A Hard Rain's A

==

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

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

Oh, [E]who did you meet, my blue [A]eyed [E]son?
Who [E]did you meet, my darling [B]young one?
I met a [A]young child beside a [E]dead pony
I met a [A]white man who walked a [E]black dog
I met a [A]young woman whose body [E]was burning
I met a [A]young girl, she gave me [E]a rainbow
I met [A]one man who was wounded [E]in love
I met [A]another man who was [E]wounded with hatred
And it's a [E]hard, and it's a [B]hard, it's a [E]hard, and it's a [A]hard
And it's a [E]hard [B]rain's a gonna [E][A][E]fall

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