A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall
From memory Bryan Ferry does it in Eb, (he's a piano player after all)
but it's easier to play in E on the guitar (which is probably what Bob did)

Oh
E
where have you been my blue eyed son, Oh
where have you been my darling young 

B
one?                       I've

A                          E
Stumbled on the side of    twelve misty mountains,  I've 
Walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways  I've
Stepped in the middle of   seven sad forests       I've
Been out in front of a     dozen dead oceans     I've been 
Ten thousand miles in the  mouth of a graveyard

E                              B 
And it's a hard     and it's a hard         It's a
E                              A
Hard                and it's a hard      and it's a
E                B             E          A       E
Hard rain's............a gonna fall.......
