[A] [A] Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed sun?
Oh, where have you been, my darling [E] young one?
[D] I've stumbled on side of [A] twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
[D] I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in [A] front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's hard, [E] it's hard, it's hard, [D] it's hard, it's hard
[E] It's [A] gonna fall
What did you hear, my blue-eyed sun?
Oh, what did you hear, my [E] darling young one?
[D] I heard the sound of a thunder [A] that roared out a warning
[D] I heard the roar of a wave that could [A] drown the whole world
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were blazing
I heard ten thousand [E] whisperin', [A] nobody listenin'
I heard one person starve, heard many people laughin'
Heard the [D] song of a poet who died in the [D] gutters
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the [A] alleys
And it's hard, it's [E] [A] hard, it's hard, it's hard
It's gonna fall
Who did you meet, my blue-eyed sun?
Oh, who did you meet, my [E] darling young one?
[D] I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white [A] man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
[D] I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who [A] was wounded in hatred
And it's hard, it's hard, it's [D] hard, it's hard
[A] It's gonna fall
What'll you do now, my blue-eyed sun?
Oh, what'll you do now, my [E] darling young one?
[D] I'm going back out [A] before the rain starts to fall in
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
[D] Where the pellets of [A] poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the down-thirty prisons
Where [D] the executioner's [A] face is well hidden
[D] Where hunger is up and [A] souls are forgotten
Where black is the color and none is the number
I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
I'll reflect it from the mountains [E] so all [A] souls can see it
I'll stand on the ocean until I start singing
[D] I'll know my song well [A] before I start singing
And it's hard, [E] it's hard, it's [D] hard, it's hard
[A] It's [E] gonna [A] fall
Oh, where have you been, my darling [E] young one?
[D] I've stumbled on side of [A] twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
[D] I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
I've been out in [A] front of a dozen dead oceans
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
And it's hard, [E] it's hard, it's hard, [D] it's hard, it's hard
[E] It's [A] gonna fall
What did you hear, my blue-eyed sun?
Oh, what did you hear, my [E] darling young one?
[D] I heard the sound of a thunder [A] that roared out a warning

Heard the [D] song of a poet who died in the [D] gutters
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the [A] alleys
And it's hard, it's [E] [A] hard, it's hard, it's hard
It's gonna fall

I met a white [A] man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning

I met another man who [A] was wounded in hatred
And it's hard, it's hard, it's [D] hard, it's hard

I'll stand on the ocean until I start singing
[D] I'll know my song well [A] before I start singing
And it's hard, [E] it's hard, it's [D] hard, it's hard
[A] It's [E] gonna [A] fall
