A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall [G] - Bob Dylan / Laura Marling
(Laura Marling's is a heavily abridged version of Dylan's original with some different chords, which have been simplified here for the ukulele.)
[Intro] [G] [D] x2
G C G
Oh, where have you been, my blue eyed son?
G D
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one?
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard
|[Chorus]
| G D G C
|And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
| G D C Cmaj7 G C G
|And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
G C G
Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
G D
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I saw a newborn baby with wolves all around it
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken
|[Chorus]
| G D G C
|And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
| G D C Cmaj7 G C G
|And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
G C G
And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son?
G D
And what did you hear, my darling young one?
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin’
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin’
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin’
|[Chorus]
| G D G C
|And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
| G D C Cmaj7 G C G
|And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
G C G
Oh, what’ll you do now, my blue-eyed son?
G D
Oh, what’ll you do now, my darling young one?
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
I’ll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Where black is the colour, where none is the number
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinking
C Cmaj7 C6 G C G
But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’
|[Chorus]
| G D G C
|And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard
| G D C Cmaj7 G C G
|And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall
