Tower of Song Chords by Leonard Cohen

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, my friends are gone and my hair is gray
I ache in the places where I used to play and [E] I'm crazy for love
But I'm not coming [B] on
_ _ _ _ I'm [F#] just paying my rent every [E] day in the Tower [B] of Song
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum
I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get? _
_ Hank Williams hasn't answered yet, but [E] I hear him coughing
_ All [B] night long
Dum, dum, dum
_ _ Oh, [F#] a hundred floors above me
[E] In the Tower of [B] Song _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ _ I was [B] born like this
I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
[E] and 27 angels
From the great [B] beyond
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum
[F#] They tied me to this table [E] right here in the Tower [B] of Song
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum
So you can stick your little hands in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby.
It doesn't look like me at all.
[E] I'm standing by the window
_ Where the light [B] is strong
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum
How they [F#] don't let a woman kill [E] you
Not in the Tower [B] of Song
Dum, dum, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [F#m] _ [G#m] [F#] dum, dum, _ _ _ dum, dum, dum
Now you [B] 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 [E] there's a mighty judgment coming
_ But I may [B] be wrong
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum
You [F#] see, I hear these funny voices
[E] _ In the Tower [B] of Song
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum
_ [G#m] I see you standing [F#] on the other side
[G#m] I don't know how the [F#] river got so wide.
I [E] loved you, baby
Way _ _ [B] back when _ _
_ _ And [G#m] all the bridges are burning [F#] that we might have crossed
But [G#m] I feel so close to [F#] everything that we lost.
[E] We'll never _
We'll never have to lose it [F#] again _ _
_ _ [D#] I [B] bid you farewell, but don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the [E] track, but you'll be hearing from me, baby
_ Long after [B] I'm gone _
I'll _ _ [F#] be speaking to you sweetly [E] from a window in the Tower [B] of Song
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[F#] _ Yeah, [B] my friends are gone
And my hair is gray
I ache in the places where I used to play
[E] And I'm crazy for love
_ But I'm not [B] coming home _ _
_ _ I'm [F#] just paying rent every [E] day in the Tower [B] of Song
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum
Dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum, _ dum_ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
