[Intro][Strophe]GWell, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to playC GAnd I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming onD C GI'm just paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song[Strophe]GI said to Hank Williams: "How lonely does it get?", Hank Williams hasn't answered yetC GBut I hear him coughing all night longD C GA hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song[Strophe]GI was born like this, I had no choice, I was born with the gift of a golden voiceC GAnd twenty-seven angels from the great beyondD C GThey tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song[Strophe]GSo you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll, I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at allC GI'm standing by the window where the light is strongD C GThey don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song[Strophe]GNow you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure: the rich have got their channelsC GIn the bedrooms of the poor, and there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrongD C GYou see, you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song[Pont]Em D Em DI see you standing on the other side, I don't know how the river got so wideC GI loved you, baby, way back whenEm D Em DAnd all the bridges are burning that we might've crossed, but I feel so close to everything that we lostC DWe'll never, we'll never have to lose it again[Strophe]GI bid you farewell, don't know when I'll be back, they're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the trackC GBut you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm goneD C GI'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song[Strophe]GYeah, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to playC GAnd I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming onD C GI'm just paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
