All along the watch tower — Jimi Hendrix

All Along The Watch Tower (a la Hendrix) Words and Music by Bob Dylan Transcribed to tab by Dave Crowson, London, UK. September 1994

(4/4 time, moderate rock, tune down 1/2 step)

The timings you`ll have to get from the song as this tab isn`t written with the correct bar spacing in mind, nor does it specify the timeperiod of the note..you`ll just have to work that out for yourself.

It`s jus` a rough guide really ;-)

(Please note this was compiled as straight ASCII, so using proportional fonts to view it won`t make it look very nice)
