The greatest tune EVER?

Thu Jul 22, 2010 12:37 am

A simple tune that has been covered by just about every person that ever picked up a guitar. Can the words be bettered?

Here's old Bob with Joan..

The words......

How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Off the top of my head I think the chords are D G D G (some weird A cord, a twelfe or something) A D G D Full C then the funny A chord, The chorus bit is very simple G A D F#m (tidy that) Bm G A D
