Tower Of Song Tabulatur von Leonard Cohen

[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
