D        G            D        G
How many roads must a man walk down,
D          G          A
before you call him a man
D        G           D          G
How many seas must a white dove sail,
D           G             A
before she sleeps in the sand
D        G             D              G
how many times must those cannonballs fly,
D              G       A
before they're forever banned

[Chorus]
    G         A        D               Bm
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
    G         A              D
The answer is blowin' in the wind

G  A  G

 [Verse]
D        G            D        G
how many times must a man look up,
D             G       A
before he can see the sky
D        G         D       G
how many ears must one man have,
  D           G           A
before he can hear people cry
    D        G              D            G
and how many deaths will it take till he knows,
    D         G           A
that too many people have died

[Chorus]
G            A          D              Bm
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
   G          A              D
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Bm   G  A  D    G A G

[Verse]
D        G           D         G
how many years can a mountain exist,
  D          G             A
before it is washed to the sea
    D        G              D       G
and how many years can some people exist,
  D              G           A
before they're allowed to be free
         D        G           D            G
ahhh now how many times can a man turn his head,
      D             G            D
and pretend that he just doesn't see

[Chorus]
    G         A         D              Bm
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
   G           A              D
The answer is blowin' in the wind
