[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.
