D G A D How many roads must a man walk down D G A7 Before you call him a man? D G A D Yes, and how many seas must a white dove sail Em A7 Before she sleeps in the sand? D G A D Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly G A7 Before they're forever banned? G A7 D G The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. Em A7 D The answer is blowin' in the wind. D G A D How many years can a mountain exist G A7 Before it is washed to the sea? D G A D How many years can some people exist Em A7 Before they're allowed to be free. D G A D Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head G A7 And pretend that he just doesn't see? G A7 D G The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. Em A7 D The answer is blowin' in the wind. D G A D How many times must a man look up G A7 Before he can see the sky? D G A D Yes, and how many ears must one man have Em A7 Before he can hear people cry? D G A D Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows G A7 That too many people have died? G A7 D G The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. Em A7 D The answer is blowin' in the wind.
