Chords for Leonard Cohen - Tower Of Song (Live in London)

[C#] _ I don't want anyone to get alarmed.
I know you've probably never seen one of these before.
But it goes by itself.
_ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now my friends are gone, and my hair is gray.
I hate in the places where I used to play.
[F#] And I'm crazy for love.
_ But I'm not [C#] coming on.
_ _ _ _ _ .
[G#] I'm just paying my rent [F#] every day in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ _ I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get?.
_ Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet, [F#] but I hear him coughing.
_ _ All [C#] night long.
_ _ _ _ _ _ .
[G#] Yeah, a hundred floors above [F#] me in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ .
[G#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ .
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ You're very kind.
_ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ I [C#] was born like this.
_ _ _ _ _ .
_ The gift of a golden voice.
_ .
[F#] From _ _ _ the grave [C#] beyond.
_ _ _ _ _ Yeah, [G#] they tied me to this table [F#] right here in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ _ So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll.
I'm very sorry, baby.
Doesn't look like me at all.
[F#] I'm standing by the window.
_ Where the light [C#] is strong.
_ _ _ _ They [G#] don't let a woman kill [F#] you.
Not in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ _ 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.
[F#] There's a mighty judgment coming.
_ But I may be [C#] wrong.
_ _ _ _ _ You see, [G#] you hear these funny voices [F#] _ in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
[A#m] I see you standing [G#] on the other side.
[A#m] I don't know how the [G#] river got this wide.
[F#] I loved you, baby.
_ _ Way [C#] back when.
_ _ _ _ _ And all [A#m] the bridges are burning.
[G#] We might have crossed.
But I feel [F#] so damn close.
[C#] [G#] To everything we lost.
[F#] We'll never, _ _ never have to lose it [G#] again.
_ _ _ _ So [C#] I bid you farewell.
I don't know when I'll be back.
They're moving us tomorrow.
That tower down the track.
But you'll [F#] be hearing from me, darling.
_ Long after [C#] I'm gone.
_ _ _ _ I'll [G#] be speaking to you sweetly from [F#] my window.
In the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ Yeah, my friends are gone.
And my life _ _ I've been [G#m] in the places [C#] I used to play.
[F#] And I'm crazy for love.
_ _ .
[C#] At home.
_ _ _ _ _ I'm [G#] just paying my rent.
[F#] Every day in the Tower [C#] of Sol.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
Don't stop.
_ _ _ Don't leave me here alone.
_ _ _ Don't ever stop.
_ _ .
_ _ _ _ Sing me to bed and sing me through the morning.
_ _ _ Because _ _ I'm so grateful to you because _ _ .
_ Tonight it's become clear to me.
_ .
Tonight the great mysteries have _ unraveled.
_ _ _ I've penetrated to the very core of things.
_ _ _ _ And I have stumbled on the answer.
_ _ .
I'm not the sort of chap that would keep this to himself.
_ .
_ _ _ Do you want to hear the answer?.
_ _ _ _ _ Are you truly hungry for the answer?
_ _ _ .
_ _ _ Then you're just the people I want to tell it to.
_ _ _ _ Because it's a rare thing to come upon this.
_ I will let you in on it now.
_ .
The answer _ to the mysteries.
_ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ .
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ .
