Joan Baez, born on January 9th, 1941, is an American folk singer and a songwriter who is of mixed Mexican and Scottish descent. Baez rose to prominence in the early '60s with her stunning renditions of traditional balladry.
In the late '60s and early '70s, Baez came into her songwriting own, penning many songs (most notably "Diamonds & Rust," a nostalgic piece about her ill-fated romance with Bob Dylan, and "Sweet Sir Galahad," a song about sister Mimi Fariña's ( of Richard & Mimi Fariña fame) second marriage

[Verse] GCGEm How many roads must a man walk down GCD Before you call him a man? GCGEm How many seas must a white dove sail GCD Before she sleeps in the sand? GCGEm How many times must the cannonballs fly GCD Before they're forever banned?
[Chorus] CDG/F#Em The answer my friends is blowing in the wind CDG The answer is blowing in the wind
[Verse] GCGEm How many years can a mountain exist GCD Before it's washed to the sea? GCGEm How many years must some people exist GCD Before they're allowed to be free? GCGEm And how many times can a man turn his head GCD And pretend that he just doesn't see? (the answer)
[Chorus] CDG/F#Em The answer my friends is blowing in the wind CDG The answer is blowing in the wind
[Verse] GCGEm How many times can a man look up GCD Before he sees the sky? GCGEm How many ears must one man have GCD Before he can hear people cry? GCGEm And how many deaths will it take 'til he knows GCD That too many people have died?
[Chorus] CDG/F#Em The answer my friends is blowing in the wind CDEm The answer is blowing in the wind CDG/F#Em Oh the answer my friends is blowing in the wind CDCGCG (quick-change ending) The answer is blowing in the wind.............
