A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall:
EOh, where have you been, my blAue eyed sEon?
Oh, whEere have you been, my darBling young one?
I've stAumbled on the side of twEelve misty mountains
I've wAalked and I've crawled on sEix crooked highways
I've stAepped in the middle of sEeven sad forests
I've been oAut in front of a dozEen dead oceans
I've been tAen thousand miles in the Emouth of a graveyard
And it's a hEard, and it's a haBrd, it's a hEard, and it's a Ahard
And it's a haErd rBain's a gonna fEall A E
Oh, whEat did you see, my blue eyAed son? E
Oh, whEat did you see, my darlinBg young one?
I saw aA newborn baby with wild Ewolves all around it
I saw aA highway of diamonds witEh nobody on it
I saw aA black branch with bloodE that kept drippin'
I saw aA room full of men with tEheir hammers a bleedin'
I saw aA white ladder all covereEd with water
I saw tAen thousand talkers whosEe tongues were all broken
I saw gAuns and sharp swords in Ethe hands of young children
And it's a hEard, and it's a haBrd, it's a hEard, and it's a Ahard
And it's a haErd rBain's a gonna fEall A E
And whEat did you hear, my blueA eyed sonE?
And whEat did you hear, my darliBng young one?
I heardA the sound of a thunder,E it roared out a warnin'
Heard tAhe roar of a wave that cEould drown the whole world
Heard oAne hundred drummers whosEe hands were a blazin'
Heard tAen thousand whisperin' aEnd nobody listenin'
Heard oAne person starve, I hearEd many people laughin'
Heard tAhe song of a poet who diEed in the gutter
Heard tAhe sound of a clown who Ecried in the alley
And it's a hEard, and it's a haBrd, it's a hEard, and it's a Ahard
And it's a haErd rBain's a gonna fEall A E
Oh, whEo did you meet, my blue Aeyed son?E
Who diEd you meet, my darling yoBung one?
I met aA young child beside a deEad pony
I met aA white man who walked a Eblack dog
I met aA young woman whose body Ewas burning
I met aA young girl, she gave meE a rainbow
I met oAne man who was wounded iEn love
I met aAnother man who was woundEed with hatred
And it's a hEard, and it's a haBrd, it's a hEard, and it's a Ahard
And it's a haErd rBain's a gonna fEall A E
Oh, whEat'll you do now, my bluAe eyed soEn?
Oh, whEat'll you do now, my darlBing young one?
I'm a gAoin' back out 'fore the Erain starts a fallin'
I'll waAlk to the depths of the Edeepest black forest
Where tAhe people are many and tEheir hands are all empty
Where tAhe pellets of poison areE flooding their waters
Where tAhe home in the valley meEets the damp dirty prison
Where tAhe executioner's face isE always well hidden
Where hAunger is ugly, where souEls are forgotten
Where bAlack is the color, whereE none is the number
And I'lAl tell it and think it aEnd speak it and breathe it
And refAlect it from the mountaiEn so all souls can see it
Then I'All stand on the ocean unEtil I start sinkin'
But I'lAl know my song well befoEre I start singin'
And it's a hEard, and it's a haBrd, it's a hEard, and it's a Ahard
And it's a haErd rBain's a gonna fEall A E

Talkin' World War III Blues:
This song is written after Bob Dylan experienced a bad dream about World War III. Very
that there will be a 3rd one anyway so don't worry.
Intro: D, G, E, G.
GSome time ago a crazy dream came to me,
I dreamt I was waDlkin' into World War EThreGe,
DI went to the doctor the very next day
To see what kinda words he could say.
GHe said it was a bad dream.
DI wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though,
They were my own dreams and they're only in my head.
E, G, D, E, G
GI said, "Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain."
He said,D "Nurse, get your pad, this boy's insanEe,&Gquot;
DHe grabbed my arm, I said "Ouch!"
As I landed on the psychiatric couch,
He said, "G;Tell me about it."
E, G, D, E, G
GWell, the whole thing started at 3 o'clock fast,
It was all over by Dquarter past.E G
DI was down in the sewer with some little lover
When I peeked out from a manhole cover E G
DWondering who turned the lights on.
E, G, D, E, G,
GWell, I got up and walked around
And upD and down the lonesome town. E G
DI stood a-wondering which way to go,
I lit a cigarette on a parking meter
And walked on down the rEoad. G
DIt was a normal day.
E, G, D, E, G
GWell, I rung the fallout shelter bell
And I leaned my head and I gave a yell,
D"Give me a string bean, I'm a hungry man."
A shotgun fired and away I ran.
I don't blame them too much though,
GI know I look funny.
E, G, D, E, G
GDown at the corner by a hot-dog stand
I seen a man, I said, "Howdy friend,
I guess there's just us two."
He screamed a bit and away he fleEw. G
DThought I was a Communist.
E, G, D, E, G
GWell, I spied a girl and before she could leave,
D"Let's go and play Adam and EvEe.&Gquot;
DI took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'
When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpiEn', G
DYou see what happened last time they started."
E, G, D, E, G X3
GWell, I seen a Cadillac window uptown
DAnd there was nobody aroun'E, G
DI got into the driver's seat
And I drove 42nd Street
DIn my Cadillac.
Good car to drive after a war.
E, G, D, E, G X3
GWell, I remember seein' some ad,
DSo I turned on my Conelrad. E G
DBut I didn't pay my Con Ed bill, E G
So the radio didn't work so well.
DTurned on my player-
It was Rock-A-Day, Johnny singin',
"Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa,
Our Loves Are Gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah."
E, G, D, E, G X3
GI was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue,
DI needed somebody to talk to. E G
DSo I called up the operator of time
Just to hear a voice of some kind. E G
D"When you hear the beep
It will be three o'clock,"
She said that for over an hour
And I hung it up.
E, G, D, E, G X3
GWell, the doctor interrupted me just about then,
DSayin, "Hey I've been havin' the same old dreaEms,G
DBut mine was a little different you see.
I dreamt that the only person left after the war was meE. G
DI didn't see you around."
E, G, D, E, G X3
GWell, now time passed and now it seems
DEverybody's having them dreams.E G
DEverybody sees themselves walkin' around with no one else.
Half of the people can be part right all of the time,
Some of the people can be all right part of the time.
But all the people can't be all right all the time
I think Abraham Lincoln said that.
D"I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yourEs,G"
I said that.
E, G, D, E, G X3

I Shall Be Free:
Intro: G, G, G, G , C ,G, C, C, G X2
DWell, I took me a woman late last night,
I's three-fourths drunk, she looked uptight.
She took off her wheel, took off her bell,
Took off her wig, said, "How do I smell?"
I hot-footed it . . . bare-naked . . .
Out the window!
Intro
GWell, sometimes I might get drunk,
Walk like a duck and stomp like a skunk.
Don't hurt me none, don't hurt my pride
'Cause I got my little lady right by my side.
(Right there
Proud as can be)
Intro
DI's out there paintin' on the old woodshed
When a can a black paint it fell on my head.
I went down to scrub and rub
But I had to sit in back of the tub.
(Cost a quarter
And I had to get out quick . . .
Someone wanted to come in and take a sauna)
Intro
GWell, my telephone rang it would not stop,
It's President Kennedy callin' me up.
He said, "My friend, Bob, what do we need to make the country grow?"
I said, "My friend, John, Brigitte Bardot,
Anita Ekberg,
Sophia Loren."
(Put 'em all in the same room with Ernest Borgnine!)
Intro
DWell, I got a woman sleeps on a cot,
She yells and hollers and squeals a lot.
Licks my face and tickles my ear,
Bends me over and buys me beer.
(She's a honeymooner
A June crooner
A spoon feeder
And a natural leader)
intro
GOh, there ain't no use in me workin' so heavy,
I got a woman who works on the levee.
Pumping that water up to her neck,
Every week she sends me a monthly check.
(She's a humdinger
Folk singer
Dead ringer
For A thing-A-muh jigger)
intro
DLate one day in the middle of the week,
Eyes were closed I was half asleep.
I chased me a woman up the hill,
Right in the middle of an air raid drill.
It was Little Bo Peep!
(I jumped a fallout shelter
I jumped a bean stalk
I jumped a ferris wheel)
intro
GNow, the man on the stand he wants my vote,
He's a-runnin' for office on the ballot note.
He's out there preachin' in front of the steeple,
Tellin' me he loves all kinds-a people.
(He's eatin' bagels
He's eatin' pizza
He's eatin' chitlins
He's eatin' bullshit!)
intro
DOh, set me down on a television floor,
I'll flip the channel to number four.
Out of the shower comes a grown-up man
With a bottle of hair oil in his hand.
(It's that greasy kid stuff.
What I want to know, Mr. Football Man, is
What do you do about Willy Mays and Yul Brynner,
Charles de Gaulle
And Robert Louis Stevenson?)
intro
GWell, the funniest woman I ever seen
Was the great-granddaughter of Mr. Clean.
She takes about fifteen baths a day,
Wants me to grow a cigar on my face.
(She's a little bit heavy!)
intro
DWell, ask me why I'm drunk alla time,
It levels my head and eases my mind.
I just walk along and stroll and sing,
I see better days and I do better things.
(I catch dinosaurs
I make love to Elizabeth Taylor . . .
Catch hell from Richard Burton!)
Enjoy!
Note: Some songs might be wrong but do let the office know. Overall, enjoy!
