TOWER OF SONG (Leonard Cohen)

GG Piano Chord 

Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey

I ache in the places where I used to play
CC Piano Chord 
                                     GG Piano Chord 

And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
DD Piano Chord 
                    CC Piano Chord 

I'm just paying my rent everyday
GG Piano Chord 

In the Tower of Song

I said to Hank Williams: How lonely does it get?

Hank Williams hasn't answered yet.
CC Piano Chord 
                             GG Piano Chord 

But I hear him coughing all night long
DD Piano Chord 
                   CC Piano Chord 

A hundred floors above me
GG Piano Chord 

In the Tower of Song

I was born like this, I had no choice.

I was born with the gift of a golden voice.
CC Piano Chord 
                                    GG Piano Chord 

And twenty-seven angels from the Great beyond
DD Piano Chord 
                            CC Piano Chord 

They tied me to this table right here
GG Piano Chord 

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
CC Piano Chord 
                                        GG Piano Chord 

I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
DD Piano Chord 
                   CC Piano Chord 

They don't let a woman kill you, not
GG Piano Chord 

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
CC Piano Chord 

And there's a mighty judgment coming
GG Piano Chord 

But I may be wrong
DD Piano Chord 
                    CC Piano Chord 

You see, you hear these funny voices
GG Piano Chord 

In the Tower of Song

EmEm Piano Chord 
                              DD Piano Chord 

I see you standing on the other side
EmEm Piano Chord 
                         DD Piano Chord 

I don't know how the river got so wide
CC Piano Chord 
                           GG Piano Chord 

I loved you, baby, way back when
EmEm Piano Chord 
                                     DD Piano Chord 

And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
EmEm Piano Chord 
                             DD Piano Chord 

But I feel so close to everything that we lost
CC Piano Chord 
                          DD Piano Chord 

We'll never have to lose it again

GG Piano Chord 

I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back

They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
CC Piano Chord 

But You'll be hearing from me, baby
GG Piano Chord 

Long after I'm gone
DD Piano Chord 
                              CC Piano Chord 

I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
GG Piano Chord
