Oh, where have you been, my blue eyed son?
F7 Bb7 C7
Where have you been, my darling young one?
Bb7 C7 F7
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
Bb7 C7 F7
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
Bb7 C7 F7
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
Bb7
C7 F7
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
F7 C7 F7 Bb7
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
F7 C7 F7
And it's a hard rain's gonna fall
F7 x4
F7 Bb7 F7
Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son?
F7 Bb7 C7
What did you see, my darling young one?
Bb7 C7 F7
I saw a black branch with blood that kept dripping
Bb7 C7 F7
I saw a room full of men with their hammers bleeding
Bb7 C7 F7
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
Bb7 C7 F7
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
F7 C7 F7 Bb7
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, ohhh it's a hard
F7 C7 F7
And it's a hard rain's gonna fall
F7 x4
F7 Bb7 F7
Tell me what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
F7 Bb7 C7
What did you hear, my darling young one?
Bb7 C7 F7
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazing
Bb7 C7 F7
Ten thousand whispering and nobody listening
Bb7 C7 F7
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughing
Bb7 C7 F7
I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
F7 C7 F7 Bb7
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, ohhh it's a hard
F7 C7 F7
And it's a hard rain's gonna fall
F7 x4
F7 Bb7 F7
Well, what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
F7 Bb7 C7
What'll you do now, my darling young one?
Bb7 C7 F7
Well I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Bb7 C7 F7
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Bb7 C7 F7
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Bb7 C7 F7
Where hunger is ugly, and the souls are forgotten
F7 C7 F7 Bb7
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, ohhh it's a hard
F7 C7 F7
And it's a hard rain's gonna fall
