put on a capo 4th fret.

and play the F chords as Fmaj7/C x-3-3-2-1-0)

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

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
[Harmonica]

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
[Harmonica]
