Ashes & Fire ~ Ryan Adams  Capo on 3

Pretty easy lick that comes after every verse and played on open G-major(shape)throughout:
Hammer on the low E MajorE on the first downstrum for the bass sound and them a hammer on-and-off
on the BB string first fret with index finger (again in the open Gmajor shape), to get that
?daa-de-daa sound.


1st Verse

G+G   C majorC        G+G
As he stared past the fire
              C majorC           G+G
His hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive
  C majorC            G+G   C majorC    G+G
Her skin smelled like black cherry blossom perfume
  C majorC      G+G       D MajorD
The sail boats, they all sail sailed by
    C majorC     G+G
and the river she cried

2nd Verse

G+G             C majorC           G+G
And the wind was suddenly sweeter than Roosevelt pine
               C majorC            G+G
The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke drifted by
  C majorC      G+G        C majorC        G+G
The bums on the bowery they were swallowed in the lights
  C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
as cars rolled on by in the night
     C majorC      G+G
screaming run for your life


Chorus

   E minorEm    C majorC    G+G
With cool and silvery eyes
   E minorEm       C majorC    G+G
in a heart that was fit for desires
E minorEm     C majorC    G+G
Drown in a river of tears oh
  C majorC     G+G
the river she cried left
C majorC     D MajorD
her with a hea-----rt
    C majorC     G+G
made of ashes and fire

One day there was a silence that washed through the town
            C majorC            G+G
there was no reason to speak and no one made a sound
  C majorC     G+G     C majorC       G+G
Her eyes were indigo the cats were all calico
  C majorC        G+G     D MajorD
the sail boats they all sailed by
    C majorC     G+G
in the river she cried

her with a hea-----rt
