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&#039;m crazy for love but I&#039;m not coming on
        D5                    C5
I&#039;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&#039;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

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I&#039;m very sorry, baby, doesn&#039;t look like me at all
        C5                                        G5
I&#039;m standing by the window where the light is strong
            D5                   C5
They don&#039;t let a woman kill you, not
                  G5

Now you can say that I&#039;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&#039;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&#039;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&#039;ll never have to lose it again

 G5
I bid you farewell, I don&#039;t know when I&#039;ll be back
They&#039;re moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
               C5
But You&#039;ll be hearing from me, baby
               G5
Long after I&#039;m gone
         D5                              C5
I&#039;ll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
             G5
