Tom: E5
E5 A5 E5
Oh, where have you been, my blue eyed son?
E5 B5
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
A5 E5
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
A5 E5
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
A5 E5
I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
A5 E5
I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
A5 E5
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
E5 B5 E5 A5
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
E5 B5 E5 A5 E5
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
E5 A5 E5
Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son?
E5 B5
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
A5 E5
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
A5 E5
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
A5 E5
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'
A5 E5
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedin'
A5 E5
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
A5 E5
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
A5 E5
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
E5 B5 E5 A5
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
E5 B5 E5 A5 E5
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
E5 A5 E5
And what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
E5 B5
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
A5 E5
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
A5 E5
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
A5 E5
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazin'
A5 E5
Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
A5 E5
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
A5 E5
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
A5 E5
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
E5 B5 E5 A5
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
E5 B5 E5 A5 E5
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
E5 A5 E5
Oh, who did you meet, my blue eyed son?
E5 B5
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
A5 E5
I met a young child beside a dead pony
A5 E5
I met a white man who walked a black dog
A5 E5
I met a young woman whose body was burning
A5 E5
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
A5 E5
I met one man who was wounded in love
A5 E5
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
E5 B5 E5 A5
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
E5 B5 E5 A5 E5
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
E5 A5 E5
Oh, what'll you do now, my blue eyed son?
E5 B5
Oh, what'll you do now, my darling young one?
A5 E5
I'm a goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a fallin'
A5 E5
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
A5 E5
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
A5 E5
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
A5 E5
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
A5 E5
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden
A5 E5
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
A5 E5
Where black is the color, where none is the number
A5 E5
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
A5 E5
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
A5 E5
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin'
A5 E5
But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
E5 B5 E5 A5
And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
E5 B5 E5 A5 E5
And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall
