Subject: ASHES TO ASHES by The Wallflowers
Ashes To Ashes
(words & music by Jakob Dylan)
Basically the rhythm guitar for this song is played in a power chord fashion.
I will not transcribe it like that because the organ plays regular chord
shapes. Just like father like son, I have a bit of the problem understanding
what Dylan is saying but I will try my best:
Intro: F Em Am (4x)
Well you can Fwalk like a stranger, Emhead back in your Amhair
Bringing Fgifts, while you act Emso sinAmcere
F Em Am F Em Am
Bringing Fgifts, oh boyEm, he~s five Amyears
A game for Frocks and Emtraini...iAmng wheels
F Em Am F Em Am
Am
Well I don~t reCmember Gyou from Fany Gof those Embooks
Ashes to Cashes, and Gsix feet Funder face Gdown in a Embox E
FWhere~d you ever Emlearn to treat me likeAm that
F Em Am F Em Am
You don~t Fsee that, baby aEmhh..., that famous Amstuff
You know the FHarvard folds Emlaw, that pennilessAm rough
F Em Am F Em Am
Your Fbad luck follows Emyou like a heart atAmtack
Twist your Ffingers, soon as Embreak yourAm back
F Em Am F Em Am
Am
Well I don~t reCmember Gyou from Fany Gof those Embooks
Ashes to Cashes, and Gsix feet Funder face Gdown in a Embox E
FWhere~d you ever Emlearn to treat me likeAm that
F Em Am
It~s Fcoming from another withered Emmother who~s just like Amyours
Bringing you Faches and all thosEme mental Amsores
FTake a little half, so Emneed some for yourAmself
Like an Fitty in the gritty, they alEmways seem by themAmselves
Well you Fmust be, had-to-beEm, one of Amthese
Honey, on the Fshed on the Emopen tAmree
FDidn~t I meet you Emonce in a liquor Amstore
I think I saw you Fhanging by the Emstage Amdoor
Handing out Fprograms to the Emfamily theaAmter
Deprive the Frow, so you Emdon~t miss her Amor treat her
Am Am Am Am
You take it
AmWhy take it'
GFast and ever
If you Fgave yourEmself a cDmhance...
Well CI don~t reGmember Fyou from Gany of those Embooks
Ashes to, ashes andC six Gfeet unFder faced Gdown in a Embox E
FWhere~d you ever Emlearn to treat me likeAm that'
F Em Am...
