All Along The Watchtower (Bob Dylan Cover) (Lyrics)

"Watchtower" is one of the all time most played encore songs. The band is thought to have been covering this song since their first show ever. Dave was known to have been covering it solo since before the band came together. The song became an early favorite and many old school shows where the crowd would scream "Watchtower" throughout entire show. Watchtower is one of the most guested songs and features many popular jams. It sounds hardly anything like Bob Dylan's original or the Jimi Hendrix cover. The song even has evolved over the years, dropping a verse, gaining a Stefan Solo feature intro, and a high note during "the wind began to howl". - dmbalmanac

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Too much confusion
I can't get no relief

Business men they
Drink my wine
Oh, and the plowmen dig my EARTH
None of them along the line
Know what any of it's worth

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There aren't many here among us
That feel that life is but a joke (ha, ha, ha...)

But you and I we've been through that, oh
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late

And All Along the Watchtower
Princes kept their view
While all the women, all the women, all the women, came and they went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl, la la la
Two riders were approaching
The wind began to howl
Yeah...

All Along the Watchtower
The princes kept their view, oh
While all the women came and they went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl, la la la
Two riders were approaching
The wind begins to... howl.

The money safe
The thief he take
The money safe
The thief he take

No reason to get excited
