: All along the watch tower

Bm 
"There must 
A 
be some kind of 
G 
way out of 
A 
here,"
Bm 
  said the 
A 
joker to the 
G 
thief
A 
,

Bm 
"There's 
A 
too much con
G 
fusion
A 
,  
Bm 
  I can't 
A 
get no re
G 
lief.

Bm 
Business
A 
men, they 
G 
drink my 
A 
wine, 
Bm 
 plowmen 
A 
dig my 
G 
earth, 
A 
 

Bm 
None of 
A 
them a
G 
long the 
A 
line 
Bm 
  know what 
A 
any of it is 
G 
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, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl

2. Your daddy he's an outlaw and a wanderer by trade 
he'll teach you how to pick a choose and how to throw the blade 
and he oversees his kingdom so no stranger does intrude 
his voice it trembles as he calls out for another plate of food. 

R: One more cup of coffee for the road…

3. Your sister sees the future like your momma and yourself 
you've never learned to read or write there's no books upon your shelf 
and your pleasure know no limits your voice is like a meadow larks 
but your heart is like an ocean so mysterious and dark. 

R: One more cup of coffee for the road…

Em 
people wher
C 
ever you 
G 
roam

And adG 
mit that the 
Em 
waters a
C

G/B 
ink like a s
D/A

times, they are a

-chang -
D 
 in'
G 
 


2. Come writers and critics who prophecies with your pen
And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-chang-in'

3. Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you don't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand
For the times they are a-changin'

4. Come senators, congressmen please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside and it's ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'

5. The line it is drawn the curse it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'
