?
I'm a- (G major) goin' back out
'fore the rain (A major) starts a- (D major) fallin'
I'll (G major) walk to the depths
of the (A major) deepest dark (D major) forest
Where the (G major) people are many
and their hands (A major) are all empty (D major)
Where the (G major) pellets of poison are
(A major) flooding their waters (D major)
Where the (G major) home in the valley meets
the damp (A major) dirty pris (D major) on
And the (G major) executioner's face is
always (A major) well (D major) hidden
Where (G major) hunger is ugly,
where the (A major) souls are forgotten (D major)
Where (G major) black is the color,
where (A major) none is the number (D major)
And I'll tell (G major) it and speak it
and think (A major) it and breathe (D major) it
And re (G major) flect from the mountain
so all (A major) souls can (D major) see it
Then I'll (G major) stand on the ocean un (A major) til I start (D major) sinkin'
But I'll know (G major) my song well
before (A major) I start singin' (D major)
And it's a hard, it's a (A major) hard,
it's a (D major) hard, it's a (G major) hard
It's a (D major) hard rain's (A major) a-gonna (D major) fall (G major) (D major)
