View Guitar Chords for A hard rains a gonna fall - chords ver. 4
I was just listening to Greatest Hits Vol II I believe this is really it, although old Bobbie changed many things from performance to performance and not just the words. This is an easy song and sounds great. The only chords are D, A and G with the hammer on suspensions, Dsus4 and (what we'll call) Asus. Dsus4: xx0233 Asus: x02230 Just drop your pinky on the "D" chord (hammer on) to hit this chord easily. Do the same with the "A" chord. PLAY THIS SONG WITH A CAPO ON THE FIRST FRET, then it will sound note-for-note dude. (this really makes the D an E but pay no attention to that) I think the song is in 3/4 time and he strums down and up 1/8 notes constantly except for the hammer on beats in the intro and in the last measure of each line. So it would be three down and up strums and then a down, hammer on the finger and two more down and ups. He also sings the first word (sometimes more) of each line at the end of of the last so the first downbeat is on the second (or third) word, listen or try it and you will see. The only other caveat which you can ignore if you want is that he sets up going into each verse in the last measure with a a quick G chord for one strum back to the D for the remainder of the measure Intro D Dsus4 D D Dsus4 D VerseOh Dwhere have been my Gblue eyed DsonDsus4' D And Dwhere have you been my Gdarling young AoneAsus' AI Gstumbled on the sides of Atwelve misty DmouDsus4ntains D I Gwalked and I crawled on Asix crooked DhigDsus4hways D I've Gstepped in the middle of Aseven sad DforDsus4ests D I Gbeen out in front of a Adozen dead DoceDsus4ans D I've Gbeen ten thousand miles in the Amouth of a DgraDsus4veyard DChorusAnd it's a Dhard And it's a Ahard And it's a Dhard And it's a Ghard D A D Dsus D D (1 measure) G (1 strum) D And it's a hard rain's a gonna fall Note: hold "rain's" for 2/3s of the A measure
