[Intro]
[Verse]
G        C            D        G 
How many roads must a man walk down,
           C          G 
before you call him a man
G        C           D          G 
How many seas must a white dove sail,
           C             D 
before she sleeps in the sand
         G        C              D           G 
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly,
               C       G 
before they're forever banned.
[Chorus]
C            D        G                C 
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
              D              G 
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

[Verse]
         G        C           D         G 
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist,
             C             G 
before it is washed to the sea
         G        C              D      G 
Yes, and how many years can some people exist,
               C             D 
before they're allowed to be free
         G        C           D            G 
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head,
                     C           G 
and pretend that he just doesn't see.
[Chorus]
C            D        G                C 
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
              D              G 
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

[Verse]
         G        C            D        G 
Yes, and how many times must a man look up,
              C       G 
before he can see the sky
         G        C         D       G 
Yes, and how many ears must one man have,
              C           D 
before he can hear people cry
         G        C              D            G 
Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows,
              C           G 
that too many people have died.
[Chorus]
C            D          G              C 
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
              D              G 
The answer is blowin' in the wind
