    D  
Where have you been, my blue-eyed son? 
    D                                  A 
Where have you been, my darling young one? 
     G                        D          
Iâ??ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains 
     G                          D          
Iâ??ve walked and Iâ??ve crawled on six crooked highways 
     G                      D          
stepped in the middle of seven sad forests 
     G                   D          
been out in front of a dozen dead oceans 
          G                          D          
Iâ??ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard 
           D                A        
And itâ??s a hard, and itâ??s a hard,  
        D                G 
itâ??s a hard, and itâ??s a hard 
              D    A               G   G/F# G/E   D 
And itâ??s a  hard  rainâ??s a-gonna fall 
 
 
 
    D  
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? 
    D                                   A 
And what did you hear, my darling young one? 
             G                        D          
I heard the sound of a thunder, that roared out a warninâ?? 
            G                        D          
Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world 
          G                        D          
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazinâ?? 
        G                        D          
Heard ten thousand whispering and nobody listenin 
       G                        D          
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughinâ?? 
     G                        D          
the song of a poet who died in the gutter 
     G                      D          
the sound of a clown who cried in the alley 
           D                A    
And itâ??s a hard, and itâ??s a hard,  
         D                               G 
itâ??s a hard, and itâ??s a hard, hard, hard hard 
           D        A             G   G/F# G/E   D 
And itâ??s a hard   rainâ??s a-gonna fall 
 
 
 
 
   D  
Whatâ??ll you do now, my blue-eyed son? 
   D                                   A 
whatâ??ll you do now, my darling young one? 
     G                        D          
Iâ??m a-goinâ?? back out â??fore the rain starts a-falling 
       G                        D          
Iâ??ll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest 
           G                        D          
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty 
         G                        D          
Where  pellets of poison are flooding their waters 
          G                        D          
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison 
     G                        D          
the executionerâ??s face is always well hidden 
       G                        D          
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten 
       G                        D          
Where black is the color, where none is the number 
     G                        D          
And Iâ??ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it 
     G                        D          
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it 
           G                    D          
Then Iâ??ll stand in the ocean until I start sinking 
           G                   D          
But Iâ??ll know my song well before I start singing 
           D                A     
And itâ??s a hard, and itâ??s a hard,  
        D                           G 
itâ??s a hard, and itâ??s a ha ha ha ha hard 
           D        A           G   G/F# G/E   D 
And itâ??s a hard rainâ??s a-gonna fall 
           D                A             
And itâ??s a hard, and itâ??s a hard,  
         D                        G 
itâ??s a hard, and itâ??s so ha so ha hard 
           D        A             G   G/F# G/E   D 
And itâ??s a hard   rainâ??s a-gonna fall
