A Hard Rains A-Gonna Fall

[Verse 1]
D G/B D   D
       Oh where have you been,
   G/B       D
my blue eyed son?
Oh, where have you been,
                 A/E
my darling young one?
     Gmaj9/D             A/D          D
I've stumbled on side of twelve misty mountains
     Gmaj9/D                    A/D         D
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
     Gmaj9/D                  A/D       D
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
     Gmaj9/D                  A/D        D
I've been   out in front of a dozen dead oceans
          Gmaj9/D                      A/D        D
I've been ten    thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard

[Chorus]
    G/B    D               A/E          D
And It's a hard and it's a hard, it's a hard,
       G/B
it's a hard
       D          A/E        D   G/B
It's a hard rain's   a gonna fall

[Verse 2]
D   D                    G/B       D
 Oh what did you see, my blue eyed son?
    D
And what did you see,
                 A/E
my darling young one?
        Gmaj9/D                    A/D         D
I saw a new    born baby with wild wolves all around it
        Gmaj9/D                  A/D    D
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
  Gmaj9/D                    A/D             D
I saw    a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
        Gmaj9/D                       A/D            D
I saw a room   full of men with their hammers a bleedin'
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
      Gmaj9/D                       A/D                 D
I saw ten    thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
      Gmaj9/D                             A/D
I saw guns   and sharp swords in the hands   of young
     D
children

[Chorus]
    G/B    D            A/E          D
And It's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
           G/B
and it's a hard
       D          A/E        D   G/B
It's a hard rain's   a gonna fall

[Verse 3]
D    D
 And what did you hear,
   G/B       D
my blue eyed son?
    D
And what did you hear,
                 A/E
my darling young one
            Gmaj9/D                  A/D          D
I heard the sound  of a thunder that roared out a warning
            Gmaj9/D                     A/D
I heard the roar   of a wave that could drown the whole
D
world
        Gmaj9/D                            A/D
I heard one    hundred drummers whose hands   were a
    D
blazin'
        Gmaj9/D                          A/D       D
I heard ten    thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
        Gmaj9/D
I heard one    person starve,
        A/D              D
I heard many people laughin'
            Gmaj9/D              A/D         D
I heard the song   of a poet who died in the gutter
            Gmaj9/D                    A/D       D
I heard the sound  of a clown who cried   in the alley

[Chorus]
    G/B    D            A/E          D
And It's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
       G/B
it's a hard
       D          A/E        D   G/B
It's a hard rain's   a gonna fall

[Verse 4]
D   D                    G/B       D
 Oh who did you meet, my blue eyed son?
    D
Oh, who did you meet,
                 A/E
my darling young one?
  Gmaj9/D                    A/D         D
I met    a young child beside   a dead pony
  Gmaj9/D                A/D            D
I met    a white man who walked a black dog
  Gmaj9/D                     A/D    D
I met    a young girl whose body was burning
  Gmaj9/D
I met    a young girl,
        A/D     D
she gave   me a rainbow
  Gmaj9/D                A/D        D
I met    one man who was wounded in love
  Gmaj9/D                    A/D          D
I met    another man who was wounded with hatred

[Chorus]
    G/B    D            A/E          D
And It's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
       G/B
it's a hard
       D          A/E        D   G/B
It's a hard rain's   a gonna fall

[Verse 5]
D   D
 Oh what'll you do now,
   G/B       D   G/B D
my blue eyed son?
And what'll you do now,
                 A/E
my darling young one?
      Gmaj9/D                      A/D            D
I'm a goin' back out 'fore the rain   starts a fallin'
     Gmaj9/D                     A/D           D
I'll walk   to the depths of the deepest black forest
          Gmaj9/D                        A/D        D
Where the people are many and their hands   are all empt y
          Gmaj9/D               A/D             D
Where the pellets of poison are flooding the waters
          Gmaj9/D                        A/D           D
Where the home   in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
          Gmaj9/D                 A/D       D
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
      Gmaj9/D
Where hunger is ugly,
          A/D          D
where the souls are forgotten
      Gmaj9/D
Where black  is the color,
    A/D            D
and none is the number
         Gmaj9/D                         A/D
And I'll tell   it and think it and speak   it and breathe
D
it
           Gmaj9/D                      A/D           D
And reflect       from the mountains so all souls can see
it
          Gmaj9/D               A/D         D
Then I'll stand  in the ocean until I start sinking
              Gmaj9/D                 A/D          D
But I'll know my     song well before I  start singing

[Chorus]
    G/B    D            A/E          D
And It's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
           G/B
and it's a hard
       D          A/E        D   G/B G6/B D A/D D
It's a hard rain's   a gonna fall
