[Verse 1]
A        D            A        F#m
How many roads must a man walk down
  A            D          A
Before you can call him a man?
A        D           A          F#m
How many seas must a white dove sail
  A         D            E
Before she sleeps in the sand?
      A        D              A            F#m
Yes’n how many times must the cannon balls fly
  A               D    A
Before they're forever banned?


[Chorus]
    D         E         A              F#m
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
    D         E              A
The answer is blowing in the wind


[Verse 2]
A        D            A        F#m
How many times must a man look up
  A           D       A
Before he can see the sky?
A        D         A       F#m
How many ears must one man have
  A           D           E7
Before he can hear people cry?
      A        D              A            F#m
Yes’n how many deaths will it take till he knows
     A        D            A
That too many people have died?


[Chorus]
    D         E         A              F#m
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
    D         E              A
The answer is blowing in the wind


[Verse 3]
A        D           E         F#m
How many years can a mountain exist
  A          D             A
Before it is washed to the seas? (sea)
A        D                      F#m
How many years can some people exist
  A              D           E7
Before they're allowed to be free?
A        D           A            F#m
How many times can a man turn his head
   A            D            A
Pretend that he just doesn't see? (see)



[Chorus]
    D         E         A              F#m
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind
    D         E              A
The answer is blowing in the wind (fast fade out)
