Verse I:

Am             G                F          G
There must be some kind of way out of here
Am        G             F   G
Said the joker to the thief
Am                G         F G
"There's too much confusion,
Am        G         F G
I can't get no relief
Am            G             F
Businessmen, they drink my wine,
         G
Plowmen dig my earth
Am           G          F   G
None of them along the line
Am         G           F      G
Know what any of it is worth"

"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"

Verse III:

Use open chords.

      Am  G   F   G   Am

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.
