capo 4 — sounds 4 semitones higherSong
To match the key of C# minor of Dylan's studio recording from "John Wesley Harding"
put on a capo 4th fret.
(My tip is to play the 2nd G chord in each line with open strings x-0-0-0-0-0
and play the F chords as Fmaj7/C x-3-3-2-1-0)
[Intro] (Harmonica)
Verse 1
There must be some way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line
Know what any of it is worth
Harmonica
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
Harmonica
Verse 3
All along the watchtower
The princes kept the view
While all the women came and went,
Barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were approaching
The wind began to howl
Harmonica
