Am G F G Am

There must be some kind of way out of here

Am G F G Am

Said the joker to the thief

Am G F G Am

There's too much confusion

Am G F G Am

I can't get no relief

Am G F G Am

Business men they drink my wine

Am G F G Am

Plow men dig my earth

Am G F G Am

None of them along the line

Know what any of it is worth

Am G F G Am

No reason to get excited

The thief he kindly spoke

Am G F G Am

There are many here among us

Am G F G Am

Who feel that life is but a joke

Am G F G Am

But you and I we've been through that

Am G F G Am

And this is not our fate

Am G F G Am

So let us stop talking falsely now

Am G F G Am

The hour's getting late

Am G F G Am

All along the watchtower

Am G F G Am

Princess kept the view

Am G F G Am

While all the women came and went

Am G F G Am

Barefoot servants too

Am G F G Am

Outside in the cold distance

Am G F G Am

A wildcat did growl

Am G F G Am

Two riders were approaching

Am G F G Am

And the wind began to howl

Am G F G Am

All along the watchtower

Am G F G Am

All along the watchtower

Am G F G Am

All along the watchtower
