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

[D]Oh, what did you see, my darling young [A]one?
[G]I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all [D]around it
[G]I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody [D]on it
[G]I saw a black branch with blood that kept [D]drippin'
[G]I saw a room full of men with their hammers a [D]bleedin'
[G]I saw a white ladder all covered with [D]water
[G]I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all [D]broken
[D]And it's a hard, and it's a [A]hard, it's a [D]hard, and it's a [G]hard
[D]It's a hard rain's a gonna [A]fall [D]
Verse 3
[D]And what did you hear, my blue eyed [G]son?
[D]And what did you hear, my darling young [A]one?
[G]I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a [D]warnin'
[G]Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole [D]world
[G]Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a [D]blazin'
[G]Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody [D]listenin'
[G]Heard one person starve, I heard many people [D]laughin'
[G]Heard the song of a poet who died in the [D]gutter

[G]I met a white man who walked a black [D]dog
[G]I met a young woman whose body was [D]burning
[G]I met a young girl, she gave me a [D]rainbow
[G]I met one man who was wounded in [D]love
[G]I met another man who was wounded in [D]hatred

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