Bob Dylan – Blowin’ In The Wind (Album: The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan (1963))
D G D
How many roads must a man walk down,
G A
before you can call him a man?
D G D
How many seas must a white dove sail,
Em A7
before she sleeps in the sand?
D G D
Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly,
G A
before they’re forever banned?
C: Em A7 D Bm
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
G A7 D
The answer is blowing in the wind.
D G D
Yes, and how many times must a man look up,
G A
before he can see in the sky?
D G D
Yes, and how many ears must one man have,
Em A7
before he can hear people cry?
D G D
Yes, and how many deaths will it take ’til he knows
G A
that too many people have died? [Chorus]
D G D
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist,
G A
before it’s washed to the sea?
D G D
Yes, and how many years can some people exist,
Em A7
before they’re allowed to be free?
D G D
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head,
G A
pretending he just doesn’t see? [Chorus]
