SOL
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
I ache in the places where I used to play
DO SOL
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
RE DO
I'm just paying my rent everyday
SOL
In the Tower of Song
I said to Hank Williams: How lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet.
DO SOL
But I hear him coughing all night long
RE DO
A hundred floors above me
SOL
In the Tower of Song
I was born like this, I had no choice.
I was born with the gift of a golden voice.
DO SOL
And twenty-seven angels from the Great beyond
RE DO
They tied me to this table right here
SOL
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
DO SOL
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
RE DO
They don't let a woman kill you, not
SOL
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
DO
And there's a mighty judgment coming
SOL
But I may be wrong
RE DO
You see, you hear these funny voices
SOL
In the Tower of Song
MIm RE
I see you standing on the other side
MIm RE
I don't know how the river got so wide
DO SOL
I loved you, baby, way back when
MIm RE
And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed
MIm RE
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
DO RE
We'll never have to lose it again
SOL
I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
DO
But You'll be hearing from me, baby
SOL
Long after I'm gone
RE DO
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window
SOL
In the Tower of Song
