Am  G  F  C  G  Am

Am                  G
There must be some way out of here
F                       C
Said the joker to the thief
G                          Am
There's too much confusion
Am                     G
I can't get no relief
F                           C
Businessmen, they drink my wine
G                        Am
Plowmen dig my earth
Am                     G
None of them along the line
F                       C
Know what any of it is worth

Am             G
No reason to get excited
F                          C
The thief, he kindly spoke
G                             Am
There are many here among us
Am                      G
Who feel that life is but a joke
F                     C
But you and I, we've been through that
G                          Am
And this is not our fate
Am                    G
So let us not talk falsely now
F                     C
The hour is getting late

Am                  G
All along the watchtower
F                      C
Princes kept the view
G                          Am
While all the women came and went
Am                     G
Barefoot servants too
F                          C
Outside in the cold distance
G                         Am
A wildcat did growl
Am                     G
Two riders were approaching
F                    C
The wind began to howl
