Verse 1:
  D            G     D
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
  D                  | A | Asus4 | A |
And 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
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
   G             D
Been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
      D        A      D      G
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
    D  A     | D | % | % | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall

Verse 2:
  D          G     D
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
  D                 A
And what did you see, my darling young one?
    G           D
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
    G            D
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
 G            D
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin’
    G              D
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin’
 G           D
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
   G             D
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
      D      A      D      G
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
      D  A      | D | % | % | % |
And it’s a hard rain's gonna fall


Verse 3:
D           G     D
What did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
  D                 | A | Asus4 | 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
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’
   G              D
Heard ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’
    G             D
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’
     G         D
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
      D      A        D      G
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard
    D  A     | D | Dsus4 | D | Dsus4 D Dsus2 | D | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall


Verse 4:
D          G     D
Who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
D                 A
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
 G          D        | D Dsus2 | 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 woman whose body was burning
 G           D
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
 G          D
I met one man who was wounded in love
 G            D
I met another man who was wounded in hatred
    D      A      D      G
It’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
    D  A     | D | D Dsus4 | D | Dsus2 | D | Dsus4 | D | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall


Verse 5:
  D           G     D
And what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
  D                  | A | Asus4 | A | Asus4 |
And what’ll you do now, my darling young one?
  G            D
I’m goin’ back out ’fore the rain starts a-fallin’
   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 the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
     G              D
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
G             D         | D  Dsus2 | D | % |
 The executioner’s face is always well hidden
   G           D
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
   G           D        | D  Dsus2 | 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        | D  Dsus2 | D | % |
Reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it
     G          D
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’
   G          D
But I know my song well before I start singin’
  D          A      D      G
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
    D  A     | D | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall
