Chords for Grateful Dead - Throwing Stones (Studio Version)

[D] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] Picture [A] a bright blue ball [E] just sitting [A] and spinning free,
_ [Bm] _ [G] dizzy with [A] eternity. _
_ _ [Em] Painted with the skin of sky [A] brushes [E] and cloudless sea.
[Bm] All at home for you and me.
[A] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ [A] Peaceful place, the [E] soarer looks [A] from space.
_ [Bm] Closer [G] look reveals the human [A] race. _
_ _ [Em] Full of hope, full of [A] grace is the human [E] face.
[Bm] But afraid, [A] we lay our hopes and ways.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] There's a future [D] down here we [A] can't [E] forget.
_ [D] _ [A] _ [Em] Hasn't forgotten, [A] ain't [E] just yet.
_ [D] _ _ [A] [Em] Always [A] awake, always [E] around.
_ [D] _ [A] _ [E] Singing ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, [F] ashes all fall [Bm] down.
Now watch as [A] the ball revolves and [E] the night time [A] falls.
_ [Bm] _
And again [G] the hunt begins, [A] again the floodwind [E] calls. _
[Em] Flying by [A] again, the morning [E] sun arrives.
[Bm] The darkness never goes, [A] some men's eyes.
Oh no, [Bm]
the [A] school's a sidewalk and [E] it rolls [A] the streets.
_ [Bm]
Staking [G] curve, [A] dividing up meat.
_ _ [Em] _
Nightmare spook, [E] Jesus, it's [Bm] you and me.
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] Hey, flash blade in [A] ghetto [E] night.
_ [D] _ [A] _ [E] [Em] He's looking [A] for a [E] fight.
_ [D] _ [A] _ [E] Cat [A] alley, rope, [E] limbo.
_ [D] _ [A] _ [E] [Em] Meet that Cassidy, [A] that [E] Jones.
And the politicians, [A] growing stones.
[E] Singing ashes, ashes all [A] fall down.
[Em]
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
[C#m] _ [A] Commissars and pinstripe [E] bosses roll the dice.
_ [D] _ [Bm] Any way [D] they fall, guess who [E] gets to pay the price.
_ _ Money green, [A] [E] a broader grade.
_ _ [D] Selling guns instead of food [A] today.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] So the kids fed dance [A] and shake their bones.
And the [E] politicians, [A] growing stones.
[E] Singing ashes, ashes [A] all [E] fall down.
Ashes, [F#] ashes all [Bm] fall down. _
[A] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
Heartless [A] powers try to tell us [E] what to [A] think.
_ [Bm] _
The spirit's [G] sleeping, then [A] the flesh is ink.
_ [Em] Death is this [A] page.
The [E] God is gone.
[Bm] The future's here.
We [A] are it.
We are on our own.
_ [A] On our own.
[G] On [A] our own.
[G] On our own.
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ [A] _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ [A] _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [A] _ _ [E] We are [A] _ _ _ _ [D] [A] on our own.
On our own.
On our own.
If _
[C#m] the king [A] is lost, then [E] we're all the same. _ _
[Bm] [A#] No one left [A] a place to [E] take a blank. _
We will leave this place an empty stone.
_ [D] For that shining ball of blue.
[A] We can call our home. _
_ _ [E] So the kids fed dance and shake [A] their [Em] bones.
And the politicians, [A] growing stones.
[E] Singing ashes, ashes all [A] fall down.
[E]
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
_ [D] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ Shooting colors back and forth. _
_ Singing black goes south and white comes north. _
_ In a whole world full of petty wars. _ _
Singing I got mine and you got yours. _ _
In the current [A] fashion, step the [E] pace.
[D] _ _
[E] Lose your step, fall out of grace.
_ [D] _ [A]
[E] In the radical, [A] here I [E] enrage.
_ [D] _ [A]
[E] Singing someone got to turn the page.
[D] _ [A] [E] In the rich manliness [A] on a [E] whole.
_ [D] _ [A] [E] Singing just leave it enough alone.
_ [D] _ [A] [E] When it's time to [A] don't, the scuff [E] is blown.
_ [D] _ [A] _ [E] And the politicians, [A] growing [E] stones.
So the kids fed dance and [A] shake their [E] bones.
Cause it's all too clear, we're all [A] our own.
[Em] Singing ashes, ashes all [A] fall [E] down.
Ashes, [Bm] ashes all fall down.
Picture [A] a bright blue ball [E] just spinning, [A] spinning free.
_ [Bm] It's [G] dizzying, the possibilities.
[A] _ _
_ Ashes, ashes all [E] fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all [N] fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Singing ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Falls, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Singing ashes, ashes all fall.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down.
Ashes, ashes all fall down. _
