Blues type of song...
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
