    There must 
    be some 
    kind of way 
    out 
    Verse 1

    of 
    here 

    Said 
    the joker 
    to 
    the 
    thief, 
    yeah 

    There's 
    too 
    much 
    confu
    sion 

    Mmm 
    I can't 
    get 
    no 
    re
    lief 

    Verse 2

    Business 
    men, 

    they 
    drink 
    my 
    wine 

    Plowman 
    dig 
    my 
    earth 

    None 
    were 
    level 
    on 
    the 
    mind 

    No 
    one 
    up 
    at 
    his 
    word 

    Verse 3
    Yeah, I 
    see jokers 
    on my left, 

    thieves upon 
    my right 

    You'd find 
    me 
    in the middle 

    if I picked 
    differ
    ent 
    life 

    Before 
    my 
    name started 

    tripling 
    in 
    size 

    But I'm 
    still 
    showing signs 

    all attributed 
    to 
    mine 

    In 
    the 
    pitch 
    black, 

    it's 
    too cold 

    I'm all alone 
    take me back 

    to the 
    roads 

    I had 
    to roam to get 
    here 
    and I'll 
    hitch 
    back 

    Get 
    cab to my 
    mother's 
    house 

    See my 
    old man and 
    grab a 
    six 
    pack 

    Tell 
    my 
    brother 
    I love him 

    And 
    give him something 
    that will 
    see him 

    through 
    the 
    hard times 

    What's a brother 
    for? 

    When 
    i'm sick 
    of this 
    life 
    see 

    It has 
    to be 
    my family 
    who 

    lift me 
    off the 
    floor 

    Make sense 
    of all 
    the madness 

    in a world 
    full of money 

    Full 
    of tears, 
    full of 
    war 

    I was a plowman 
    and worked from 

    the earth up 

    Save 
    your wine for 

    Verse 4
    the entrepreneurs 

    Well all along 
    the 
    watchtower 

    Princes 
    kept 
    the view 

    While 
    all the women 
    came and went 

    Barefoot 
    servants, too 

    Outside 
    in 
    the cold 
    distance 

    A wild
    cat did 
    growl (like a failed 
    man I worked 

    from the earth 
    up) 

    Two riders were approaching 

    And the 
    wind begins 
    to howl ('cause your 

    world is the 
    same as mine) 

    Verse 5
    Pour more 
    blood in your 
    cup 

    Take a sip 
    full of sin and 
    let your taste 

    buds 
    savour the 
    buzz 

    The flavour of 
    an 
    ill-mannered nature 

    nature 

    That 
    lingers 
    on as animals 
    in all of us 

    Trying to 
    fight 
    for the right 
    to 
    live a life 

    But 
    some will never 
    win though that's 

    why they live a lie 

    I don't 
    think I'll 
    ever 
    win 

    All of 
    this is anything 

    When I die 
    I hope 
    a brother's 

    at my side 

    There's no trap 
    door, or get out 
    clause 

    The 
    world 
    can be your 
    oyster or a set 

    of jail 
    doors 

    You've seen 
    mine, I think it's 

    time I see yours 

    I bet you that 
    we've been scarred 

    by the same 
    swords 

    So we 
    are not so unalike 

    Apart from 
    the fact 
    I live my life in 

    the light and now 
    i'm trapped in 
    it 

    The way I feel 
    within a few 
    years time 

    I might 
    have a couple 
    kid
    s and just 

    forget I ever 
    wrote lyrics 

    Well all 
    along 
    the watchtower 
    Verse 6

    Princes 
    kept 
    the 
    view 

    While 
    all 
    the wo
    men 
    came 

    and 
    went 

    Barefoot 
    servant
    s, 
    too 
    yeah 

    Outside 
    in 
    the cold 
    dis
    tance 

    A wild
    cat 
    did 
    growl 

    Two 
    rider
    were 
    approach
    ing 

    And 
    the wind 
    begins 
    to 
    howl 

    Verse 7
    Take 
    away 
    the 
    treasure 
    of 
    a man 

    Convinced 
    that he hold

    s heaven 
    in his 
    hands 

    Even 
    though I ain't religious 
    i'm 

    a little 
    supersti
    tious 

    Maybe there 
    is a prom
    ised 
    land 

    But 
    will I 
    make 
    it 
    or 
    not is 

    different 
    matter 

    I've been 
    a joker, 
    I've been 
    thief, 

    I've been a rapper 

    I've been 
    the only 
    enemy 

    that 
    I can 
    never 
    beat 

    Give 
    me 
    a piece of mind 
    upon 

    platinum 
    platter 

    Verse 8
    Well all 
    along the 
    watchtower 

    Princes 
    kept the 
    view 
    oh 
    oh oh 

    While 
    all the 
    women 
    came 
    and went 

    Barefoot 
    servants, 
    too yeah 

    Outside 
    in 
    the cold 
    distance 

    wild
    cat did 
    growl 

    Two 
    riders were 
    approaching 

    And the wind 
    begins 

    to 

    howl

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
