Subject: ASHES TO ASHES by The Wallflowers
(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...
