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