Title: ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER (Bob Dylan)
Am G F G Am (play it forever)
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
Buisness men they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None would ever compromise
Nobody of this world
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 place
So let us stop talking falsely now
The hour's getting late
All along the watchtower
Princess 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
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower
All along the watchtower

I've seen lots of rhythm tabs on here and have not seen what is correct.
(to the furthest of my knowledge)
I dont know about lead, that could be right, but rhythm is four chords
over and over:
<bar chords>
G A G F
I could get the lead tab from my friend maybe, if anyone wants it..
Here are some lyrics that might help you out..:

"All Along the Watchtower"-as played by Dave Matthews Band
Tab by Dylan Greenwood
This song was written by Bob Dylan, but has done by DMB on their very first
album which can only get at live shows or through mail. They also do it a
lot in concert. It's a great song! Enjoy!!!
It starts out with just Dave playing his acoustic. And goes something like
this:
RIFF 1:
I--------------------------------------------------------------------------I
I*------------------------------------------------------------------------*I
I--------------------------------------------------------------------------I
I-----------------------------------------------3---3---5---5---7----------I
I*----------------------------------------------3---3---5---5---7---------*I
I-----5---5---0--3-3-3-0--3-3--1--1--0--1---1---1---3---3---3---5----------I
Play this part for the intro and suring the first and third verses
=============================================================================
After the first verse is over the band comes in and they pick up the pace a
little and Dave plays the normal chords(Am G F G.)
=============================================================================
here's a summary of the song:
RIFF 1
"There must be some way outta here"
Said the joker to the theft
There's too much confusion
I can't get no release
But businessmen, they drink my wine
Come and dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth
Am G F G
No reason to get excited
The theftly kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that live 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's getting late
RIFF 1
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare-foot servants too
But outside in the distance
A wildcat did growl
Two writers were approaching
The wind begins to howl
RIFF 1
This should be exactly what he plays, I'll try to tab out some stuff from
the their new CD.
Any questions or comments E-Mail me!
Peace!
