All
Along The Watchtower
- Bob Dylan
[riff for entire song is:]
Am G F G
"There must be some kind of way out of
here," said the joker to the thief.
"There's too much confusion. I can't get no relief.
Businessmen they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth.
None of them along the line know what any of it is
worth."
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he
kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life
is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that and this is
not our fate.
So let us not talk falsely now the hour is getting
late."
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view.
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants,
too.
But outside in the cold distance a wildcat did growl.
Two riders were approaching and the wind began
to howl. |
