All Along The Watchtower by U2
All Along The Watchtower
Intro:C#m B A B (Play this throughout every verse of the song)
C#m B A B
There must be some way out of here
C#m B A B
Said the joker to the thief
C#m B A B
There's too much confusion here
C#m B A B
I can't get no relief
C#m B A B
Businessmen they drink my wine
C#m B A B
Plowmen dig my earth
C#m B A B
None of them know along the line
C#m B A B
What any of this is worth
Intro
C#m B A B
No reason to get excited
C#m B A B
The thief, he kindly spoke
C#m B A B
There are many here among us
C#m B A B
Who think that life is but a joke
C#m B A B
But you and I, we've been through that
C#m B A B
And that is not our fate
C#m B A B
So let us not talk falsely now
C#m B A B
Because the hour is getting late
C#m B A B
All along the watchtower
C#m B A B
Princes kept the view
C#m B A B
While horsemen came and went
C#m B A B
Barefoot servants too
C#m B A B
All I got is a red guitar
C#m B A B
Three chords
C#m B A B
And the truth
C#m B A B
All I got is a red guitar
C#m B A B
The rest is up to you
C#m B A B
There's no reason to get excited
C#m B A B
The thief, he kindly spoke
C#m B A B
There are some among us here
C#m B A B
Say that life is just a joke
C#m B A B
You and I, we've been through that
C#m B A B
And that is not our fate (at least today)
C#m B A B
So let us not talk falsely now
C#m B A B
Because the hour is getting late
Late...
(yeeeaaaaaahhhhhh... :)

There must be some kinda way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion now
I can't get no relief
No reason to get excited
The thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feels life's but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us stop talking falsely now
The hour's getting late
All along the watchtower
Princess kept the view
While all the women they came and they went
Barefoot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl
~ = let it ring
* = mute the chord
