Johnny Rivers – Ashes And Sand (Guitar)

Am
These feelings have been building up

                Gm
Around us for a long time

Am                        Bb
I remember days when your true lovin' ways

                         Dm         D       C
Flowed thru my life just like sweet wine

Gm
And lately you've been acting strange

Am
You feel you need a change

        Bb
There's nothing I can do to make you stay

Gm                 G                        Gm
So if you must say goodbye

Bb                                      F   Bb
This is as good a time as any for me to cry

Am
How can they say that somehow

       Gm
It all works out for the good

Am
When life can be so cruel

C        Bb                             Dm
You feel just like a fool, you know you should

Gm                           Bb           Am
What happened to our dreams, all our well laid schemes

            Bb                          F      C
We just let them slip right on thru our hands

Gm
And all that's left when the fire is gone

Bb                                     F      Am Gm Am
Is just some ashes and a little bit of sand.

Dm                            G
So naive to think it could be sunshine all the way

              Am      Bb
Look out here comes a rainy day

                      F
You know, I'll always love you deep inside

          D#                       Dm
And girl, I know you never lied to me

B                                F#
Oh there was a time we could fly so high

              E
They couldn't catch us if they tried

D#m           D#               G#
They couldn't catch us if they tried.
