[Verse 1]
         Bb
Well, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play
        Eb                                 Bb
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
         F                    Eb                  Bb
I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song
 
[Verse 2]
  Bb
I said to Hank Williams: "How lonely does it get?", Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
      Eb                          Bb
But I hear him coughing all night long
  F                      Eb               Bb
A hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song
 
[Verse 3]
      Bb
I was born like this, I had no choice, I was born with the gift of a golden voice
    Eb                                   Bb
And twenty-seven angels from the great beyond
     F                           Eb                   Bb
They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
 
[Verse 4]
           Bb
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll, I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
    Eb                                        Bb
I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
           F                    Eb                   Bb
They don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
 
[Verse 5]
            Bb
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure: the rich have got their channels
                                           Eb                                   Bb
In the bedrooms of the poor, and there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong
             F                      Eb               Bb
You see, you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song
 
[Bridge]
Gm                          F             Gm                       F
  I see you standing on the other side, I don't know how the river got so wide
  Eb                        Bb
I loved you, baby, way back when
            Gm                          F                       Gm                    F
And all the bridges are burning that we might've crossed, but I feel so close to everything that we lost
      Eb                                  F
We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
 
[Verse 6]
  Bb
I bid you farewell, don't know when I'll be back, they're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
              Eb                                    Bb
But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone
        F                              Eb                     Bb
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song
 
[Verse 7]
         Bb
Yeah, my friends are gone, and my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play
        Eb                                 Bb
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
         F                    Eb                  Bb
I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song
