Capo di fret ke-4

[Verse 1]
               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                                  G
I'm just paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song

[Verse 2]
  G
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                          G
A hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song

[Verse 3]
        G
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                               G
They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song

[Verse 4]
                    G
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                                G
They don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song

[Verse 5]
                        G
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure: the rich have got their channels
                                                                       C                                                    G
In the bedrooms of the poor, and there's a mighty judgment coming, but I may be wrong
                     D                                   C                             G
You see, you hear these funny voices in the Tower of Song

[Bridge]
Em                                    D               Em                         D
I see you standing on the other side, I don't know how the river got so wide
C                                            G
I loved you, baby, way back when
                    Em                                     D                                    Em                                  D
And all the bridges are burning that we might've crossed, but I feel so close to everything that we lost
          C                                                   D
We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again

[Verse 6]
G
I bid you farewell, don't know when I'll be back, they're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
                     C                                                          G
But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone
              D                                              C                                     G
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window in the Tower of Song

[Verse 7]
                 G
Yeah, 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                            G
I'm just paying my rent everyday in the Tower of Song
