Blues type of song... 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 C G And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on D C I'm just paying my rent everyday G In the Tower of Song 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 A hundred floors above me G In the Tower of Song 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 They tied me to this table right here G In the Tower of Song 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 They don't let a woman kill you, not G In the Tower of Song 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 C And there's a mighty judgment coming G But I may be wrong D C You see, you hear these funny voices G In the Tower of Song Em D I see you standing on the other side Em D I don't know how the river got so wide C 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 D We'll never have to lose it again G I bid you farewell, I don't know when I'll be back They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track C But You'll be hearing from me, baby G Long after I'm gone D C I'll be speaking to you sweetly from a window G In the Tower of Song ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Francois Rousseau Laboratoire Incognito (Computer Languages) Universite de Montreal, Canada E-mail: rousseaf@iro.umontreal.ca ---------------------------------------------
