[INTRO]

 

|Am  G  |F   G   |

 

[VERSE 1]

 

Am             G        F           G

 There must be some way out of here

Am        G            F         G

 Said the joker to the thief

Am           G       F     G

 There's too much confusion

Am       G       F     G

 I can't get no relief

Am        G       F            G

 Business men they drink my wine

Am       G     F      G

 Plowmen dig my earth

Am       G    F             G

 None of them along the line

Am         G            F     G

 Know what any of it is worth

 

[INTERLUDE]

 

|Am  G  |F   G   | (x4)

 

[VERSE 2]

 

Am         G        F   G

 No reason to get excited

Am           G       F     G

 The thief he kindly spoke

Am         G          F        G

 There are many here among us

Am             G             F      G

 Who feel that life is but a joke

Am           G       F                 G

 But you and I we've been through that

Am          G        F      G

 And this is not our fate

Am         G        F           G

 So let us not talk falsely now

Am          G        F      G

 The hour is getting late

 

[INTERLUDE]

 

|Am  G  |F   G   | (x4)

 

[VERSE 3]

 

Am    G       F       G

 All along the watchtower

Am          G         F      G

 The princes kept the view

Am             G     F            G

 While all the women came and went,

Am        G         F      G

 Barefoot servants, too.

Am       G     F      G

 Outside in the distance

Am      G      F    G

 A wild cat did growl

Am          G    F          G

 Two riders were approaching

Am         G      F    G

 The wind began to howl

 

[INTERLUDE]

 

|Am  G  |F   G   | (x4)
