Blowin' in the Wind - Bob Dylan
C F C
How many roads must a man walk down
C F G
Before you call him a man
C F C
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
F G
Before she sleeps in the sand?
C F C
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannonballs fly
F G
Before they are forever banned?
F G
The answer my friend
C
Is blowin' in the wind
F G C
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?
