[Eb] [Bb] [Bb]
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?

[Eb] I've stumbled on the side [F] of twelve [Bb] misty mountains
[Eb] I've walked and I've crawled [F] on six [Bb] crooked highways
[Eb] I've stepped in the middle [F] of seven [Bb] sad forests
[Eb] I've been out in [G] front of a dozen [Bb] dead oceans
I've [Eb] been ten thousand [G] miles in the mouth of a [Bb] graveyard
And it's hard, [F] and it's hard, [Bb] and it's hard, [Eb] and it's hard

And it's hard, [C] and it's [Bb] hard, and it's hard, [Eb] and it's hard
[Bb] It's hard [F]
[Bb] rains are gonna [Eb] [Bb] fall
Oh, what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling [F] young one?
[Eb] I heard the sound of a thunder as [F] it roared out [Bb] a warning
I [Eb] heard the roar of a wave [F] that could drown the whole world
[Eb] I heard one hundred drummers [F] whose hands were a-blazing
[C] [Bb]
I [Eb] heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody [Bb]
listenin'
I [Eb] heard one person starve, [F] I heard many [Bb] people laughin'
I [Eb] heard the song of a poet [F] who [Bb] died in the gutter
I [Eb] heard the sound of a clown [F] who cried [Bb] in the alley
And it's hard, and [F] it's hard, and [Bb] it's hard, [Eb] and it's hard
[Bb] It's hard [F]

I only do now, my darling [F] young one
When
[Eb] [F]
the rain [Bb] starts a-fallin'
Where [Eb] I'll walk to the depths of [F] the deepest [Bb] dark forest
[Eb] Where the people are many and [F] their hands are [Bb] all empty
[Eb] Where the pellets of poison [F] are flooding their [Bb] waters
Where [Eb] the home in the valley [F] meets the damp, [Bb] dirty prison
Where [Eb] the executioner's face is [F] always [Bb] well hidden
Where [Eb] hunger is ugly, where [F] souls are [Bb] forgotten
[Eb] Where black is the color [F] and none [Bb] is the number

it
