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

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 | % |

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

And what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?

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
