The Tower Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

There is also another chord which is like a D so I'll call it D*.

It is played by :

The Tower - Chris de Burgh

DA great lord came walking through the foDrest one morning

With a wGeapon in his hanDd

Rich was his castle, he lacDked for nothing

KillGing was his planA

When a wBmhite bird flew by, she fF♯mell from the sky

NoGthing was founDd, only blEmood on the groAund, she was gonDe

DCursing his fortune, he tuDrned to the forest to Gkill once again D

Standing before him was a loveDly young woman with her heGad hung in paAin

When he saw heBmr, his eyes were fillF♯med with desire

He saiGd "I must have herD, sheEm must be mine A

She will be mineD" G A

DHe offered her silver, he offDered her gold

But she threGw it on the grounDd

He fell to his knees and he beggDed her, "Oh please

Come with meG, what you wish will be found"D

She saidBm, "Sir, I'll go if you'll puF♯mt up your bow

SparGe these creaDtures, lEmeave them in peaAce

You have no needF♯

But her woEmrds were loAst in the wind D

His eyGes were fiDxed on a queAen

AllBm he saw was a wF♯moman and alEml she waAs, was a dreDam

Other verses :

He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her

To his castle he did ride

In the wood was a bower where stood an an old tower

And he threw her deep inside

And the birds left the sky and a terrible cry

Brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down

Tears on the ground

All through the days on her face he would gaze

For she was lovely as the spring

No words would she speaketh but leave them in peace

And some sad lament she would sing

One day by the door, through the window he saw

A single white feather lying on the floor

She was there no more

Now that great lord is dying, his cold heart is crying

For the love of a girl

For many an hour he has wept on the tower

For she meant more than the world

One day in the sky a white bird flew by

He lifted his hands, he cried out in pain

Come back again

But his words were lost in the wind

His castle was built upon sand

All he saw was her memory

And all he yearned was her hand

Da aa

All she was, was a memory

And all he yearned was her hand

Any comments/corrections appreciated. I'd also like to know the name of the

chord D*.
