How many roads must a man walk down
F                     G7
Before you call him a man
C                F           C          Am

Before she sleeps in the sand

Yes and how many times must the cannon balls fly
F                      G7
Before they're forever banned
F          G7           C              Am
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
F             G7             C
The answer is blowing in the wind

F                              C
How many times must a man look up
F                 G7
Before he can see the sky
C                F         C       Am
Yes and how many ears must one man have
C             F           G7
Before he can hear people cry

Verse 4

C                F                           C
Yes and how many deaths will it take till we know
F                         G7
That too many people have died
F          G7           C              Am
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
F             G7             C
The answer is blowing in the wind

Verse 5

F                             C
How many years can a mountain exist
F                         G7
Before it's washed to the sea
C                F         C           Am
Yes and how many years can some people exist
C              F             G7
Before they're allowed to be free

Verse 6

C                F                        C
Yes and how many times can a man turn his head
F                          G7
Pretending he just doesn't see
F          G7           C              Am
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
F             G7             C
The answer is blowing in the wind
