A Hard Rains Gonna Fall

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

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

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

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

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