A5 F5 G5
"There must be some way out of here"
A5 F5 G5
Said the joker to the thief
A5 F5 G5
"There's just too much confusion
A5 F5 G5
I can't get no relief
A5 F5 G5
Businessmen, they drink my wine
A5 F5 G5
Plowmen dig my earth
A5 F5 G5
None of them along the line
A5 F5 G5
Know what any of it is worth"

"No reason to get excited"

A wildcat did growl
A5 F5 G5
Two riders were approaching
A5 F5 G5
And the wind began to howl
