A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh,[G] wh[D]ere have you been,
my blue- [G]eyed [D]son?
Oh, where have you been,
my darling [A]young one?
I've [D]stumbled on the side
[A]of twelve [D]misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on [A]six
crooked high[D]ways
[G]I've stepped in [D]the middle
of seven sad forests
I've been out in front of
a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand [G]miles
[D]in the mou[A]th of [D]a graveyard
And it's a hard, and [A]it's a hard,
it's a [D]hard, and it's a [G]hard
And it's a [D]hard rain's
[A]a- gonna fal[D]l
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
Oh, what did you see,
my [G]blue- eyed [D]son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling [A]young one?
I saw a [D]newborn baby [G]with
[A]wild wolves [D]all around it
I saw a highway of dia[G]monds
[A]with nobody [D]on it
I saw [G]a black branch with
blood [A]that kep[D]t drippin'
I saw a room full of men [G]with their
ham[D]mers a- bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten [G]thousand talker[D]s
whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns [G]and sharp swords in
[D]the hand[A] s [D]of young children
And it's a hard, and it's a [A]hard,
it's a [D]hard, it's a [G]hard
And it's a [D]hard [A]rain's
a- gonna [D]fall
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
And what did you hear,
my [G]blue- eyed [D]son?
And what did you hear, my darling [A]young one?
I heard the [D]sound [G]of a thunder,
it [D]roared out a warnin'
Heard the roar of a [G]wave [D]that could
drown the whole [G]world[D][G][D]
Heard one [G]person starve,
I heard [D]many people laughin'
Heard the song [G]of a poet [D]who died
in the gutter
[G]Heard the sound of a clown
who [D]cried in the alley
And it's a hard, and [A]it's a hard,
it's a [D]hard, it's a [G]hard
And it's a [D]hard rain's
[A]a- gonna fal[D]l
[G][D]

[Verse 4]
Oh, who did you meet,
my [G]blue- eyed [D]son?
Who did you meet, my darling [A]young one?
I [D]met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man [G]who [D]walked [A]a bla[D]ck dog
I met a young woman
[G]whose [D]body was burning
I met [G]a young girl, she [D]gave me a rainbow
I met one [G]man [D]who was wounded in love
I met [G]an other man who was
[A]wounded [D]with hatred
And it's a hard, it's a [A]hard,
it's a [D]hard, it's a [G]hard
It's a [D]hard [A]rain's a- gonna [D]fall
[G][D]

[Verse 5]
Oh, what'll you do now,
my blue- [G]eyed [D]son?[G][D]
Oh, what'll you do now,
my darling [A]young one?
I'm a- [D]goin' back [G]out 'fore the
[D]rain starts a- fallin'
I'll [G]walk to the depths of the
[D]deepest black forest
Where the people [G]are [D]many [G]and their
[D]hands are all empty
Where the pellet[G]s of poison a[D]re
flooding their waters
Where the home in the val[G]ley
meets [D]the damp dirty prison
Where the execution[G]er's face
[D]is always well- hidden
Where hunger [G]is ugly,
where [D]souls are forgotten
Where black [G]is the color,
where [D]none is the number
And I'll tell it [G]and think it and
speak [D]it [A]and [D]breathe it
And reflect it from [G]the mountain
so [D]all souls can see it
Then I'll [G]stand on the ocean
until [D]I start sinkin'
But I'll know my song [G]well
before [D]I start singin'
And it's a hard, it's a [A]hard,
it's a [D]hard, it's a [G]hard
It's a [D]hard [A]rain's a- gonna fall

[Outro 1]
