Chords

To match the key of C# minor of Dylan's studio recording from "John Wesley Harding" (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) Am G F G Am G F G Am G F G Am G F G [Verse 1]
Am             G        F           G
 There must be some way out of here

Am        G            F         G
 Said the joker to the thief

Am           G       F      G
 There's too much confusion

Am       G        F     G
 I can't get no relief

Am        G        F            G
 Business men they drink my wine

Am       G      F      G
 Plowmen dig my earth

Am       G     F             G
 None of them along the line

Am         G            F     G
 Know what any of it is worth
[Harmonica] Am G F G Am G F G Am G F G Am G F G [Verse 2]
Am         G        F    G
 No reason to get excited

Am           G       F      G
 The thief he kindly spoke

Am         G          F        G
 There are many here among us

Am             G             F      G
 Who feel that life is but a joke

Am           G       F                 G
 But you and I we've been through that

Am          G        F       G
 And this is not our fate

Am         G        F           G
 So let us not talk falsely now

Am          G        F       G
 The hour is getting late
[Harmonica] Am G F G Am G F G Am G F G Am G F G [Verse 3]
Am    G        F       G
 All along the watchtower

Am          G         F       G
 The princes kept the view

Am             G     F            G
 While all the women came and went,

Am        G         F       G
 Barefoot servants, too.

Am       G      F      G
 Outside in the distance

Am      G       F    G
 A wild cat did growl

Am          G     F          G
 Two riders were approaching

Am         G       F    G
 The wind began to howl
[Harmonica] Am G F G Am G F G Am G F G Am
