Subject: CRD : The Tower - Chris de Burgh





I strum the intro something like this : (all downward strums except

the third chord which is strummed upward). I don't know what chord it is.

As you can see, I'm pretty hopeless at tabulature but I'm sure if you hear 

the song, you can figure what the tab below means! 

                                        

        --2-2-3---2-2-3-

        --3-3-3---3-3-3-

        --2-2-2---2-2-2-

        ----------------

        ----------------

        ----------------



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

It is played by :

                        ---2---

                        ---2---

                        ---2---

                        -------

                        -------

                        -------

                The Tower - Chris de Burgh





D                                       D* 

A great lord came walking through the forest one morning

        G               D

With a weapon in his hand

                           D*

Rich was his castle, he lacked for nothing

    G               A

Killing was his plan

        Bm                      F#m

When a white bird flew by, she fell from the sky

  G             D         Em            A               D

Nothing was found, only blood on the ground, she was gone





D                         D*                    G               D

Cursing his fortune, he turned to the forest to kill once again

                              D*                        G            A   

Standing before him was a lovely young woman with her head hung in pain

              Bm                   F#m

When he saw her, his eyes were filled with desire

      G                 D    Em            A

He said "I must have her, she must be mine

                D G A

She will be mine"



D                            D* 

He offered her silver, he offered her gold

            G                D   

But she threw it on the ground

                                D*

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

            G                             D

Come with me, what you wish will be found"

        Bm                          F#m

She said, "Sir, I'll go if you'll put up your bow

    G           D       Em              A

Spare these creatures, leave them in peace

                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

Bm F#m G Bm F#m Em A

Da-ah

   Bm             F#m        Em      A           D             

All he saw was a woman and all she was, was a dream



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



------------------------It ends here------------------------------



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

chord D*.



Thanks
