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