[D] [A]
[Bm] [A] A true bright blue fog [E] is in the wind [A] spinning free
[Bm] [G] Visible in eternity
[A]
Painted [Em] with the skin of [A] sky, blushes and [E] clouds of sea
[Bm] Crawling home for you and [A] me
[Bm] A [A] peaceful place, the [E] story lurks from [A] space
[Bm] A closer [G] look reveals the human [A] race
[Em] Full of hope, full of grace [A] is the human [E] face
[Bm] But afraid, [A] we merely are homes away
[Em] There's a fear [D] down here [A] we can't [E] forget
[D] [A] [Em] Hasn't [A] forgotten, ain't just [E] yet
[D] [A] [E] Always awake, [A] always [E] arouse
[D] [A] [E] Singing ashes, ashes all fall down
[Bb] Ashes, ashes all fall down
[Bm] Now watch [A] as the ball ripples [E] and the night [A] time falls
[Bm] And [G] again the hunt [A] begins, again the floodwind calls
[Em] Now and [Am] again it [E] all surprises
[Bm] The darkness never goes [A] from some man's eyes
Oh [Bm] no, [A] it's full of [E] sidewalks and it rolls the [A] streets
[Bm] Staking [G] curve, dividing [A] up me
[Em] Nightmare school, [A] [E] easy peasy
[Bm] Smoothie,
[A] fool me, I [E] can't do it
Flash [A] blade and ghetto night, [E]
[D] [A] [E] [Em] living [A] for a [E] fight
[D] [A] [E] Rock [A] out how they wrote them [E] poems
[D] [A] [E] Eat [Em] that cash [A] to feed that Jones
[E] And the [A] politicians, throwing stones
[E] Singing ashes, ashes all [A] fall down
[Em] Ashes, ashes all fall down
[Dbm] Commissars [A] and pinstripe [E] bosses roll the dice
[Bb] [Bm] Any way [E] they fall, guess who gets to pay the price
Money [A] green, a [E] broil hair in gray
Selling [D] guns, [A] instead of food you pay
So [E] the [Em] kids they [A] dance and shake their [E] bones
And the politicians, [A] throwing stones
[E] Singing ashes, [A] ashes all fall down
Ashes, ashes all fall [Bm] down
[A] Heartless [E] [A]
[Bm] [G] [A]
[Em] [A] [E]
[Bm] [A]
[Bm] [A] powers try to tell us [E] what to [A] think
The [Bm] [G] spirit's sleeping in the [A] flesh's ink
There, [Em] the mystery's paid
[A] To be made with a [E] stone
[Bm] The future's here, [A] we are on our own
[A] On our own, [Em] on our [A] own, on our own
[D] [A]
[E] [A]
[D] [A]

[E] [A]
[Bm] [A] [E] [A]
[D] [A]
[Bm] [A] [E]
[A] [D] [A]
[Dbm] Either [A] king is lost, [E] or we're all the same
[Bm] No one [Bb] left [A] in place to [E] take the blame
We will leave this place an empty stone
For [D] that shining ball of glue
[A] We can call our own
So [E] the [Em] kids they [A] dance and shake their [Em] bones
And the politicians, [A] throwing stones
[E] Singing ashes, ashes all [A] fall [E] down
Ashes, ashes all fall down
[D]
[E] [D]
[E] Shooting the powerless 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 glint of fashion, step the pace
[Bm] [A] [E] Use your step [A] to fall out of [E] grace
[D] In [A] [E] the radical, [A] here rise in [E] rage
[D] [E] Singing someone got to turn the page
[D] [A] [E] In the rich man in his [A] summer [E] home
[D] Singing [A] [E] just leave it, enough alone
[D] [A] Put [E] his pants down, [A] scuff his [E] bone
[D] When [A] [E] the [A] politicians, throwing [E] stones
So the kids they dance and [A] shake their [E] bones
Cause it's all too clear, we're [A] on our [Em] own
Singing ashes, ashes [A] all fall [E] down
Ashes, ashes [Bm] all fall down
[A] Picture a bright blue, [E] bald and spinnin', [A] spinnin' grey
[Bm] [G] Thinking about [A] possibilities
Ashes, ashes all fall down
[E]
Ashes, ashes all fall down
Ashes, ashes all fall down
Ashes, ashes [N] all fall down
Ashes, ashes all fall down
Ashes, ashes all fall down
Ashes, ashes all fall [E] down
Ashes, ashes all fall down
ashes, [N] ashes all fall down
ashes, ashes all fall down, ashes, ashes all fall down, ashes, ashes all fall down, ashes,
[E]
ashes, all fall down
