Chords in this song4
capo 4 — sounds 4 semitones higherVerse 1
Well, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
Verse 2
I said to Hank Williams: "How lonely does it get?", Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song
Verse 3
I was born like this, I had no choice, I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond
They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
Verse 4
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll, I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
They don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
Verse 5
Now you can 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 mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong
You see, you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song
Bridge
I see you standing on the other side, I don't know how the river got so wide
I loved you, baby, way back when
And all the bridges are burning that we might've crossed, but I feel so close to everything that we lost
We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
Verse 6
I bid you farewell, don't know when I'll be back, they're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song
Verse 7
Yeah, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
