[Intro]
| G | G | G | G |
[Verse 1]
G G Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey G G I ache in the places where I used to play C C G G And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on D C G G I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song
[Verse 2]
G G I said to Hank Williams, "How lonely does it get?" G G Hank Williams hasn't me answered yet C C G G But I hear him coughing, all night long D C G G About a hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song
[Verse 3]
G G I was born like this, I had no choice G G I was born with the gift of a golden voice C C G G And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond D C G G They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
G G So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll G G I'm very sorry, baby, it don't look like me at all C C G G I'm standing by the window, where the light is strong D C G G And they don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
[Verse 5]
G G Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure G G The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor C C G G And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong D C G G You see, you hear them funny voices in the Tower of Song
[Bridge]
Em D I see you standing on the other side Em D I don't know how the river got so wide C C G G I loved you baby, way back when Em D And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed Em D But I feel so close to everything that we lost C C D D We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
[Verse 6]
G G Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back G G They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track C C G G But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone D C G G I'll be speaking to you sweetly from my window in the Tower of Song
[Outro]
G G Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is grey G G I ache in the places where I used to play C C G G And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on D C G G G G G G I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song
