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]
