Where have you been, my [Eb] blue-eyed son?
[Bb]
Where have you been, my darling [F]
young one?
[Eb] I've stumbled on the [D] [Cm] side of twelve [Bb] misty [Eb] mountains
[Bb]
[Eb] I've walked [Dm] and I've [Cm] crawled on six [Bb] crooked highways
[Eb] I've been out [Dm] in front [Cm] of a dozen [Bb] dead oceans
I've
[Eb] been ten thousand [Dm] [Cm] miles in the [Bb] mouth of a graveyard
[Eb] [Bb] And it's hard, [F] and it's hard, [Bb] and it's hard, and [Eb] it's hard
[Bb] It's a hard way
[F] [Bb] we're gonna fall
Where did you see [Eb] my blue [Bb]-eyed son?
Where did you see my darling [F]
young one?
[Eb] I saw a [Dm] newborn babe [Cm] with wild wolves [Bb] all around [Eb] it
[Bb]
I [Eb] saw a highway [Dm] of diamonds [Cm] with [Bb] nobody on it
I [Eb] saw a black [Dm] branch [Cm] with blood that kept [Bb] dripping
[Eb] [Bb]
[Gm] I [Eb] saw a room full [Dm] of men with [Cm] their hammers [Bb] bleeding
[Eb] [Bb] And it's hard, [F] and it's hard, [Bb] and it's hard, [Eb] and it's hard
[Bb] It's a hard way [F]
we're [Bb] gonna [Eb] fall
[Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] Where did you hear my blue-eyed son?
Where did you hear my darling [F] young one?
[Eb] I heard the sound of [Dm] a thunder [Cm] that roared [Bb] out a warning
[Eb] [Bb] I [Eb] heard the roar of [Dm] a wave [Cm] that could drown [Bb] the whole [Eb] world
[Eb] I heard one hundred [Dm] drummers [Cm] whose hands [Bb] were blazing
[Eb] [Bb]
I [Eb] heard ten [D] thousand whispering [C] and nobody [Bb] listening
[Eb] [Bb] [Gm]
I [Eb] heard one [D] person starve, [Cm] I heard many people [Bb] [Eb] laughing
And [Bb] it's hard, and [F] it's hard, [Bb] and it's hard, [Eb] and it's hard
[Bb] It's a hard [F] way [Bb] we're gonna [Eb] fall
[Bb] What'll [C] [Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] you do now, my blue-eyed son?
What'll you do now, my darling [F] young one?
[Eb] Well, I'm not going [Dm] back out [Cm] before the rain [Bb] starts falling
[Eb]
[Bb] I will walk [Dm] into the depths [C] of the deepest [Bb] dark [Eb] forest
[Bb] [Eb] And the people of [Dm] many [Cm] will be the [Bb] hands of all empty
[Eb]
[Bb] And [Eb] the blood of the [D] poison [C] will flood [Bb] in their waters
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] And the home [D] in the valley [Cm] meets a damp, [Bb] dirty prison
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] And the [Dm] executioner's face, it is [Cm] always [Bb] well hidden
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] And black [Dm] is the color [C] and the none [Bb] is the number
[Eb]
[Bb] And [Eb] I'll tell it, [Dm] and I'll speak it, [C] and I'll speak it [Bb] and I'll breathe [Eb] it
[Bb] And [Eb] in fact, [Dm] up on the mountains [Cm] I saw that all [Bb] souls could see it
[Eb]
[Bb] And [Eb] I'll stand [Dm] on the ocean [Cm] until I [Bb] start sinking
[Eb]
[Bb] Oh, [Eb] but I'll know [Dm] my song well [Cm] before I [Bb] start [Eb] singing
Oh, and [Bb] it's hard, [F] and it's hard, [Bb] and it's hard, [Eb] and it's hard
[Bb] It's a hard way [F] we're [Bb] gonna [Eb] fall
[Bb] [N]
