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
How many seas must a white dove sail
Em A7
Before she sleeps in the sand?
D G A D
How many times must the cannon balls fly
G A7
Before they're forever banned?


Chorus:

G A7 D G
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
Em A7 D
The answer is blowing 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
How many times must a man turn his head
G A7
And pretend that he just doesn't see?


Chorus:

G A7 D G
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
Em A7 D
The answer is blowing in the wind.


D G A D
How many times must a man look up
G A7
Before he really sees the sky?
D G A D
Yes, and how many ears must one person 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?


Chorus:

G A7 D G
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
Em A7 D
The answer is blowing in the wind.
