Blowing in the Wind
Bob Dylan, 1962· Songs Well-Known in America · p.35
D G D
How many roads must a man walk down,
How many times must a man look up,
How many years can a mountain exist,
G D A
Before you call him a man?
Before he can see the sky?
Before it is washed to the sea?
A7 D G D
Yes, and how many seas must a white dove sail,
Yes, and how many ears must one man have,
Yes, and how many years can some people exist,
G A A7
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Before he can hear people cry?
Before they’re allowed to be free?
D G D
Yes,’n’ how many times must the cannon balls fly
Yes,’n’ how many deaths will it take ‘til he knows
Yes,’n’ how many times can a man turn his head
G A A7
Before they’re for-ever banned?
That too many people have died?
Pretending he just doesn’t see?
G A7 D
The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind,
G A7 D
The answer is blowing in the wind.
(After last verse only)
G A D
The answer is blowing in the wind.
