    E                       A         E
Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
    E                                     B
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
     A                       B            E
I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
     A                          B           E
I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways
     A                        B         E
I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
     A                      B          E
I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans
          A                         B          E
I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
           E                B            E                A
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard
       E        B              E :
It’s a hard rai---n’s a-gonna fall

Verse: 2
    E                    A         E
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
    E                                  B
And what did you see, my darling young one?
        A                      B           E
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
        A                        B      E
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
  A                       B               E
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin’
        A                           B         E
I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin’
  A                      B            E
I saw a white ladder all covered with water
      A                          B                E
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
      A                            B              E
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children
           E                B            E                A
And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard
           E        B              E :
And it’s a hard rai---n’s a-gonna fall

And what did you hear, my darling young one?
            A                       B            E
I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin’
            A                         B               E
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
        A                          B            E
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’
        A                           B      E
I heard ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’
        A                          B           E
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’
            A                  B           E
I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
            A                    B            E
I heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
           E            B            E            A
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
       E        B              E :
It’s a hard rai---n’s a-gonna fall

I met a young child beside a dead pony
  A                   B              E
I met a white man who walked a black dog

I met a young woman whose body was burning
  A                     B         E
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow

I met one man who was wounded in love
  A                       B          E
I met another man who was wounded in hatred

Verse: 5
     E                      A        | E | A | E | % |
And, what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
     E                                    B
And, what’ll you do now, my darling young one?
      A                        B             E
I’m a-goin’ back out ’fore the rain starts a-fallin’
     A                         B            E
I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest
          A                         B             E
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
          A                     B              E
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
          A                            B          E
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
        A                     B            E
And the executioner’s face is always well hidden
      A                         B            E
Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten
      A                         B           E
Where black is the color, where none is the number
         A                        B            E
And I’ll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it
    A                            B             E
And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it
          A                    B           E
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’
         A                   B            E
But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’
           E            B            E                A
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard
           E        B              E :
It’s a hard rai---n’s a-gonna fall
