[Gm] [G] [Gm]
[G]
My friends are gone and my hair is gray I ache in the places where I used to play
[C] And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming [G] home
I'm [D] just paying my rent [C] every day in the Tower [G] of Song
I said to Hank Williams, how long it does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet
[C] But I hear him coughing all [G] night long
About [D] a hundred floors above me [C] in the Tower of [G] Song
I was born like this, [Em] I had no [G] choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
[C] And twenty-seven angels from way [G] beyond
They [D] tied me to this table [C] right here in the Tower of [G] Song
[Bm]

[Dm]

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