Intro:

F   Fsus   F   Fsus   F  


        C/F            D#/F  
So many times out there
               A#/F  F    G9/F  
I've watched a happy pair
          A7/F           F    Gm7/C
Of lovers walking in the night
                         F         A#sus2  
They had a kind of glow around them
          A#sus2/D    Am7      A#   F  
It almost looked like heaven's light


           C/F       D#/F
I knew I'd never know
              A#/F   F    G/F  
That warm and loving glow
               A/F              Asus   A   Dm  
Though I might wish with all my might
           Dm/C       A#(add2)   F/A   Gm7    
No face as hideous as my face
                   F(add2)/A  A#(add2)
Was ever meant for heaven's light


    F  A#m/F  F   F7      A#(add2)
But suddenly an angel has smiled at me
    Dm                                 G   C7sus    C7    F  
And kissed my cheek without a trace of fright
          C/F           D#/F  
I dare to dream that she
           A#/F     F    G7/F  
Might even care for me
         A7/F               Em7/A   Am   A# 
And as I ring these bells tonight
                            Am   Dm7   Gm7  
My cold dark tower seems so bright
           C7sus            F5
I swear it must be heaven's light
