Blowin' In The Wind

D              G                   A             D
How many roads must a man walk down
D           G             A7
Before you call him a man?
D                 G                A             D
Yes, and how many seas must a white dove sail
Em               A7
Before she sleeps in the sand?
D              G                     A             D
Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly
G          A7
Before they're forever banned?


G                A7          D                Bm7
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
Em             A7             D
The answer is blowin' in the wind.  


D              G                 A            D
How many years can a mountain exist
G                 A7
Before it is washed to the sea?
D              G                 A            D
How many years can some people exist
Em              A7
Before they're allowed to be free.
D               G              A                  D
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
G               A7
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
G          A7
Before he can see the sky?
D                G                A            D
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Em            A7
Before he can hear people cry?
D               G               A                  D
Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows
G                 A7
That too many people have died?



G                A7          D                 Bm7
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind.
