Version from the I'm your fan tribute album

TOWER OF SONG (Leonard Cohen)

G

Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey

I ache in the places where I used to play

C G

And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on

D C

I'm just paying my rent everyday

G

In the Tower of Song

I said to Hank Williams: How lonely does it get?

Hank Williams hasn't answered yet.

C G

But I hear him coughing all night long

D C

A hundred floors above me

G

In the Tower of Song

I was born like this, I had no choice.

I was born with the gift of a golden voice.

C G

And twenty-seven angels from the Great beyond

D C

They tied me to this table right here

G

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

C G

I'm standing by the window where the light is strong

D C

They don't let a woman kill you, not

G

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

C

And there's a mighty judgment coming

G

But I may be wrong

D C

You see, you hear these funny voices

G

In the Tower of Song

Em D

I see you standing on the other side

Em D

I don't know how the river got so wide

C G

I loved you, baby, way back when

Em D

And all the bridges are burning that we might have crossed

Em D

But I feel so close to everything that we lost

C D

We'll never have to lose it again

G

I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back

They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track

C

But You'll be hearing from me, baby

G

Long after I'm gone

D C

I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window

G

In the Tower of Song
