Tower Of Song Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
Well, my [G]friends are gone
and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm [C]crazy for love
but I'm not coming [G]on
I'm just [D]paying my rent every [C]day
in the Tower of [G]Song

[Verse 2]
I [G]said to Hank Williams,
how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I [C]hear him coughing
all night [G]long
Oh, a [D]hundred floors above me
[C]in the Tower of Song

[Interlude 1]
[G][G][G][G]
[C][C][G][D]
[G][D][D]

[Verse 3]
I was [G]born like this,
I had no choice
I was born with the gift
of a golden voice
And [C]twenty-seven angels
from the Great Be[G]yond
They [D]tied me to this table
right [C]here in the Tower of [G]Song[G]

[Verse 4]
So you can [G]stick your little pins
in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby,
doesn't look like me at all
I'm [C]standing by the window
where the light is [G]strong
Ah, they don't [D]let a woman kill you,
[C]not in the Tower of Son[G]g

[Interlude 2]
[G][G][G][G]
[C][C][G][D]
[G][D][D]

[Verse 5]
Now, you can [G]say that I've grown bitter
but of this you may be sure
The rich have got their channels
in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a [C]mighty judgment coming,
but I may be [G]wrong
You see, you [D]hear these funny voices
[C]in the Tower of Son[G]g

[Bridge 1]
[Em]I see you standing on the othe[D]r side
I [Em]don't know how the river [D]got so wide
I [C]loved you baby, way back [G]when
And all the [Em]bridges are burning
that we [D]might have crossed
But I [Em]feel so close
to every[D]thing that we lost
We'll [C]never, we'll never have to
it a[D]gain

[Verse 6]
Now I [G]bid you farewell,
I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow
to that tower down the track
But you'll be [C]hearing from me baby,
long after I'm [G]gone
I'll be [D]speaking to you sweetly
from a [C]window in the Tower of Song

[Interlude 3]
[G][G][G][G]
[C][C][G][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 7]
Yeah, my [G]friends are gone
and my hair is gray
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm [C]crazy for love
but I'm not coming [G]on
I'm just [D]paying my rent
every [C]day in the Tower of [G]Song

[Outro 1]
