Tom Jones - Tower Of Song Chords

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