Chords for Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall - Live at the Gaslight - 1962

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