[Verse]"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.Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,None will level on the line nobody offered his word."[Instrumental][Verse 2]"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."[Instrumental][Verse 3]All along the watchtower, princes kept the viewWhile 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. Yeah, Yeah.[Chords used]******************************| *: let ringE|b---| : bend until end of the dotted line| rb: release the bend| vvv: vibrato
