All Along the Watchtower

[Verse 1]

"There must be some kind of way out of here"

Said the joker to the thief

"There's too much confusion

I can't get no relief

Businessmen, they drink my wine

Plowmen dig my earth

None will level on the line

Nobody offered his word," hey

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]

"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, uh

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," hey

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]

Hey

[Verse 3]

All along the watchtower

Princes kept the view

While all the women came and went

Barefoot servants too, well, uh

Outside in the cold distance

A wildcat did growl

Two riders were approaching

And the wind began to howl, hey

[Outro]

All along the watchtower

Got to be a way, got to be a way out here

All along the watchtower
