      E7                       A        E7
Oh, where have you been, my blue eyed son?
      E7                        B
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
       A                       E7
Iʼve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
      A                          E7
Iʼve walked and Iʼve crawled on six crooked highways
       A                       E7
Iʼve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
           A                   E7
Iʼve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
           A                        E7
Iʼve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
            E7                 B           E7               A
And itʼs a hard, and itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard, and itʼs a hard
             E7   B              E7   A  E7
And itʼs a hard rainʼs a gonna fall

Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippinʼ
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a bleedinʼ
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
And itʼs a hard, and itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard
And itʼs a hard rainʼs a gonna fall

And what did you hear, my blue eyed son?
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warninʼ
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a blazinʼ
Heard ten thousand whisperinʼ and nobody listeninʼ
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughinʼ
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And itʼs a hard, and itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard
And itʼs a hard rainʼs a gonna fall

Oh, who did you meet, my blue eyed son?
Who did you meet, my darling young one?
I met a young child beside a dead pony
I met a white man who walked a black dog
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded with hatred
And itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard
Itʼs a hard rainʼs a gonna fall

Oh, whatʼll you do now, my blue eyed son?
Oh, whatʼll you do now, my darling young one?
Iʼm a goinʼ back out ʼfore the rain starts a fallinʼ
Iʼll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
Where the executionerʼs face is always well hidden
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
Where black is the color, where none is the number
And Iʼll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then Iʼll stand on the ocean until I start sinkinʼ
But Iʼll know my song well before I start singinʼ
And itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard, itʼs a hard
Itʼs a hard rainʼs a gonna fall
