Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

[Verse 1]
         A                E
See the tower, tall and beautiful
         A            E
Like a thimble on a sharp pencil
               F#m             B
People know of you no matter where I go
         F#m             E
Your reputation is international


[Refrain]
         A   E
See the tower
         A   E
See the tower


[Verse 2]
     A                           E
Helicopters buzzing 'round your tip
          A          E
You were built in 1976
              F#m7                             B
Though you're not the tallest building in the world
               F#m7                            E
You're still a modern wonder for the boys and girls


[Refrain]
         A   E
See the tower
         A   E
See the tower


[Verse 3]
         A               E
Looking out over Lake Ontario
        A      B         E
Do you wonder where the decades go?
        F#m7            B
It's a Jagged Pill to swallow whole
    F#m7            E               A
But you, you, you, you, you oughta know


[Instrumental]
E A E B A E B F#m E


[Verse 4]
      A              E
Tiny Tim once had a concert there
       A             E
His ukulele and his wavy hair
           F#m                 B
He played "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" too
      F#m                B
Just another day in the life for you


[Refrain]
         A   E
See the tower
         A   E
See the tower


[Verse 5]
        A                 E
My pal Richard, he had a good friend
               A        B    E
Worked at the tower in the '80s and
        F#m                B
He got fired for joyriding on the roof
        F#m       E          A E
Of the elevator, what a goof


[Verse 6]
         A               E
Made of concrete with a hollow shaft
              A                E
They dropped pumpkins just to see them smashed
       F#m                 B
I went on a date there so long ago
        F#m              E               A
And she never ever ever ever ever let me go


[Instrumental]
E A E B A E B A E 
A B E A F#m B A E


[Verse 7]
            A             E
We crashed millions so Canadians
            A                    E
Could look out at their home on native land
         F#m                  B
Rockets played cowboys and Indians
           F#m            E
Not being taught about colonialism


[Refrain]
         A   E
See the tower
         A   E
See the tower


[Verse 8]
      A                E
Any questions, you can ask the mayor
                A                 E
If they're not banning a band or having an affair
         F#m                B
Selling furniture, forging contracts
            F#m                      E           A E
Or getting videotaped while they're smoking crack


[Verse 9]
          A            E
You light up the city sky at night
        A                 E
Giving comfort with your laser light
         F#m                B
Is that King Kong climbing to the top?
          F#m                 E          A
Will the tower ever ever ever ever ever stop?


[Instrumental]
E A E B A E B F#m E


[Verse 10]
         A              E
Private parties on your upper deck
        A                E
Looking at you is a pain in the neck
        F#m              B
I could see you from my windowsill
   F#m            A         E
I adored you, I adore you still
