G C D G
How many roads must a man walk down,
C G
before you call him a man

How many seas must a white dove sail,

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

Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows,
C G
that too many people have died
[Chorus]
