Intro: D G D D

  D            G     D  D
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
  D                   A
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
    Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D    D     D
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
   Gadd2/D          Aadd4/D     D  D
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
    Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D  D   D
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
   Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D  D   D
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
   Gadd2/D            Aadd4/D    D
I've 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, and it's a hard
      D   A      D   G  D  D
And it's a hard rain's gonna fall

  D          G     D  D
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
  D                 A
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
    Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D   D    D
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
    Gadd2/D         Aadd4/D D  D
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
 Gadd2/D         Aadd4/D     D   D
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
    Gadd2/D           Aadd4/D   D   D
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'
 Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D    D   D
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
   Gadd2/D          Aadd4/D      D  D
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
   Gadd2/D           Aadd4/D      D
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
      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   G  D  D
And it's a hard rain's gonna fall

  D           G     D  D
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
  D                  A
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
      Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D    D    D
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
     Gadd2/D          Aadd4/D     D   D
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
    Gadd2/D          Aadd4/D    D    D
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
   Gadd2/D           Aadd4/D  D   D
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
   Gadd2/D          Aadd4/D   D    D
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
     Gadd2/D      Aadd4/D   D   D
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
     Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D   D
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
      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   G  D  D
And it's a hard rain's gonna fall

  D          G     D  D
Oh, who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
D                 A
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
 Gadd2/D       Aadd4/D   D  D
I met a young child beside a dead pony
 Gadd2/D       Aadd4/D    D  D
I met a white man who walked a black dog
 Gadd2/D         Aadd4/D  D   D
I met a young woman whose body was burning
 Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D   D   D
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D   D  D
I met one man who was wounded in love
 Gadd2/D         Aadd4/D    D
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
      D      A      D      G
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
    D   A      D   G  D  D
It's a hard rain's gonna fall

  D           G     D  D
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
  D                  A
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
   Gadd2/D         Aadd4/D    D    D
I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin'
   Gadd2/D          Aadd4/D    D   D
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
     Gadd2/D          Aadd4/D    D   D
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
     Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D    D    D
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
     Gadd2/D           Aadd4/D   D   D
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
     Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D   D   D
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
   Gadd2/D        Aadd4/D    D   D
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
   Gadd2/D          Aadd4/D    D   D
Where black is the color, where none is the number
     Gadd2/D         Aadd4/D    D     D
And I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it
   Gadd2/D            Aadd4/D    D   D
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
     Gadd2/D       Aadd4/D    D   D
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
     Gadd2/D       Aadd4/D   D
But I'll 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   G  D Aadd4/D D
