[Intro]
G
Am G F G x4
[Verse 1]
Am G F G
There must be some kind of 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, 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.
[Solo 1]
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 stop talking falsely now -
Am G F G
The hour is getting late.
[Solo 2]
Am G F G x16
[Verse 3]
Am G F G
All along the watchtower
Am G F G
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 cold distance
Am G F G
a wildcat did growl.
Am G F G
Two riders were approaching
Am G F G
and the wind began to howl.
[Outro] (with ad-lib vocals)
Am G F G x9
