[Bb] _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, where [Eb] have you been, my blue [Bb]-eyed son? _ _ _ _
Oh, where have you been, my [F] darling young one?
_ _ _ _ [Eb] I've stumbled on the [F] side of twelve [Bb] misty mountains _
_ _ [Eb] I've walked and I've [F] crawled on [Bb] six crooked [Eb] highways
[Bb] _ _
_ [Eb] I've stepped in the middle [F] of [Bb] seven sad [Eb] forests
[Bb] _ I've [Eb] been out in [F] front of a dozen [Bb] dead oceans
_ _ _ [Eb] I've been ten thousand [F] miles in the [Bb] mouth of a graveyard
And it's hard, [F] and it's hard, [Bb] and it's [Eb] hard, and it's [Bb] hard
It's the hard [F] _ _
[Bb] rains that are gonna _ [Eb] [Bb] fall _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, what did you see, [Eb] my blue [Bb]-eyed son? _ _ _ _
Oh, what did you see, my [F] darling young one?
_ _ _ [Eb] I saw a newborn babe [F] with wild wolves [Bb] all around it _
_ I [Eb] saw a highway of diamonds [F] with [Bb] nobody on it _ _
[Eb] I saw a black [F] branch with blood [Bb] that kept dripping
_ _ I [Eb] saw a room full of men [F] with their [Bb] hammers of bleeding
_ _ _ [Eb] I saw ten thousand [F] talkers whose tongues [Bb] were all broken _
_ _ [Eb] I saw guns and sharp swords [F] in the [Bb] hands of young children
And it's hard, [F] and it's [Bb] hard, and it's [Eb] hard, and it's [Bb] hard
It's the hard _ [F] _ _ [Bb] rains that are gonna _
[Eb] [Bb] fall _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And 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 [F] as it [Bb] roared out a warning _ _ _
[Eb] I heard the roar of a wave [F] that could [Bb] drown the whole world
_ _ [Eb] I heard one hundred [F] drummers whose hands [Bb] were a-blazing _
_ _ [Eb] I heard ten thousand [F] whispering and [Bb] nobody listening _ _
I [Eb] heard one person [F] starve, I heard many [Bb] people laughing
_ _ I [Eb] heard the song of a poet [F] who died [Bb] in the gutter
_ [Eb] I heard the sound of a [F] clown who [Bb] cried in the alley _
_ _ And it's hard, [F] and it's [Bb] hard, and it's hard, [Eb] and it's hard
[Bb] It's the hard _
[F] _ rains [Bb] that are gonna fall
_ _ And _ _ _ _ _ who did you meet, my blue-eyed son? _ _
_ Oh, who did you meet, my [F] darling young one? _ _
[Eb] I met a young [F] child beside a [Bb] dead pony
_ _ _ _ [Eb] I met a white man [F] who [Bb] walked a black dog
_ I [Eb] met a young [F] woman whose body [Bb] was [Cm] burning
_ [Bb] _
I [Eb] met a young girl, [F] she [Bb] gave me a rainbow
_ _ I [Eb] met one [F] man who was wounded [Bb] in love
_ _ [Eb] I met another [F] man who was [Bb] wounded in hatred
And it's hard, [F] and it's hard, [Bb] and it's hard, [Eb] and it's hard
[Bb] It's the hard [Gm] _ [F] _ _
[Bb] rains that are gonna [Eb] fall
[Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
I'll only do now, my blue-eyed son
I'll _ only do now, my [F] darling young _ _ one
[Eb] Well, I'm going back [F] out before [Bb] the rain starts a-falling _
_ [Eb] Where I'll walk to the depths [F] of the [Bb] deepest dark [Eb] forest
[Bb] _ _
[Eb] Where the people are [F] many and their hands [Bb] are all empty
_ _ _ [Eb] Where the pellets of poison [F] are [Bb] flooding their waters
_ _ [Eb] Where the home in the valley [F] meets the [Bb] damp, dirty prison _ _ _
[Eb] Where the executioner's [F] face is [Bb] always well hidden
_ _ [Eb] Where hunger is [F] ugly, where [Bb] souls are forgotten
_ _ _ [Eb] Where black is the [F] color and none [Bb] is the number _
And [Eb] I'll tell it and think [F] it and [Bb] speak it and breathe it _
[Eb] And reflect from the [F] mountain so all [Bb] souls can [Eb] see [Bb] it
And [Eb] I'll stand on the ocean [F] until [Bb] I start sinking _
_ _ [Eb] But I'll know my song [F] well before [Bb] I start singing
And it's [F] hard, and it's [Bb] hard, and it's hard, [Eb] and it's hard
[Bb] It's the hard [Gm] _ [F] _ _ [Bb] rains that are gonna fall
[Eb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
