[Start]

[Verse]
Eb                                        
■  Oh where have you been my blue eyed son
                                     Bb 
Where have you been my darling young one
Ab                           Eb                    
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
Ab                         Eb                  
Walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
Ab                       Eb    Eb7        
Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
Ab                     Eb               
Been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
          Ab                      Eb                  
I've been ten thousand miles in a mouth of a graveyard


[Chorus]
                       Bb              Eb              Ab  
It's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard
         Eb     Bb     Bb7             
And it's a hard rain's ■   a gonna fall
Ab Eb                                  
Oh ■  what did you see my blue eyed son
                                  Bb 
What did you see my darling young one


[Verse]
Eb      Ab7               Eb                   
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves around it
        Ab                       Eb     Eb7  
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
  Ab                      Eb              Eb7     
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
        Ab7          Ab             Eb        Eb7     
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin'
Ab                    Eb                
■  A white ladder all covered with water
      Ab                         Eb                     
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
                     Ab7           Eb                     
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children


[Chorus]
                           Bb7             Eb        Ab
And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard hard ■ 
           Eb      Bb7                
And it's a ■  hard rain's a gonna fall
Ab  Eb Ab Eb                                   
And ■  ■  ■  what did you hear my blue eyed son
                                   Bb7 Bb
What did you hear my darling young one ■ 


[Verse]
            Ab                    Eb                  
I heard the sound of thunder that roared out a warning
          Ab7                       Eb                   
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Ab                               Eb                  
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin'
      Ab7                         Eb              
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
      Ab7                   Eb          Ab7     
Heard ■   one person starve many people laughin'
               Ab            Eb                
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
          Ab                   Eb                
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley


[Chorus]
                           Bb7             Eb        Ab7      
And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard hard hard hard
           Ab Eb   Bb             Ab  
And it's a ■  hard rain's a gonna fall
Eb                                  
Oh who you did meet my blue eyed son


[Verse]
                                  Bb7
Who did you meet my darling young one
      Ab               Eb            Eb7 
I met ■  a young child beside a dead pony
Ab7                       Eb             Eb7
■   I met a white man who walked a black dog
              Ab7        Eb              
I met a young girl whose body was burning
  Ab                Eb        Ab     
A ■  young girl she gave me a rainbow
                      Eb             
I met one man who was wounded in love
Ab                                  Eb7   
■  Another man who was wounded with hatred


[Chorus]
Eb                         Bb7      Eb     Ab  
And it's a hard and it's a hard and it's a hard
    Eb          Bb7                
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
Ab Eb                                    
Oh ■  what'll you do now my blue eyed son
                                    Bb    
What'll you do now my darling young ■  one
Ab                           Eb                 
I'm goin' back out 'fore the rain starts fallin'
Ab                                      Eb    
Walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Ab7                             Ebm7               
Where people are many and their hands are all empty
Ab7   Ab                    Eb       Ebm7      
Where pellets of poison are flooding the waters
          Ab                           Eb               
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
          Ab                    Eb                
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
Ab7                        Eb                 
Where hunger is ugly where souls are forgotten
Ab                           Eb                
Where black is the color and none is the number
         Ab7                      Eb                     
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
    Ab7                                  Eb            Ebm7
And reflect it from the mountains so all souls can see it  
          Ab                 Db      Eb           
Then I'll stand in the ocean until I start sinking
Ab                         Eb                     Bb
But I'll know my song well before I start singing ■ 
Eb Ab     Ab7              Eb                       
■  ■  And it's a hard it's ■  a hard and it's a hard
Bb                       Ab        
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
Eb                          Bb Bb7      Eb     Ab7 
■  And it's a hard and it's a  hard and it's a hard
    Eb        Bb                  Ab  
And ■  it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
Eb                            Bb               Eb       
■  And it's a hard and it's a ■  hard and it's a so hard
Ab       Eb     Bb             Ab   Eb
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall ■
