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  
   Plowmen 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 not talk falsely now—  
Am                G                F           G   Am  
   The hour is getting late.  

Am                G                F           G   Am  
   All along the watchtower  
Am                G                F           G   Am  
   princes 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.
