Am G F
There must be some kind of way out of here
Am G F
Said the joker to the thief
Am G F
There's too much confusion
Am G F
I can't get no relief
Am G F
Business men they drink my wine
Am G F
Plowmen dig my earth
Am G F
No one would ever compromise
Am G F
No one of this world
Am G F
No reason to get excited
Am G F
The thief he kindly spoke
Am G F
There are many here among us
Am G F
Who feel that life is but a joke
Am G F
But you and I we've been through that
Am G F
And this is not our place
Am G F
So let us stop talking falsely now
Am G F
The hour's getting late
Am G F
All along the watchtower
Am G F
Princes kept the view
Am G F
While all the women came and went
Am G F
Barefoot servants too
Am G F
Outside in the cold distance
Am G F
A wildcat did growl
Am G F
Two riders were approaching
Am G F
And the wind began to howl
Am G F
All along the watchtower
Am G F
All along the watchtower
Am G F
All along the watchtower

"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,
Because the hour is getting late"

Use open chords.

All Along the Watchtower
Princes kept their view
While other women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl.
Dave's part:
A lot of palm muting and silences. Here you need rhythm.

Then Tim's solo:
I love this solo, I love the way he play it.
These are just the notes, listen to it and the find the bends and all the stuff.
With overdrive and delay in some parts.

For the next part it's hard to tab it beacuse is hard to hear.
There's another part like this before Dave start to sings:

G|-|---------------------------|-|

Verse IV:
Same as the other three.
All along the watchtower
Princes kept their view
While other women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl.
Then just play with the original notes: Am G F
And...
...''No reason to get excited''.
End on Am.
''Tim Reynolds on the guitar''.

h: Hammer
b: Bending
