B         E            F#       G#m B           E          B
How many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man?
          E           F#         G#m B            E            F#
How many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand?
         B        E              F#          G#m B                 E        B
Yes and how many times must the cannon balls fly before they're forever banned?

Chorus:
    E           F#        B             G#m
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
    E           F#            B
The answer is blowing in the wind

E F# B G#m E F# B

How many years can a mountain exist before
it is washed to the sea?
Yes and how many years can some people
exist before they're allowed to be free?
Yes and how many times can a man turn
his head pretending that he just didn't see?

Chorus

E F# B G#m E F# B

Yes and how many times must a man look up
before he can see the sky?
Yes and how many ears must one man have
before he can hear people cry?
Yes and how many deaths will it take till
he knows that too many people have died?

Chorus
