Blowin' in the wind

Key C

Great song! enjoy it!

How many roads must a man walk down
6 6 6 -6 6 -5 6 5 -4 4

Before you call him a man?
5 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 6

Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
5 -5 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 6 5 -4 4

Before she sleeps in the sand?
5 6 5 -5 -5 5 -4


Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
5 -5 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 6 5 -4 4

Before they're forever banned?
5 6 6 6 -6 6 -5 6

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 5 5 -4 4

The answer is blowin' in the wind.
5 -5 -5 5 -4 -4 4 -3 4

Solo : -5 5 -4 5 -4 4 -5 6 -5 4 -5 4
or : -5 5 -4 5 -4 4 -5 5 -5 4 -5 4

How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

L'estaca

Key C

This is another of my own tabs. L'estaca is a song composed by the Catalan artist Lluís Llach in 1968 and translated into several languages. It's a protest song and a call for unity of action to achieve freedom. Enjoy it!


-6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7’ -6'
L'avi Siset em parlava

7 7 7 7 -7’ -6 -7’__-7
de bon matí al portal

-6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7’ -6’
mentre el sol esperàvem

-6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 -6’__-6
i els carros vèiem passar.

----

-6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7’ -6’
Siset, que no veus l'estaca

7 7 7 7 -7’ -6 -7’_-7
on estem tots lligats?

-6 -6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7’ -6’
Si no podem desfer-nos-en

-6 -6 -6 6 -5 6 -6’__-6
mai no podrem caminar!

####

7’ -7’ -6’ 5 6 -7’ 6 -6’
Si estirem tots, ella caurà

7 -7 -6 5 6 -7’ 6 -6’
i molt de temps no pot durar,

-6 -7 7 -8 -7__-7 -8 -7 8 7__7
segur que tomba, tomba, tomba

-7 -6 5 6 -7’ 6 -6’
ben corcada deu ser ja.

---

7’ -7’ -6’ 5 6 -7’ 6 -6’
Si jo l'estiro fort per aquí

7 -7 -6 5 6 -7’ 6 -6'
i tu l'estires fort per allà,

-6 -7 7 -8 -7__-7 -8 -7 8 7__7
segur que tomba, tomba, tomba,

-7 -6 5 6 -7’ 6 -6’
i ens podrem alliberar.

####

Però, Siset, fa molt temps ja,
les mans se'm van escorxant,
i quan la força se me'n va
ella és més ampla i més gran.

Ben cert sé que està podrida
però és que, Siset, pesa tant,
que a cops la força m'oblida.
Torna'm a dir el teu cant:

Si estirem tots, ella caurà...

Si jo l'estiro fort per aquí...

L'avi Siset ja no diu res,
mal vent que se l'emportà,
ell qui sap cap a quin indret
i jo a sota el portal.

I mentre passen els nous vailets
estiro el coll per cantar
el darrer cant d'en Siset,
el darrer que em va ensenyar.

Si estirem tots, ella caurà...

Si jo l'estiro fort per aquí...
