[E] Oh,x where have you been, my bl[A]uex eyed s[E]on?x
Oh, wh[E]erex have you been, my dar[B]lingx young one?
I've st[A]umbledx on the side of tw[E]elvex misty mountains
I've w[A]alkedx and I've crawled on s[E]ixx crooked highways
I've st[A]eppedx in the middle of s[E]evenx sad forests
I've been o[A]utx in front of a doz[E]enx dead oceans
I've been t[A]enx thousand miles in the [E] mouthx of a graveyard
And it's a h[E]ard,x and it's a ha[B]rd,x it's a h[E]ard,x and it's a [A] hardx
And it's a ha[E]rdx r[B]ain'sx a gonna f[E]allx [A] xxx [E] xxx
Oh, wh[E]atx did you see, my blue ey[A]edx son? [E] xxx
Oh, wh[E]atx did you see, my darlin[B]gxx young one?
I saw a [A] xxx newborn baby with wild [E] wolvesx all around it
I saw a [A] xxx highway of diamonds wit[E]hxx nobody on it
I saw a [A] xxx black branch with blood [E] xxx that kept drippin'
I saw a [A] xxx room full of men with t[E]heirx hammers a bleedin'
I saw a [A] xxx white ladder all covere[E]dxx with water
I saw t[A]enx thousand talkers whos[E]exx tongues were all broken
I saw g[A]unsx and sharp swords in [E] thex hands of young children
And it's a h[E]ard,x and it's a ha[B]rd,x it's a h[E]ard,x and it's a [A] hardx
And it's a ha[E]rdx r[B]ain'sx a gonna f[E]allx [A] xxx [E] xxx
And wh[E]atx did you hear, my blue [A] xxx eyed son [E] xxx ?
And wh[E]atx did you hear, my darli[B]ngx young one?
I heard [A] xxx the sound of a thunder, [E] xxx it roared out a warnin'
Heard t[A]hex roar of a wave that c[E]ouldx drown the whole world
Heard o[A]nex hundred drummers whos[E]exx hands were a blazin'
Heard t[A]enx thousand whisperin' a[E]ndx nobody listenin'
Heard o[A]nex person starve, I hear[E]dxx many people laughin'
Heard t[A]hex song of a poet who di[E]edx in the gutter
Heard t[A]hex sound of a clown who [E] criedx in the alley
And it's a h[E]ard,x and it's a ha[B]rd,x it's a h[E]ard,x and it's a [A] hardx
And it's a ha[E]rdx r[B]ain'sx a gonna f[E]allx [A] xxx [E] xxx
Oh, wh[E]oxx did you meet, my blue [A] eyedx son?[E]xxx
Who di[E]dxx you meet, my darling yo[B]ungx one?
I met a [A] xxx young child beside a de[E]adx pony
I met a [A] xxx white man who walked a [E] blackx dog
I met a [A] xxx young woman whose body [E] wasx burning
I met a [A] xxx young girl, she gave me [E] xxx a rainbow
I met o[A]nex man who was wounded i[E]nxx love
I met a[A]notherx man who was wound[E]edx with hatred
And it's a h[E]ard,x and it's a ha[B]rd,x it's a h[E]ard,x and it's a [A] hardx
And it's a ha[E]rdx r[B]ain'sx a gonna f[E]allx [A] xxx [E] xxx
Oh, wh[E]at'llx you do now, my blu[A]exx eyed so[E]n?x
Oh, wh[E]at'llx you do now, my darl[B]ingx young one?
I'm a g[A]oin'x back out 'fore the [E] rainx starts a fallin'
I'll wa[A]lkx to the depths of the [E] deepestx black forest
Where t[A]hex people are many and t[E]heirx hands are all empty
Where t[A]hex pellets of poison are [E] xxx flooding their waters
Where t[A]hex home in the valley me[E]etsx the damp dirty prison
Where t[A]hex executioner's face is [E] xxx always well hidden
Where h[A]ungerx is ugly, where sou[E]lsx are forgotten
Where b[A]lackx is the color, where [E] xxx none is the number
And I'l[A]lxx tell it and think it a[E]ndx speak it and breathe it
And ref[A]lectx it from the mountai[E]nxx so all souls can see it
Then I'[A]llx stand on the ocean un[E]tilx I start sinkin'
But I'l[A]lxx know my song well befo[E]rex I start singin'
And it's a h[E]ard,x and it's a ha[B]rd,x it's a h[E]ard,x and it's a [A] hardx
And it's a ha[E]rdx r[B]ain'sx a gonna f[E]allx [A] xxx [E] xxx
Enjoy!
