Verse 2
Business men,
F
G
Am
they drink my wine
F
G
Am
Plowman dig my earth
F
Am
None were level on the mind
G
No one up at his word
Verse 3
F
Yeah, I see jokers on my left,
thieves upon my right
G
You'd find me in the middle
Am
G
F
if I picked a different life
G
Am
Before my name started
tripling in size
G
But I'm still 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
F
I had to roam to get here and I'll hitch back
Am
Get a cab to my mother's house
See my old man and grab a six pack
F
G
Am
Tell my brother I love him
G
F
And give him something that will see him
through the hard times
Am
What's a brother for?
When i'm sick of this life I see
F
It has to be my family who
Am
lift me off the floor
Make sense of all the madness
G
in a world full of money
F
Full 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
F
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
Am
A wildcat 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
F
Pour more blood in your cup
Take a sip full of sin and let your taste
buds savour the buzz
Am
The flavour of an ill-mannered nature
nature
That lingers on as animals in all of us
G
F
Trying to fight for the right to live a life
But some will never win though that's
why they live a lie
Am
I don't think I'll ever 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
F
The world 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
F
Apart from 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
Am
I might have a couple kids and just
forget I ever wrote lyrics
G
Well all along the watchtower

Verse 7
Am
G
Take away the treasure of a man
F
Convinced that he hold
s heaven in his hands
Even though I ain't religious i'm
Am
a little superstitious
G
Maybe there is a promised land
F
But will I make it or not is a
Am
different matter
G
F
I've been a joker, I've been a thief,
I've been a rapper
I've been the only enemy
Am
that I can never beat
G
Give me a piece of mind upon
F
a platinum platter
Verse 8

Well all along the watchtower
G

Princes kept the view oh oh oh
While all the women came and went
