The Tower 5:22 Tabbed by: rogidez CAPO 5th - A beautiful ballad C - C7M - F - C C C7M 1. A great lord came walking through the forest one morning F C with a weapon in his hand C7M rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing F G killing was his plan. Am Em When a white bird flew by, she fell from the sky, F C Dm G C nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone. C C7M 2. Cursing his fortune, he turned to the forest F C to kill once again. C C7M Standing before him was a lovely young woman F G with her head hung in pain. Am Em When he saw her, his eyes were filled with desire, F C Dm G he said, "I must have her, she must be mine ! C - F - G She will be mine !" C C7M 3. He offered her silver, he offered her gold, F C but she threw it on the ground. C C7M He fell to his knees and he begged her, "Oh please, F G come with me, what you wish will be found." Am Em She said, "Sir, I'll go if you'll put up your bow, F C Dm G spare these creatures, leave them in peace. E You have no need." Dm G C But her words were lost in the wind, F C G his eyes were fixed on a queen. Am Em Dm G C And all he saw was a woman but all she was, was a dream. F G E Am F C G - G7 Ah ah, ah ah, la la la, la la la, la. Am Em Dm G C And all he saw was a woman but all she was, was a dream. C C7M 4. He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her, F C to his castle he did ride. C C7M In a wood was a bower where stood an old tower, F G and he threw her deep inside. Am Em Then the birds left the sky and a terrible cry, F C Dm G brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down, C tears on the ground. C C7M 5. All through the days on her face he would gaze, F C for she was lovely as the spring. C C7M No words would she speak but, "Leave them in peace!" F G And some sad lament she would sing. Am Em Oh, one day by the door, at the window he saw F C Dm G a single white feather lying on the floor : C - F She was there no more. G C C7M 6. Now that great lord is dying, his cold heart is crying, F C for the love of a girl, C C7M for many an hour he has wept on the tower, F G for she meant more than the world. Am Em But once in the sky a white bird flew by, F C Dm G he lifted his hands, he cried out in pain : E "Come back again !" Dm G C But his words were lost in the wind, F C G his castle was built upon sand. Am Em Dm G C All he has is a memory, and all he yearns is her hand. F G E Am F C G - G7 Ah ah, ah ah, la la la, la la la, la. Am Em Dm G C All he has is this memory, and all he yearns is her hand. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ 09.
