Verse 1
D 
Oh where have you been,
my blue eyed son?
Where have you been,
A 
my darling young one?
G 
I've stumbled on the side of
D 
twelve misty mountains
G 
D 
Walked and I've crawled on
six crooked highways
G 
Stepped in the middle of
D 
seven sad forests
G 
Been out in front of
D 
a dozen dead oceans
G 
I've been ten thousand miles
D 
in a mouth of a graveyard

What did you see, my darling young one?
D 
G 
I saw a newborn baby with
D 
wild wolves around it
G 
I saw a highway of
D 
diamonds with nobody on it
G 
I saw a black branch with
D 
blood that kept drippin'
G 
I saw a room full of men with
D 
their hammers a bleedin'
G 
D 
A white ladder all covered with water
G 
I saw ten thousand talkers whose
D 
tongues were all broken
G 
I saw guns and sharp swords in
D 
the hands of young children

D 
And what did you hear,
my blue eyed son?
What did you hear,
A 
my darling young one
G 
I heard the sound of thunder
D 
that roared out a warning
G 
Heard the roar of a wave that could
D 
drown the whole world
G 
Heard one hundred drummers
D 
whose hands were a blazin'
G 
Heard ten thousand whisperin'
D 
and nobody listenin'
G 
Heard one person starve,
D 
many people laughin'
G 
Heard the song of a poet
D 
who died in the gutter
G 
Heard the sound of a clown
D 
who cried in the alley

And it's a hard and it's a hard and

it's a hard hard hard hard

A 
my darling young one?

D 
I met a young child beside a dead pony
G 
D 
I met a white man who walked a black dog
G 
D 
I 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 
Another man who was
D 
wounded with hatred

Verse 9
D 
Oh what'll you do now,
my blue eyed son?
What'll you do now,
A 
my darling young one?
G 
I'm goin' back out 'fore
D 
the rain starts fallin'
G 
Walk to the depths of
D 
the deepest black forest
G 
Where people are many and
D 
their hands are all empty
G 
Where pellets of poison are
D 
flooding the waters
G 
Where the home in the valley
D 
meets the damp dirty prison
G 
Where the executioner's face
D 
is always well hidden
G 
Where hunger is ugly,
D 
where souls are forgotten
G 
Where black is the color,
D 
and none is the number
G 
And I'll tell it and think it and
D 
speak it and breathe it
G 
And reflect it from the mountains
D 
so all souls can see it
G 
Then I'll stand in the ocean
D 
until I start sinking
G 
But I'll know my song well
D 
before I start singing

A 
D

A 
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
