From: rousseaf@nil.IRO.UMontreal.CA (Francois Rousseau) Blues type of song... Version from the I'm your fan tribute album TOWER OF SONG (Leonard Cohen)

^FWell my friends are gone and my hair is grey I ache in the places where I used to play And I'm^F crazy for love but I'm not coming on ^F I'm just^G paying my rent every^Fday In the Tower of So^Fng

I said to Hank Williams: How lonely does it get? Hank Williams hasn't answered yet.

But I h^Fear him coughing all night lon^Fg A hund^Gred floors above me ^F In the Tower of So^Fng

I was born like this, I had no choice. I was born with the gift of a golden voice.

And twe^Fnty-seven angels from the Great beyon^Fd They ti^Ged me to this table right her^Fe In the Tower of Son^Fg

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll I'm very sorry, baby, doesn't look like me at all

I'm stan^Fding by the window where the light is str^Fong They don't l^Get a woman kill you,^F not In the Tower of So^Fng

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^Fighty judgment coming But I may be wron^Fg You see, you h^Gear these funny voice^Fs In the Tower of Son^Fg

^AmI see you standing on the other ^Gside ^AmI don't know how the river ^Ggot so wide I lo^Fved you, baby, way back when^F ^AmAnd all the bridges are burning that we^G might have crossed ^AmBut I feel so close to everythi^Gng that we lost We'll^F never have to lose it agai^Gn

I^F 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^Fearing from me, baby Long after I'm ^Fgone I'll be s^Gpeaking to you sweetly from a w^Findow In the Tower ^Fof Song
