A HARD RAIN'S A-GONNA FALL
Bob Dylan
[C][Fmaj7][C]
Oh, [C] where have you [Fmaj7] been, my [C] blue eyed son?
Oh, [C] where have you been, my darling young [G] one?
I've [F] stumbled on the side of [G] twelve misty [C] mountains
I've [F] walked and I've crawled on [G] six crooked [C] highways
I've [F] stepped in the middle of [G] seven sad [C] forests
I've [F] been out in front of a [G] dozen dead [C] oceans
I've been [F] ten thousand miles in the [G] mouth of a [C] graveyard
And it's a [C] hard, and it's a [G] hard, it's a [C] hard, and it's a [F] hard
And it's a [C] hard rain-[G]-'s a gonna [C] fall [Fmaj7][C]
Oh, [C] what did you [Fmaj7] see, my [C] blue eyed son?
Oh, [C] what did you see, my darling young [G] one?
I saw a [F] newborn baby with wild [G] wolves all [C] around it
I saw a [F] highway of diamonds with [G] nobody [C] on it
I [F] saw a black branch with [G] blood that kept [C] drippin'
I saw a [F] room full of men with their [G] hammers a [C] bleedin'
I [F] saw a white ladder all [G] covered with [C] water
I saw [F] ten thousand talkers whose [G] tongues were all [C] broken
I saw [F] guns and sharp swords in the [G] hands of young [C] children
And it's a [C] hard, and it's a [G] hard, it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard
And it's a [C] hard rain-[G]-'s a gonna [C] fall [Fmaj7][C]
[C] And what did you [Fmaj7] hear, my [C] blue eyed son?
And [C] what did you hear, my darling young [G] one?
I heard the [F] sound of a thunder, it [G] roared out a [C] warnin'
Heard the [F] roar of a wave that could [G] drown the whole [C] world
Heard [F] one hundred drummers whose [G] hands were a [C] blazin'
Heard [F] ten thousand whisperin' and [G] nobody [C] listenin'
Heard [F] one person starve, I heard [G] many people [C] laughin'
Heard the [F] song of a poet who [G] died in the [C] gutter
Heard the [F] sound of a clown who [G] cried in the [C] alley
And it's a [C] hard, and it's a [G] hard, it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard
And it's a [C] hard rain-[G]-'s a gonna [C] fall [Fmaj7][C]
Oh, [C] who did you [Fmaj7] meet, my [C] blue eyed son?
[C] Who did you meet, my darling young [G] one?
I [F] met a young child be-[G]-side a dead [C] pony
I [F] met a white man who [G] walked a black [C] dog
I [F] met a young woman whose [G] body was [C] burning
I [F] met a young girl, she [G] gave me a [C] rainbow
I [F] met one man who was [G] wounded in [C] love
I [F] met another man who was [G] wounded with [C] hatred
And it's a [C] hard, and it's a [G] hard, it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard
And it's a [C] hard rain-[G]-'s a gonna [C] fall [Fmaj7][C]
Oh, [C] what'll you do [Fmaj7] now, my [C] blue eyed son?
Oh, [C] what'll you do now, my darling young [G] one?
I'm a [F] goin' back out 'fore the [G] rain starts a [C] fallin'
I'll [F] walk to the depths of the [G] deepest black [C] forest
Where the [F] people are many and their [G] hands are all [C] empty
Where the [F] pellets of poison are [G] flooding their [C] waters
Where the [F] home in the valley meets the [G] damp dirty [C] prison
Where the [F] executioner's face is [G] always well [C] hidden
Where [F] hunger is ugly, where [G] souls are for-[G]-gotten
Where [F] black is the color, where [G] none is the [C] number
And I'll [F] tell it and think it and [G] speak it and [C] breathe it
And [F] reflect it from the mountain so [G] all souls can [C] see it
Then I'll [F] stand on the ocean un-[G]-til I start [C] sinkin'
But I'll [F] know my song well be-[G]-fore I start [C] singin'
And it's a [C] hard, and it's a [G] hard, it's a [C] hard, it's a [F] hard
And it's a [C] hard rain-[G]-'s a gonna [C] fall [Fmaj7][C]
