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)

F Em Am

Well you can walk like a stranger, head back in your hair

F Em Am

Bringing gifts, while you act so sincere

F Em Am F Em Am

F Em Am

Bringing gifts, oh boy, he~s five years

F Em Am

A game for rocks and traini...ing wheels

F Em Am F Em Am

Am

C G F G Em

Well I don~t remember you from any of those books

C G F G Em E

Ashes to ashes, and six feet under face down in a box

F Em Am

Where~d you ever learn to treat me like that

F Em Am F Em Am

F Em Am

You don~t see that, baby ahh..., that famous stuff

F Em Am

You know the Harvard folds law, that penniless rough

F Em Am F Em Am

F Em Am

Your bad luck follows you like a heart attack

F Em Am

Twist your fingers, soon as break your back

F Em Am F Em Am

Am

C G F G Em

Well I don~t remember you from any of those books

C G F G Em E

Ashes to ashes, and six feet under face down in a box

F Em Am

Where~d you ever learn to treat me like that

F Em Am

F Em Am

It~s coming from another withered mother who~s just like yours

F Em Am

Bringing you aches and all those mental sores

F Em Am

Take a little half, so need some for yourself

F Em Am

Like an itty in the gritty, they always seem by themselves

F Em Am

Well you must be, had-to-be, one of these

F Em Am

Honey, on the shed on the open tree

F Em Am

Didn~t I meet you once in a liquor store

F Em Am

I think I saw you hanging by the stage door

F Em Am

Handing out programs to the family theater

F Em Am

Deprive the row, so you don~t miss her or treat her

Am Am Am Am

You take it

Am

Why take it?

G

Fast and ever

F Em Dm

If you gave yourself a chance...

C G F G Em

Well I don~t remember you from any of those books

C G F G Em E

Ashes to, ashes and six feet under faced down in a box

F Em Am

Where~d you ever learn to treat me like that?

F Em Am...
