Verse 1
(G major) Oh, where have you been,
my blue (C major) -eyed (G major) son?
Oh, where have you been,
my darling young one? (D major)
I've (C major) stumbled on the side
of (D major) twelve misty (G major) mountains
I've (C major) walked and I've crawled
on (D major) six crooked high (G major) ways
I've stepped (C major) in the middle
of sev (D major) en sad (G major) forests
And I've (C major) been out in front
of a (D major) dozen dead ocean (G major) s
I've been 10 (C major) ,000 miles
in (D major) the mouth of a (G major) graveyard
And it's a hard, it's a (D major) hard, it's a (G major) hard
And it's a (C major) hard, it's a (G major) hard rain (D major) (G major)
What have you seen,
my blue (C major) -eyed sun (Csus2)
What (G major) have you seen, my darlin' young (D major) one
I saw a (C major) newborn baby
with barbed (D major) wires all (G major) around her
I saw a (C major) highway of diamonds
with (D major) nobody on (G major) it
I saw (C major) a black branch with
(Csus2) blood (D major) that kept rippin' (G major)
I saw a (C major) room full of men
with (Csus2) their hammers (D major) and pleas (G major)
I saw (C major) a wide ladder all (Csus2)
(D major) covered with wa (G major) ter
I saw ten (C major) thousand talkers
(D major) whose tongues were (G major) all broken
I saw guns (C major) and short swords
in the (D major) hands of young chil (G major) dren
And it's a hard, it's a (D major) hard, it's a (G major) hard,
it's a (C major) hard, it's a (G major) hard life (D major) (G major)
And what did you hear,
my (C major) blue -eyed (G major) son?
And what did you hear,
my darling young one? (D major)
I heard the (C major) sound of a thunder,
it (D major) roared out a warn (G major) ing
I heard the (C major) roar of a wave,
that could (D major) drown the whole world (G major)
I heard (C major) one hundred drummers,
whose (D major) hands were ablaze (G major)
I heard (C major) 10 ,000 talking
and nobody (D major) listen (G major) ing
I heard (C major) one person starve,
I heard (D major) many people laughing
(G major) I heard the (C major) song of a poet
who died (D major) in the gutter (G major)
I heard the (C major) sound of a clown who crushed (D major)
(G major) And it's a hard, and it's (D major) a hard, it's (G major) a hard,
and it's (C major) a hard, it's a (G major) hard rain, (D major) gonna (G major) fall.
Oh, you did to me a (C major) blue -eyed suit
(G major) And you did to me my darling of a (D major) woman
I (C major) met a young child beside (D major) a dead (G major) pony
I (C major) met a white man who (D major) walked a black (G major) dog
I met (C major) a young woman
whose (D major) body was burned
(G major) I met (C major) a young girl, she (D major) gave me a (G major) rainbow
I met (C major) one man who was (D major) wounded in love (G major)
I (C major) met another man who was
(D major) wounded in hatred (G major)
It's a heart, it's a (D major) heart, it's a (G major) heart
It's (C major) a hard, it's a (G major) hard rain, (D major) on the (G major) farm
What do you do now?
I'm blue -eyed, son
What do you do now,
my dark an (D major) d young one?
I'm (C major) going back out
before the (D major) rain starts fall (G major) ing
Now I (C major) walk to the depths
of the (D major) deepest black (G major) forest
Where the (C major) people are many
and their (D major) hands are all empty (G major)
Where the (C major) pellets of poison
are (D major) flooding their water (G major) s
Where the (C major) home in the valley
meets the (D major) damn dirty pris (G major) on
Where the (C major) executioner's face
is (D major) always well hidden
(G major) Where (C major) hunger is ugly,
where souls (D major) are forgot (G major) ten
Where black (C major) is the color,
(D major) where none is the num (G major) ber
And I'll (C major) tell it and think it
and speak (D major) it and breathe (G major) in ,
and re (C major) flect from the mountain
so all (D major) souls can (G major) see.
And I'll (C major) stand on the ocean
until (D major) I start sink (G major) ing,
but I'll (C major) know my song well
before I (D major) start to (G major) sing it.
And it's a hard, it's (D major) a hard, it's a (G major) hard,
and it's a (C major) hard, it's a (G major) hard race
(D major) I can't you anymore
Come along (G major)
You
