RE LA
Oh where have you been my blue-eyed son where have you been my darling young one
SOL RE
I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
SOL RE
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways
SOL RE
I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
SOL RE
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
SOL RE
I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
RE LA RE
And it’s a hard And it’s a hard it’s a hard
SOL RE LA RE LA
And it’s a hard And it’s a hard rain’s a gonna fall
RE LA
Oh what did you see my blue-eyed son oh what did you see my darling young one
SOL RE
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
SOL RE
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
SOL RE
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin’
SOL RE
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin’
SOL RE
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
SOL RE
I saw thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
SOL RE
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of a young children
RE LA RE
And it’s a hard And it’s a hard it’s a hard
SOL RE LA RE LA
And it’s a hard And it’s a hard rain’s a gonna fall
RE LA
And what did you hear my blue eyed son and what did you hear my darling young one
SOL RE
I heard the sound of a thunder it roared out a warnin’
SOL RE
heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
SOL RE
heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’
SOL RE
heard ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’
SOL RE
heard one person starve I heard many people laughin’
SOL RE
heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
SOL RE
heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
RE LA RE
And it’s a hard And it’s a hard it’s a hard
SOL RE LA RE LA
And it’s a hard And it’s a hard rain’s a gonna fall
RE LA
Oh what did you meet my blue eyed son who did you meet my darling young one
SOL RE
I met a young child beside a dead pony
SOL RE
I met a white man who walked a black dog
SOL RE
I met a young woman whose body was burning
SOL RE
I met a young girl she gave me a rainbow
SOL RE
I met one man who was wounded in love
SOL RE
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
RE LA RE
And it’s a hard And it’s a hard it’s a hard
SOL RE LA RE LA
And it’s a hard And it’s a hard rain’s a gonna fall
RE LA
Oh what’ll you do my blue eyed son oh what’ll you do my darling young one
SOL RE
I’m a-goin’ back out ‘fore the rain start a-fallin’
SOL RE
I’ll walk to the depth of the deepest black forest
SOL RE
where the people are many and their hands are all empty
SOL RE
where pellets of poison are flooding their waters
SOL RE
where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
SOL RE
where the executioner’s face is always well hidden
SOL RE
where hunger is ugly where souls are forgotten
SOL RE
where black is the color where none is the number
SOL RE
and I’ll tell it and think and speak it and breathe it
SOL RE
and reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
SOL RE
then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’
SOL RE
but I know my song well before I start singin’
RE LA RE
And it’s a hard And it’s a hard it’s a hard
SOL RE LA RE LA RE
And it’s a hard And it’s a hard rain’s a gonna fall
