"THE TOWER" - NICOLE ATKINS (acoustic)
Ok it is official... I really love this album! Anyway... the acoustic and CD
version are very similar.
For the intro Nicole does some back progression with the "Am" playing with the
base between the "G" then "F#"
and then she hits th "F" before starting (just play around with it). The same
progression happens between verses.
Enjoy,
Victor Schinazi

Arguments[(Dm)] echoing, love made [(E)]so high

When the[(F)] light finally[(C)] dies and we [(G)]look to the s[(F)]ky
[(C)]Will we finally know [(G)]why
[(F)]They call the dawn th[(C)]e morning
[(F)]And I wish we'd sa[(Am]id g[-]oo[Am/G]dbye[Am/F#][F)]

Our words[(Dm)] turned out all wrong
Intentions [(Am)]lost in halls
Now all I[(Dm)] want to do is tear down [(E)]the walls

Seems like the[(Dm)] final day you'll ever [(Am)]come my way
So please[(Dm)] forgive me if I hold on too[(E)] tight, too tight
