G5 Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to play C5 G5 And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on D5 C5 I'm just paying my rent everyday G5 In the Tower of Song I said to Hank Williams: How lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet. C5 G5 But I hear him coughing all night long D5 C5 A hundred floors above me G5 In the Tower of Song I was born like this, I had no choice. I was born with the gift of a golden voice. C5 G5 And twenty-seven angels from the Great beyond D5 C5 They tied me to this table right here G5 In the Tower of Song So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all C5 G5 I'm standing by the window where the light is strong D5 C5 They don't let a woman kill you, not G5 In the Tower of Song 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 C5 And there's a mighty judgment coming G5 But I may be wrong D5 C5 You see, you hear these funny voices G5 In the Tower of Song E5 D5 I see you standing on the other side E5 D5 I don't know how the river got so wide C5 G5 I loved you, baby, way back when E5 D5 And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed E5 D5 But I feel so close to everything that we lost C5 D5 We'll never have to lose it again G5 I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track C5 But You'll be hearing from me, baby G5 Long after I'm gone D5 C5 I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window G5 In the Tower of Song
