I strum the intro something like this : (all downward strums except the third chord which is strummed upward). I don't know what chord it is. As you can see, I'm pretty hopeless at tabulature but I'm sure if you hear the song, you can figure what the tab below means! --2-2-3---2-2-3- --3-3-3---3-3-3- --2-2-2---2-2-2- ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- There is also another chord which is like a D so I'll call it D*. It is played by : ---2--- ---2--- ---2--- ------- ------- ------- ---------------------------It starts here--------------------------------- The Tower - Chris de Burgh D5 D5 * A great lord came walking through the forest one morning G5 D5 With a weapon in his hand D5 * Rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing G5 A5 Killing was his plan B5 F#5 When a white bird flew by, she fell from the sky G5 D5 E5 A5 D5 Nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone D5 D5 * G5 D5 Cursing his fortune, he turned to the forest to kill once again D5 * G5 A5 Standing before him was a lovely young woman with her head hung in pain B5 F#5 When he saw her, his eyes were filled with desire G5 D5 E5 A5 He said "I must have her, she must be mine D5 G5 A5 She will be mine" D5 D5 * He offered her silver, he offered her gold G5 D5 But she threw it on the ground D5 * He fell to his knees and he begged her, "Oh please G5 D5 Come with me, what you wish will be found" B5 F#5 She said, "Sir, I'll go if you'll put up your bow G5 D5 E5 A5 Spare these creatures, leave them in peace F#5 You have no need E5 A5 D5 But her words were lost in the wind G5 D5 A5 His eyes were fixed on a queen B5 F#5 E5 A5 D5 And all he saw was a woman but all she was, was a dream B5 F#5 G5 B5 F#5 E5 A5 Da-ah B5 F#5 E5 A5 D5 All he saw was a woman and all she was, was a dream Other verses : He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her To his castle he did ride In the wood was a bower where stood an an old tower And he threw her deep inside And the birds left the sky and a terrible cry Brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down Tears on the ground All through the days on her face he would gaze For she was lovely as the spring No words would she speaketh but leave them in peace And some sad lament she would sing One day by the door, through the window he saw A single white feather lying on the floor She was there no more Now that great lord is dying, his cold heart is crying For the love of a girl For many an hour he has wept on the tower For she meant more than the world One day in the sky a white bird flew by He lifted his hands, he cried out in pain Come back again But his words were lost in the wind His castle was built upon sand All he saw was her memory And all he yearned was her hand Da aa All she was, was a memory And all he yearned was her hand
