[Verse 1]
 
C#m      B         A            B
There must be some kind of way out of here
C#m        B            A    B
Said the joker to the thief
C#m          B       A     B
There's too much confusion
C#m      B       A     B
I can't get no relief
C#m       B         A        B
Business men they drink my wine
C#m      B       A     B
Plowmen dig my earth
C#m       B      A          B
None will level on the line
C#m    B            A    B
Nobody offered his word
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C#m        B        A    B
No reason to get excited
C#m            B      A     B
The thief he kindly spoke
C#m         B         A      B
There are many here among us
C#m            B             A     B
Who feel that life is but a joke
C#m         B        A            B
But you and I we've been through that
C#m          B       A     B
And this is not our fate
C#m        B          A        B
So let us not talk falsely now
C#m          B       A     B
The hour's getting late
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C#m    B          A      B
All along the watchtower
C#m      B        A     B
Princes kept the view
C#m             B     A       B
While all the women came and went
C#m         B      A    B
Barefoot servants too
C#m     B              A     B
Outside in the cold distance
C#m     B        A     B
A wild cat did growl
C#m          B       A      B
Two riders were approaching
     C#m       B       A    B
And the wind began to howl

My interpretation of the lyrics has always been: Businessmen they drink my wine, Plow and dig my earth, None of them along the line, Know of any of its worth.

The chords are spot on I just gotta say that the original songs chords are played in half step down tuning
