Written by Bob Dylan. This is rocking-rebel Irish band, U2's version.
Intro:C#m B A B (Play this throughout every verse of the song) 
C#m B A B
There must be some way out of here  
C#m B A B
Said the joker to the thief  
C#m B A B
There's too much confusion here  
C#m B A B
I can't get no relief  
C#m B A B
Businessmen they drink my wine  
C#m B A B
Plowmen dig my earth  
C#m B A B
None of them know along the line  
C#m B A B
What any of this is worth  
Intro
C#m B A B
No reason to get excited  
C#m B A B
The thief, he kindly spoke  
C#m B A B
There are many here among us  
C#m B A B
Who think that life is but a joke  
C#m B A B
But you and I, we've been through that  
C#m B A B
And that is not our fate  
C#m B A B
So let us not talk falsely now  
C#m B A B
Because the hour is getting late  
C#m B A B
All along the watchtower  
C#m B A B
Princes kept the view  
C#m B A B
While horsemen came and went  
C#m B A B
Barefoot servants too  
 C#m B A B
All I got is a red guitar  
C#m B A B
Three chords  
C#m B A B
And the truth  
 C#m B A B
All I got is a red guitar  
C#m B A B
The rest is up to you  
C#m B A B
There's no reason to get excited  
C#m B A B
The thief, he kindly spoke  
C#m B A B
There are some among us here  
C#m B A B
Say that life is just a joke  
C#m B A B
You and I, we've been through that  
C#m B A B
And that is not our fate (at least today)  
C#m B A B
So let us not talk falsely now  
C#m B A B
Because the hour is getting late  
Late...  
(yeeeaaaaaahhhhhh... :)  
{until end} 
If this is wrong report it. Overall, enjoy!
