Hey, I realise theres another tab for this on the site but it isn't the easiest to
play if you're a beginner. So I thought I'd do us all a favour and transpose the
chords from the key of E to the Key of C.
I'm not sure if the chords change exactly where I've put them I just went over the
song in my head...but anyway you can get the general places for the changes so
work it out for yourselves.

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
Am G F G Am G F G
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Am G F G Am G F G
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
Am G F G Am G F G
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
[Verse 2]
Am G F G Am G F G
"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
Am G F G Am G F G
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
Am G F G Am G F G
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
Am G F G Am G F G
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
[Verse 3]

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
Am G F G Am G F G
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Am G F G Am G F G
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Am G F G Am G F G
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
