Tower of Song Chords by Leonard Cohen

[Intro]

[Verse]
Db                                             
■  Well my friends are gone and my hair is grey
  Db7                                    
I ache in the places where I used to play
        Gb7            Gb                    Db
And I'm crazy for love ■  but I'm not comin' on
         Ab                   Gb                  Db  
I'm just payin' my rent every day in the Tower of Song
  Db                                          
I said to Hank Williams How lonely does it get
Db7                                  
■   Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
      Gb                          Db  
But I hear him coughing all night long


[Chorus]
     Ab                      Gb                 Db  
Oh a hundred floors above me ■  in the Tower of Song


[Inst]
Db7 Gb7 Db Ab Db Ab7 Ab
■   ■   ■  ■  ■  ■   ■ 


[Intro]
Ab7 Ab     Db                            
I   ■  was born like this I had no choice
      Db7                                 
I was born with the gift of a golden voice


[Verse]
Gb7                    Gb                Db7    Db Db7 Db
And twentyseven angels ■  from the Great Beyond ■  ■   ■ 
Ab7                              Gb                   Db  
They tied me to this table right here in the Tower of Song
           Db                                        
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
               Db7                                
I'm very sorry baby it doesn't look like me at all
    Gb                                        Db    
I'm standin' by the window where the light is strong
     Ab7                        Gb                     Db   Db7 Db
They don't let a woman kill you ■  not in the Tower of Song ■   ■ 
            Db                                                    
Now you can say that I've grown bitter but of this you may be sure
Db7                                                         
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
          Gb                                   Db   
There's a mighty Judgement comin' but I may be wrong
                                  Gb                 Db   Db7 Db
You see I hear these funny voices ■  in the Tower of Song ■   ■ 


[Chorus]
Bbm                   Ab            
I see you standin' on the other side
  Bbm                      Ab         
I don't know how the river got so wide
  Gb             Db       Db7  Db
I loved you baby way back when ■ 
            Bbm                         Ab              
And all the bridges are burnin' that we might've crossed
              Bbm      Ab7                    
But I feel so close to everything that we lost
Gb7         Ab7   Gb7 Gb                    Ab7  
We'll never we'll ■   never have to lose it again
     Db                                         Db7 
So I bid you farewell I don't know when I'll be back
        Db7                                           
They're movin' us tomorrow to the tower down the track
    Gb                                            Db  
But you'll be hearin' from me baby long after I'm gone


[Verse]
        Ab7                          Absus4 Gb                  Db     
I'll be speakin' to you sweetly from a      window in the Tower of Song
        Db                                  
Yeah my friends are gone and my hair is grey
  Db7                                    
I ache in the places where I used to play
        Gb                                Db7 Db
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not comin' on  ■ 
         Ab     Ab7     Gb                       Db  
I'm just payin' my rent everyday in the Tower of Song


[Chorus]
Db7 Db Db7 Db Db7 Db Db7 Db
■   ■  ■   ■  ■   ■  ■   ■ 


[Verse]
Ab7 Db7 Db Db7 Db Db7 Db Db7
■   ■   ■  ■   ■  ■   ■  ■  


[Chorus]
Db Db7 Db Db7 Db Db7 Db Db7
■  ■   ■  ■   ■  ■   ■  ■  
Db Db7 Db Db7 Db Db7
■  ■   ■  ■   ■  ■
