Intro:
||: A5 | F5  G5 :|| 4x


A5                             F5     G5
"There must be some way out of here"
A5                       F5     G5
Said the joker to the thief
A5                      F5     G5
"There's just too much confusion
A5                    F5     G5
I can't get no relief


A5                F5       G5
Businessmen, they drink my wine
A5                   F5     G5
Plowmen dig my earth
A5           F5        G5
None of them along the line
A5                            F5     G5
Know what any of it is worth"


||: A5 | F5  G5 :|| 4x


A5                F5       G5
"No reason to get excited"
A5                        F5     G5
The thief, he kindly spoke
A5                   F5      G5
"There are many here among us
A5                          F5     G5
Think that life is but a joke

A5               F5           G5
You and I, we've been through that
A5                    F5    G5
This is not our fate
A5              F5       G5
Let us not talk falsely now
A5                        F5     G5
The hour is getting late"


||: A5 | F5  G5 :|| 4x


A5                F5       G5
All along the watchtower
A5                     F5     G5
Princes kept the view
A5                  F5       G5
While all the ladys came and went
A5                     F5     G5
Barefoot servants too

A5                  F5       G5
Outside in the cold distance
A5                  F5     G5
A wildcat did growl
A5                 F5       G5
Two riders were approaching
A5                    F5     G5
And the wind began to howl


||: A5 | F5  G5 :|| 4x


A5                             F5     G5
"There must be some way out of here"
A5                       F5     G5
Said the joker to the thief
A5                      F5     G5
"There's just too much confusion
A5                    F5     G5
I can't get no relief

A5                F5       G5
Businessmen, they drink my wine
A5                   F5     G5
Plowmen dig my earth
A5           F5        G5
None of them along the line
A5                            F5     G5
Know what any of it is worth"
