Verse 2
I (B major) said to Hank Williams,
how lonely does it get?
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I (E major) hear him coughing
all night (B major) long
Oh, a hundred (F sharp major) floors above me
(E major) in the Tower of Song

Verse 3
I was born (B major) like this,
I had no choice
I was born with the gift
of a golden voice
And (E major) twenty-seven angels
from the Great Beyond (B major)
They (F sharp major) tied me to this table
right here (E major) in the Tower of Song (B major) (B major)
Verse 4
So you can (B major) stick your little pins
in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry, baby,
doesn't look like me at all
I'm standing (E major) by the window
where the light is (B major) strong
Ah, they don't (F sharp major) let a woman kill you,
(E major) not in the Tower of Song (B major)

Verse 5
Now, you can (B major) 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 (E major) mighty judgment coming,
but I may be wrong (B major)
You see, you (F sharp major) hear these funny voices
(E major) in the Tower of Song (B major)
Bridge 1
(G sharp minor) I see you standing on the (F sharp major) other side
I (G sharp minor) don't know how the river (F sharp major) got so wide
I loved (E major) you baby, way back when (B major)
And all the (G sharp minor) bridges are burning
that we (F sharp major) might have crossed
But I feel (G sharp minor) so close
to every (F sharp major) thing that we lost
We'll never, (E major) we'll never have to
it again (F sharp major)
Verse 6
Now I (B major) 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 (E major) hearing from me baby,
long after I'm gone (B major)
I'll be (F sharp major) speaking to you sweetly
from a (E major) window in the Tower of Song

Verse 7
Yeah, my (B major) friends are gone
and my hair is gray
I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm (E major) crazy for love
but I'm not coming on (B major)
I'm just (F sharp major) paying my rent
every day (E major) in the Tower of Song (B major)
