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