ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER
By Bob Dylan
Jimi Hendrix
Key: E


5*      5*  5*  5*   5*  -4
"There must be some kind of 
5*   6  -4 4*3*
way out of here,"
-4    5*  6  5  -4  5*  5*
said the jok-er to the thief,
5         5    5   -4 6   6
"There's too much con-fu-sion,
-4 -4    6  5* 5* 4*3*-3
I can't get no re- lief.
7     -6* -6*  6-4  -4    7*  5* -6*
Bus-‘ness-men they, uh, drink my wine,
-4    5*  6  5*  5*
Plow-men dig my earth
7     6  -6* 6 7*5* 5*  6-3
None of them a-long the line 
-4    5*  5* 5*-6 5* 5*  5*-3
know what an-y of it is worth"
6-4   5*
Hey, Hey 

"No rea-son to get ex-cit-ed,"
the thief, he kindl-y spoke
"There are man-y here a-mong 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 false-ly now, 
the hour’s get-ting late" 

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too 

Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
