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 
Am                G                F           G   Am 
   Know what any of it is worth 
Am                G                F           G   Am 
   No reason to get excited 
Am                G                F           G   Am 
   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 


Enjoy!
