[D][D][D][D]

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

[Verse 2]
Oh, [D]what did you see,
my [G]blue-eyed [D]son
And what did you see,
my darling young [A]one
I saw a [G]newborn baby
with [A]wild wolves all a[D]round it
I saw a [G]highway of diamonds with
[A]nobody [D]on it
I [G]saw a black branch
with [A]blood that kept [D]drippin'
I saw a [G]room full of men
with their [A]hammers a- [D]bleedin'
I [G]saw a white ladder all [A]covered with [D]water
I saw [G]ten thousand talkers
whose [A]tongues were all [D]broken
I saw [G]guns and sharp swords
in the [A]hands of young [D]children
And it's a hard, and 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 3]
And [D]what did you hear,
my [G]blue-eyed [D]son?
And what did you hear,
my darling young [A]one?
I heard the [G]sound of a thunder
that [A]roared out a [D]warnin'
I heard the [G]roar of a wave
that could [A]drown the whole [D]world
I heard [G]one hundred drummers
whose [A]hands were a-blaz[D]in'
I heard [G]ten thousand whisperin' and
[A]nobody listen[D]in'
I heard [G]one person starve,
I heard [A]many people laugh[D]in'
I heard the [G]song of a poet
who [A]died in the [D]gutter
I heard the [G]sound of a clown
who [A]cried in the [D]alley
And it's a hard, and 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 4]
Oh, [D]what did you meet,
my [G]blue-eyed [D]son?
Who did you meet,
my darling young [A]one?
I [G]met a young child
be[A]side a dead [D]pony
I [G]met a white man who [A]walked a black [D]dog
I [G]met a young woman
whose [A]body was [D]burning
I [G]met a young girl, she [A]gave me a [D]rainbow
I [G]met one man who was [A]wounded in [D]love
I [G]met another man
who was [A]wounded in [D]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]
And [D]what'll you do now,
my [G]blue-eyed [D]son?
And what'll you do now,
my darling young [A]one?
I'm a- [G]goin' back out
'fore the [A]rain starts a- [D]fallin'
I'll [G]walk to the depths
of the [A]deepest dark [D]forest
Where the [G]people are many
and their [A]hands are all [D]empty
Where the [G]pellets of poison are
[A]flooding their [D]waters
Where the [G]home in the valley meets
the [A]damp dirty pris[D]on
And the [G]executioner's face is
[A]always well [D]hidden
Where [G]hunger is ugly,
where the [A]souls are for[D]gotten
Where [G]black is the color,
where [A]none is the [D]number
And I'll [G]tell it and speak it
and [A]think it and breathe [D]it
And re[G]flect from the mountain
so [A]all souls can [D]see it
Then I'll [G]stand on the ocean un[A]til I start [D]sinkin'
But I'll [G]know my song well
before [A]I start s[D]ingin'
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]
