Verse 1:
  D MajorD            G+G     D MajorD
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
  D MajorD                  | A augmentedA | Asus4Asus4 | A augmentedA |
And where have you been, my darling young one?
   G+G            D MajorD
I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
   G+G             D MajorD
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways
G+G            D MajorD
Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
   G+G           D MajorD
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
   G+G             D MajorD
Been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
      D MajorD        A augmentedA      D MajorD      G+G
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
    D MajorD  A augmentedA     | D MajorD | % | % | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall

Verse 2:
  D MajorD          G+G     D MajorD
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
  D MajorD                 A augmentedA
And what did you see, my darling young one?
    G+G           D MajorD
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
    G+G            D MajorD
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
 G+G            D MajorD
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin’
    G+G              D MajorD
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin’
 G+G           D MajorD
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
   G+G             D MajorD
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
      D MajorD      A augmentedA      D MajorD      G+G
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
      D MajorD  A augmentedA      | D MajorD | % | % | % |
And it’s a hard rain's gonna fall


Verse 3:
D MajorD           G+G     D MajorD
What did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
  D MajorD                 | A augmentedA | Asus4Asus4 | A augmentedA |
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
      G+G            D MajorD
I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin’
     G+G             D MajorD
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
    G+G             D MajorD
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’
   G+G              D MajorD
Heard ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’
    G+G             D MajorD
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’
     G+G         D MajorD
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
      D MajorD      A augmentedA        D MajorD      G+G
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard
    D MajorD  A augmentedA     | D MajorD | Dsus4Dsus4 | D MajorD | Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 | D MajorD | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall

Verse 4:
D MajorD          G+G     D MajorD
Who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
D MajorD                 A augmentedA
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
 G+G          D MajorD        | D MajorD Dsus2Dsus2 | D MajorD | % |
I met a young child beside a dead pony
 G+G          D MajorD
I met a white man who walked a black dog
 G+G            D MajorD
I met a young woman whose body was burning
 G+G           D MajorD
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
 G+G          D MajorD
I met one man who was wounded in love
 G+G            D MajorD
I met another man who was wounded in hatred
    D MajorD      A augmentedA      D MajorD      G+G
It’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
    D MajorD  A augmentedA     | D MajorD | D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 | D MajorD | Dsus2Dsus2 | D MajorD | Dsus4Dsus4 | D MajorD | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall


Verse 5:
  D MajorD           G+G     D MajorD
And what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
  D MajorD                  | A augmentedA | Asus4Asus4 | A augmentedA | Asus4Asus4 |
And what’ll you do now, my darling young one?
  G+G            D MajorD
I’m goin’ back out ’fore the rain starts a-fallin’
   G+G             D MajorD
I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest
     G+G             D MajorD
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
     G+G           D MajorD
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
     G+G              D MajorD
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
G+G             D MajorD         | D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2 | D MajorD | % |
 The executioner’s face is always well hidden
   G+G           D MajorD
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
   G+G           D MajorD        | D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2 | D MajorD |
Where black is the color and none is the number
     G+G            D MajorD
And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
 G+G             D MajorD        | D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2 | D MajorD | % |
Reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it
     G+G          D MajorD
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’
   G+G          D MajorD
But I know my song well before I start singin’
  D MajorD          A augmentedA      D MajorD      G+G
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
    D MajorD  A augmentedA     | D MajorD | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall
