"There must be some way out of here"
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
Said the joker to the thief
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
"There's just too much confusion
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
I can't get no relief
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
Businessmen, they drink my wine
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
Plowmen dig my earth
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
None of them along the line
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
Know what any of it is worth"
||: A5A5 | F5F5 G5G5 :|| 4x
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
"No reason to get excited"
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
The thief, he kindly spoke
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
"There are many here among us
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
Think that life is but a joke
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
You and I, we've been through that
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
This is not our fate
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
Let us not talk falsely now
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
The hour is getting late"

A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
All along the watchtower
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
Princes kept the view
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
While all the ladys came and went
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
Barefoot servants too
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
Outside in the cold distance
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
A augmentedA wildcat did growl
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
Two riders were approaching
A5A5 F5F5 G5G5
And the wind began to howl
