[Verse 1]
[F][G][C][G][Gm][C][Gm][G][C][G][Gsus4][Gm][C]
Oh,
[Gm]where have you [Gsus4]been, my blu[G]e -eyed son
An[Gsus4]d where h[Gm]ave you been,[G]
my darling young [D]one
I've [C]stumbled on the side
of twelve misty [G]mountains
I've [C]walked and I've crawled
on six crooked [G]highways
I've [C]stepped in the middle of
seven sad [G]forests
I've [C]been out in front
[G]of a dozen dead oceans
I've been [C]ten thousand miles
in [G]the mouth of a graveyard
And it's hard, it's [D]hard,
it's [G]hard, it's [C]hard
It's [G]hard [D]rain's gonna [G]fall
And what did you see, my blue -eyed son?
And what did you see, my darling young [D]man?
I saw [C]a newborn baby
with wild [D]wolves [G]all around it
Saw [C]a highway of diamonds
with [D]nobody on [G]it
I saw [C]a black ranch
[D]with blood that kept [G]dripping
Saw [C]a room full of men
with their [D]hammers a -bleed[G]ing
I [C]saw a white ladder all [G]covered with water
I saw [C]10 ,000 talkers [D]and nobody listene[G]d
I saw [C]guns and sharp swords
in the [D]hands of young chil[G]dren
And it's hard, it's [D]hard,
it's [G]hard, it's [C]hard
It's a [G]hard rain,
[D]gon[G]na fall[C][G][Gm][C][G]
[F]And [G]what did you hear,
my blue -eyed son?
What did you hear, my darlin' young [D]one?
I heard the [C]sound of a thunder
that [D]roared out a [G]warning
I heard the [C]roar of a wave
that could [D]drown the whole [G]world
I heard [C]100 drummers
[Dsus4]whose hands were a [G]-blazin'
[Gm]And 10 ,[C]000 whisperin' and
[G]nobody listenin'
I heard [C]one person starvin'
[D]and many people laugh[G]in'
I heard the [C]song of a poet
who [D]had died in a [G]gutter
I heard the [C]sound of a clown
who [G]cried in the alley
An[Asus4]d it's a hard, i[G]t's a hard, i[D]t's a hard,[G]
it's a [C]hard, it's a [G]hard road [D]we're gonna [G]fall on
Oh, and who did you meet,
my blue -eyed son?
And who did you meet,
my darling young [D]one?
I [C]met a young child beside [D]a dead pony
[G]I m[C]et a white man who w[D]alked a black d[G]og
I [C]met a young woman
whose [D]body was burning
[G]I met a[C] young girl and she
[D]gave me a rain[G]bow
I met [C]one man who was [D]wounded in love
[G]And I met[C] another man
who was wounded [D]in hatred
[G]And it's a hard, it's a [D]hard, it's a [G]hard,
it's [C]a hard, it's [G]a hard [D]rain[G]
And what do you do now,
my blue -eyed son
And what do you do now,
my darling young [D]one
I'm [C]a -goin' back out
before the [D]rain starts fall[G]in'
I [C]walk to the depths of the deep[D]est
[G]Where the [C]people are many
and their [D]hands [G]are all empty
Where the [C]pellets of poison
are flood[D]ing their water[G]s
Where the [C]home in the valley
meets the [D]damp, dirty pris[G]on
And the exe[C]cutioner's face
is always well [G]hidden
Where [C]hunger is ugly
and [D]the souls are forgot[G]ten
Where [C]black is the color
and [D]none [G]is the number
Then I'll [C]speak it and think it
and [D]tell it and breathe [G]it
And re[C]flect it from the mountains
so [D]all souls [G]can see it
Then I'll [C]stand on the ocean
until [Dsus4]I start sinking[G]
But I'll [C]know myself well
before [D]I start s[G]inging
[F]Oh, it's a [G]hard, it's a [D]hard, it's [G]a hard,
it's [C]a hard, it's a [G]hard [D]rain
Gonna [G]fall [C]you[G][Bb][F][Em][C]
