Chords for Wes Carr Australian Idol 08 Audition All Along the Watchtower

And to evening, the judges were still looking for one more glimpse of sunlight.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
25-year-old muso Wes [E] Carr has been performing in pubs since he was 15.
[G] He moved from his native Adelaide to pursue his musical education in Sydney.
A songwriter from the age of 12, Wes writes and records his own [Em] material in his tiny Bondi flat.
[C] I don't want to be sitting on a [G] bar stool for the rest of my life singing songs to 10 drunk people.
It's [D] time for Wes to prove to our judges that he's a man on a [A] mission.
I think now [C] is the time to [E] _
step up to the mark and go,
righto, this is who I am, [E] here you go [A] Australia, _ [E] have a listen, see what you think. _
Hey, [Db] how are you doing man?
How are you?
Good.
_ You're a musician?
Yep.
What does that mean then?
I play three times a week [D] around Sydney.
I play for three hours, four hours straight and _ it's tiring but you get there.
Do you do covers?
Yeah, I do a lot of covers and I do a lot of my own stuff as well.
Okay, what sort of covers do you normally play?
I play sort of Jimi Hendrix.
What would you like to play with your guitar?
_ All Along the Watchtower.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Nice Jimi.
I love Jimi.
It's my own little version of what I do take but it's kind of, you know.
