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
And I'm[C] crazy for love but I'm not coming on[G]
I'm just[D] paying my rent every[C]day
In the Tower of So[G]ng
I said to Hank Williams: How lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet.
But I h[C]ear him coughing all night lon[G]g
A hund[D]red floors above me[C]
In the Tower of So[G]ng
I was born like this, I had no choice.
I was born with the gift of a golden voice.
And twe[C]nty-seven angels from the Great beyon[G]d
They ti[D]ed me to this table right her[C]e
In the Tower of Son[G]g
So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/l/leonard_cohen/tower_of_song_crd.html )
I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all
I'm stan[C]ding by the window where the light is str[G]ong
They don't l[D]et a woman kill you,[C] not
In the Tower of So[G]ng
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
And there's a m[C]ighty judgment coming
But I may be wron[G]g
You see, you h[D]ear these funny voice[C]s
In the Tower of Son[G]g
[Em]I see you standing on the other [D]side
[Em]I don't know how the river [D]got so wide
I lo[C]ved you, baby, way back when[G]
[Em]And all the bridges are burning that we[D] might have crossed
[Em]But I feel so close to everythi[D]ng that we lost
We'll[C] never have to lose it agai[D]n
I[G] bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But You'll be h[C]earing from me, baby
Long after I'm [G]gone
I'll be s[D]peaking to you sweetly from a w[C]indow
In the Tower [G]of Song
