Chris de Burgh - The tower

^DA great Lord came walking through the ^Dmaj7forest one morning with a weapo^Gn in his hand ^D Rich was his castle, he ^Dmaj7lacked for nothing, ^Gkilling was his ^Aplan When a ^Bmwhite bird flew by, she ^F#mfell from the sky ^GNothing was ^Dfound, only ^Emblood on the ^Aground She was ^Dgone

^DCursing his fortune, he ^Dmaj7turned to the forest to ^Gkill once a^Dgain Standing before him was a ^Dmaj7lovely young woman with her ^Ghand hung in ^Apain When he ^Bmsaw her, his eyes were ^F#mfilled with desire He ^Gsaid "I ^Dmust have ^Emher, she mus^At be mine. She will be ^Dmine."

^DHe offered her silver, he ^Dmaj7offered her gold but she ^Gthrew it on the ^Dground He fell to his knees and he ^Dmaj7begged her, "Oh please come wi^Gth me, what you wish will ^Abe found" She said, ^Bm"Sire, I'll go if y^F#mou'll put up your bow And ^Gspare these ^Dcreatures, ^Emleave them in ^Apeace You have no ^F#need"

But her ^Emwords were ^Alost in the ^Dwind His ^Geyes were ^Dfixed on a ^Aqueen And ^Bmall he saw was a ^F#mwoman but ^Emall she ^Awas, was a ^Ddream ^BmOh ^F#mOh ^GAh ^BmAh ^GDaDaDa ^DDaDaDa ^EmDa ^{A Bm}All he saw was a ^F#mwoman and ^Emall she ^Awas, was a ^Ddream

^DHe took her and bound her with ^Dmaj7ropes tied around her, to his castle he d^Gid ride ^D In the wood was a bower where ^Dmaj7stood an old tower and he ^Gthrew her deep in^Aside And the ^Bmbirds left the sky and a ^F#mterrible cry Brought ^Gthunder and ^Dlightning, ^Emrain falling ^Adown Tears on the ^Dground

^DAll through the days on her ^Dmaj7face he would gaze for she was ^Glovely as the ^Dspring No words would she speak but &^Dmaj7quot;Leave them in peace"^G and some sad lament ^Ashe would sing One ^Bmday by the door, through the ^F#mwindow he saw a ^Gsingle white ^Dfeather ^Emlying on the ^Afloor She was there no ^Dmore

^DNow that great Lord is dying, his ^Dmaj7cold heart is crying for the ^Glove of the ^Dgirl For many an hour he has ^Dmaj7wept on the Tower, for she ^Gmeant more than the ^Aworld One ^Bmday in the sky a white ^F#mbird flew by, he ^Glifted his ^Dhands, he ^Emcried out in ^Apain Come back a^F#gain

But his ^Emwords were ^Alost in the ^Dwind His ^Gcastle was ^Dbuilt upon ^Asand ^BmAll he has is a ^F#mmemory and ^Emall he ^Ayearns is her h^Dand ^BmOh ^F#mOh ^GAh ^BmAh ^GDaDaDa ^DDaDaDa ^EmDa ^{A Bm}All he has is a ^F#mmemory and ^Emall he ^Ayearns is her ^Dhand.
