easiest cover/jam song in the world - go up to a bunch of musicians and tell them you wanna play it some night.
Am, G, F, F - - play it a bit more rocking like Jimi Hendrix and the room digs big time. Repeat those three chords till the end - try to repeat the third verse and get quiet for additional dynamic impact.

I do a mean acoustic fingerpicking version of it. I do a pretty complex pattern, add a few tones, and mess with the rhythm. It almost a totally different song (I'm thinking about adding some of my own lyrics and making it my own song when in fact it would be a rip off [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] ) I don't really like three chord songs usualy but this song's lyrics hit a deep, deep emotion with such power.
A little Watchtower trivia, after Jimi Hendrix came out with his version, Bob Dylan liked it so much that he re-did it and would play it live in a style that was close to Jimi's.
