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