Version 1
Blowin' in the Wind - written by Big Bad Bobby Dylan
This version was performed by Joan Baez at Woodstock '69 (I use a capo on the second fret).
[Verse]
G C G Em
How many roads must a man walk down
G C D
Before you call him a man?
G C G Em
How many seas must a white dove sail
G C D
Before she sleeps in the sand?
G C G Em
How many times must the cannonballs fly
G C D
Before they're forever banned?
[Chorus]
C D G/F# Em
The answer my friends is blowing in the wind
C D G
The answer is blowing in the wind
[Verse]
G C G Em
How many years can a mountain exist
G C D
Before it's washed to the sea?
G C G Em
How many years must some people exist
G C D
Before they're allowed to be free?
G C G Em
And how many times can a man turn his head
G C D
And pretend that he just doesn't see? (the answer)
[Chorus]
C D G/F# Em
The answer my friends is blowing in the wind
C D G
The answer is blowing in the wind
[Verse]
G C G Em
How many times can a man look up
G C D
Before he sees the sky?
G C G Em
How many ears must one man have
G C D
Before he can hear people cry?
G C G Em
And how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
G C D
That too many people have died?
[Chorus]
C D G/F# Em
The answer my friends is blowing in the wind
C D Em
The answer is blowing in the wind
C D G/F# Em
Oh the answer my friends is blowing in the wind
C D C G C G (quick-change ending)
The answer is blowing in the wind.............
That's it, y'all! This is the first tab I've even done, so go easy on me!
