Verse 1:
    D                       G         D
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
    D                                    | A | Asus4 | A |
And where have you been, my darling young one?
     G                       D
I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
     G                          D
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways
G                        D
Stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
     G                      D
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
     G                         D
Been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
           D                A            D            G
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
       D    A          | D | % | % | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall

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


Verse 3:
D                     G         D
What did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
    D                                  | A | Asus4 | A |
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
            G                       D
I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin’
          G                         D
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
        G                          D
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’
      G                           D
Heard ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’
        G                          D
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’
          G                  D
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
           D            A               D            G
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard
       D    A         | D | Dsus4 | D | Dsus4 D Dsus2 | D | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall


Verse 4:
D                    G         D
Who did you meet, my blue-eyed son?
D                                  A
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
  G                   D                | D  Dsus2 | D | % |
I met a young child beside a dead pony
  G                   D
I met a white man who walked a black dog
  G                       D
I met a young woman whose body was burning
  G                     D
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
  G                   D
I met one man who was wounded in love
  G                       D
I met another man who was wounded in hatred
       D            A            D            G
It’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
       D    A          | D | D  Dsus4 | D | Dsus2 | D | Dsus4 | D | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall


Verse 5:
    D                      G         D
And what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
    D                                   | A | Asus4 | A | Asus4 |
And what’ll you do now, my darling young one?
    G                        D
I’m goin’ back out ’fore the rain starts a-fallin’
     G                         D
I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest
          G                         D
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
          G                     D
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
          G                            D
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
G                          D                 | D   Dsus2 | D | % |
 The executioner’s face is always well hidden
      G                     D
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
      G                      D               | D   Dsus2 | D |
Where black is the color and none is the number
         G                        D
And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
  G                          D                | D   Dsus2 | D | % |
Reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it
          G                    D
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’
      G                   D
But I know my song well before I start singin’
    D                   A            D            G
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
       D    A          | D | % |
It’s a hard rain gonna fall
