The Tower

D                                     Dmaj7                     G             D
A great Lord came walking through the forest one morning with a weapon in his hand
                        Dmaj7               G               Asus4 A
Rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing, killing was his plan
       Bm                      F#m
When a white bird flew by, she fell from the sky
G           D           Em           Asus4 A
Nothing was found, only blood on the ground
        D
She was gone

[Verse 2]
D                       Dmaj7                   G          D
Cursing his fortune, he turned to the forest to kill once again
                          Dmaj7                       G            Asus4 A
Standing before him was a lovely young woman with her hand hung in pain
        Bm                     F#m
When he saw her, his eyes were filled with desire
   G            D         Em          Asus4 A
He said "I must have her, she must be mine.
            D
She will be mine."

[Verse 2]
D                         Dmaj7                    G               D
He offered her silver, he offered her gold but she threw it on the ground
                            Dmaj7                            G                         Asus4 A
He fell to his knees and he begged her, "Oh please come with me, what you wish will be found"
          Bm                      F#m
She said, "Sire, I'll go if you'll put up your bow

    G           D          Em            Asus4 A
And spare these creatures, leave them in peace
            F#sus4  F#
You have no need"

        Em         A           D
But her words were lost in the wind
    G         D          A
His eyes were fixed on a queen
    Bm               F#m       Em      A          D
And all he saw was a woman but all she was, was a dream
G  A  F# Bm G      D      Asus4  A
Oh Oh Ah Ah DaDaDa DaDaDa Da
Bm               F#m       Em      A          D
All he saw was a woman and all she was, was a dream

[Verse 3]
D                              Dmaj7                                   G             D
He took her and bound her with ropes tied around her, to his castle he did ride
                              Dmaj7                     G                Asus4 A
In the wood was a bower where stood an old tower and he threw her deep inside
        Bm                       F#m
And the birds left the sky and a terrible cry
        G           D          Em           Asus4 A
Brought thunder and lightning, rain falling down
             D
Tears on the ground

[Verse 4]
D                           Dmaj7                          G             D
All through the days on her face he would gaze for she was lovely as the spring
                              Dmaj7                         G                    Asus4 A
No words would she speak but "Leave them in peace" and some sad lament she would sing
    Bm                           F#m             G            D       Em           Asus4 A
One day by the door, through the window he saw a single white feather lying on the floor
                 D
She was there no more

[Verse 5]
D                                 Dmaj7                        G           D
Now that great Lord is dying, his cold heart is crying for the love of the girl
                        Dmaj7                      G                   Asus4 A
For many an hour he has wept on the Tower, for she meant more than the world
    Bm                     F#m              G          D         Em           Asus4 A
One day in the sky a white bird flew by, he lifted his hands, he cried out in pain
           F#sus4  F#
Come back again

        Em         A           D
But his words were lost in the wind
    G          D          A
His castle was built upon sand
Bm              F#m        Em     A             D
All he has is a memory and all he yearns is her hand
G  A  F# Bm G      D      Asus4  A
Oh Oh Ah Ah DaDaDa DaDaDa Da
Bm              F#m        Em     A             D
All he has is a memory and all he yearns is her hand.
