Ashen Shade chords by Girlyman

Capo 5th Fret, Standard tuning

Intro: C  x2
Verse 1
C
      There goes that old postman

C
      Riding    on   his      bike

C
    He's got a bag full of phone bills

B7
And nothing to justify

CHORUS 1:
A
   I'm as naked as a winter tree

D/A
  With promises remote

D/A
 Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade

   G
Observe the world below

C  x 2

Verse 2 (same as the first)
Once I had a calling
This town praised my hands
Now I'm sculpting apologies
Cause folks they don't understand

CHORUS 2 (same as the first chorus except the last chord does not resolve to a G,
rather it pulls to Em to start the bridge, so the last line should be as follows:)
   Em
Observe the world below

Bridge:
B7

G*(32000x)
I could change myself

C
There's so much else I could do

Cm
Except I always knew

       G/F#
I was deeper than dailyness

       D/A
I was made to be manifest

    G
The art like an amethyst of truth

Verse 3 (same as 1&2)
I know, it's only too clear
Spiders spin their webs year after year
I never had that kind of resolve
To know my fear, to face it at all

CHORUS 3
A
   I'm as naked as a winter tree

D/A
  With promises remote

D/A
 Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade

   A
Observe the world below         yeah   yeah

   G
Observe the world below
