Blowin In The Wind

Bob Dylan

 DGDG
 How many roads must a man walk down

 DGAA7
 Before ya call him a man

 DGD
 How many seas must the White Dove sail

 DGD
 Before she sleeps in the sands

Chorus:
 GA
The answer my friend

 DBm
 Is blowin in the wind

 GAD
 The answer is blowin in the wind

2. How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before their allowed to be free yesin
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesnt see
Chorus
3. How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many ears can one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED

Chorus
The answer is blowin' in the wind

this song seems to be played here in the wrong key as I have played it starting with C then to F back to C and ending on G, I am not a music teacher I just have a good ear.
Bodge (report comment to admin):
It should be G,C,D

Try playing. A D E  to me it sounds better
Buzzwagon (report comment to admin):
The chords at the end of the first verse should go "Is Blowin' in the wind" G, F#/G, Em

Great song for bar chord and key change practice. Bar position for chords shown above...


G: 3 5 5 4 3 3
C: 3 3 5 5 5 3
D: 5 5 7 7 7 5

Now you can easily change keys by sliding it up and down the neck.

Tip: Play C and D with two fingers; index @ bar position & ring finger! It may sound funny at first but keep at it and you'll find the 'sweet spot'. My hands and fingers are 'average', you don't need Hendrix claws to do it!

This is pretty good but sounds even better with capo on 7th fret
ejohn (report comment to admin):
The first verse should be


G, C, G, C;
G, C, D.

Then repeat for all versus.

Chorus is, (beginning with "The answer my friend is . . . ");

C, D, G, Em;
C, D, G.

Very, very simple as folk is intened to be and Dylan followed.

g,c,g,em

g,c,d


c,d,g,em
c,d,g

this is the right way
