       F7               Bb7        F7
Oh, where have you been, my blue eyed son?
      F7                Bb7               C7
Where have you been, my darling young one?
       Bb7                    C7                F7
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
      Bb7                     C7                F7
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
      Bb7                     C7                F7
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
        Bb7
                    C7                F7
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
            F7            C7                    F7                    Bb7
And it's a hard,     and it's a hard,    it's a hard,   and it's a hard
             F7                     C7           F7
And it's a hard rain's      gonna fall

F7  x4

      F7 Bb7        F7
Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son?
      F7                 Bb7             C7
What did you see, my darling young one?
        Bb7               C7                F7
I saw a black branch with blood that kept dripping
        Bb7               C7                F7
I saw a room full of men with their hammers bleeding
        Bb7               C7           F7
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
        Bb7               C7                   F7
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
     F7                     C7                    F7                       Bb7
And it's a hard,     and it's a hard,    it's a hard,   ohhh  it's a hard
 F7                     C7           F7
And it's a hard rain's        gonna fall

F7  x4

      F7                Bb7             F7
Tell me what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
      F7                 Bb7              C7
What did you hear, my darling young one?
        Bb7              C7                F7
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazing
        Bb7               C7             F7
Ten thousand whispering and nobody listening
        Bb7               C7                F7
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughing
        Bb7               C7            F7
I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
 F7                        C7                      F7                       Bb7
And it's a hard,     and it's a hard,    it's a hard,   ohhh  it's a hard
     F7            C7           F7
And it's a hard rain's        gonna fall

F7  x4

     F7                    Bb7             F7
Well, what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
      F7                  Bb7              C7
What'll you do now, my darling young one?
        Bb7                     C7               F7
Well I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
        Bb7                     C7                 F7
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
        Bb7                     C7                F7
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
        Bb7                     C7             F7
 Where hunger is ugly, and the souls are forgotten

    F7                     C7                    F7                  Bb7
And it's a hard,     and it's a hard,    it's a hard,   ohhh  it's a hard
    F7                     C7           F7
And it's a hard rain's        gonna fall

F7 (many bars fadig)
