Tower Of Song chords by Willie Nelson

[Intro]
| G      | G      | G      | G      |
 
 
[Verse 1]
        G                       G
Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
  G                          G
I ache in the places where I used to play
        C              C                   G    G
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
         D                    C                   G    G
I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song
 
 
[Verse 2]
  G                       G
I said to Hank Williams, "How lonely does it get?"
G                        G
 Hank Williams hasn't me answered yet
C                        C          G    G
 But I hear him coughing, all night long
        D                      C                G    G
About a hundred floors above me in the Tower of Song
 
 
[Verse 3]
      G                 G
I was born like this, I had no choice
      G                       G
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
    C                  C                 G    G
And twenty-seven angels from the Great Beyond
     D                           C                    G    G
They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
 
 
[Instrumental]
| G      | G      | G      | G      |
| C      | C      | G      | G      |
| D      | C7     | G      | G      |
 
 
[Verse 4]
            G                             G
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
G                                    G
 I'm very sorry, baby, it don't look like me at all
C                           C                    G    G
 I'm standing by the window, where the light is strong
               D                    C                    G    G
And they don't let a woman kill you, not in the Tower of Song
 
 
[Verse 5]
            G                                  G
Now you can say that I've grown bitter, but of this you may be sure
    G                                   G
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
              C                       C             G    G
And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I may be wrong
             D                     C                G    G
You see, you hear them funny voices in the Tower of Song
 
 
[Bridge]
Em                         D
 I see you standing on the other side
Em                          D
 I don't know how the river got so wide
C                 C         G    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                        C                 D    D
 We'll never, we'll never have to lose it again
 
 
[Verse 6]
      G                              G
Now I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
        G                          G
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
    C                               C               G    G
But you'll be hearing from me, baby, long after I'm gone
         D                              C                      G    G
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from my window in the Tower of Song
 
 
[Outro]
         G                       G
Yeah, my friends are gone and my hair is grey
  G                          G
I ache in the places where I used to play
        C              C                   G    G
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
         D                    C                   G    G    G    G    G    G
I'm just paying my rent every day in the Tower of Song
