All Along the Watchtower Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am]
[F]
[Am]
There must [G]be some [Am]kind of way out

[Verse 1]
[F]
of [Am]here
Said the joker to the thief, [F]yeah
[Am]There's too much confu[F]sion
[Am]Mmm I can't get no relief
[F][Am]

[Verse 2]
Business men,
they [F]drink my [G]wine[Am]
Plowman dig my [F]earth[G][Am]
None were level [F]on the [Am]mind
No one [G]up at his word

[Verse 3]
[F]Yeah, I see jokers on my left,
thieves upon my right
You'd find me [G]in the middle
if I picked a [Am]differ[G]ent [F]life
Before [G]my [Am]name started
tripling in size
But I'm still [G]showing signs
[F]all attributed to mine
[Am]In the pitch black,
it's too cold
[F]I'm all alone take me back
[Am]to the roads
I had to roam to get here and I'll hitch [F]back
Get a cab to my [Am]mother's house
See my old man and grab a six pack
[F]Tell [G]my [Am]brother I love him
And give him something [G]that will [F]see him
through the hard times
What's a brother [Am]for?
When i'm sick of this life I see
It has to be [F]my family who
[Am]lift me off the floor
Make sense of all the madness
[G]in a world full of money
Full [F]of tears, full of war
I was a plowman and worked from
the earth up
Save your wine for

[Verse 4]
the entrepreneurs
[Am]Well all along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women [F]came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild[Am]cat did growl (like a failed man I worked
from the earth up)
Two riders were approaching
And the wind begins to howl ('cause your
[G]world is the same as mine)

[Verse 5]
Pour more [F]blood in your cup
Take a sip full of sin and let your taste
buds savour the buzz
The flavour of [Am]an ill-mannered nature
nature
That lingers on as animals in all of us
Trying to [G]fight for the right to [F]live a life
But some will never win though that's
why they live a lie
I don't think I'll ever [Am]win
All of this is anything
When I die I hope a brother's
at my side
There's no trap door, or get out clause
The world [F]can be your oyster or a set
of jail doors
You've seen mine, I think it's
time I see yours
I bet you that we've been scarred
[Am]by the same swords
So we are not so unalike
Apart from [F]the fact I live my life in
the light and now i'm trapped in it
The way I feel within a few years time
I might have a couple kid[Am]s and just
forget I ever wrote lyrics
Well all along [G]the watchtower

[Verse 6]
[F][Am]
[G]Princes kept [F]the [Am]view
While all the wo[G]men [F]came
and [Am]went
Barefoot servant[F]s, too [G]yeah
[Am]Outs[G]ide in the cold distance[F]
[Am]A wildcat [G]did grow[F]l
[Am]Two riders wer[G]e approa[F]ching
[Am]And the wind b[G]egins to h[F]owl

[Verse 7]
Take [Am]away the treasure [G]of a man
Convinced [F]that he hold
s heaven in his hands
Even though I ain't religious i'm
a little supersti[Am]tious
Maybe there is a prom[G]ised land
But will I [F]make it or not is a
[Am]different matter
I've been [G]a joker, [F]I've been a thief,
I've been a rapper
I've been the only enemy
[Am]that I can never beat
Give [G]me a piece of mind upon
[F]a platinum platter

[Verse 8]
Well all along the [Am]watchtower
[G]Princes kept the view [F]oh oh oh
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, [Am]too yeah
Outside in the cold distance
A [G]wildcat did growl
Two riders were [F]approaching
And the wind [G]begins[Am]
[G]to[F]
[Am]howl[G]
[F]
[Am]
