Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
G/D
A/D

I’ve stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
G/D
A/D

I’ve walked and I’ve crawled on six crooked highways
G/D
A/D

I’ve stepped in the middle of seven sad forests
G/D

I’ve been out in front of a dozen dead oceans

I’ve been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard

And it’s a hard, and it’s a hard, it’s a hard, and it’s a hard

It’s a hard rai---n’s a-gonna fall

I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children

I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warnin’
G/D

I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
G/D
A/D
D
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’
G/D
A/D
D
I heard ten thousand whisperin’ and nobody listenin’
G/D
A/D

I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’
G/D

I heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter

G/D
A/D

I’m a-goin’ back out ’fore the rain starts a-fallin’
G/D
A/D
D
I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest dark forest
G/D
A/D
D
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
G/D
A/D
D
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters
G/D
A/D
D
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison
G/D
A/D
D
And the executioner’s face is always well hidden
G/D
A/D
D
Where hunger is ugly, where the souls are forgotten
G/D
A/D
D
Where black is the color, where none is the number
G/D
A/D
D
And I’ll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it
G/D
A/D
D
And reflect from the mountain so all souls can see it
G/D
A/D
D
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’
G/D
A/D
D
But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’
