Ashes Of Dreams chords by Keiichi Okabe

Tuning: EADGBE

Verse 1:
Bbm7             Eb            Ab
Once there were trees full of birds.
Bbm7        C7           Fm
Meadowlands vibrant with flowers.
Bbm7          Eb         Ab            Db
Carefree the songs our children once sang
Bbm7        Bdim        C/F C
Gilding our minutes and hours


Bbm7             Eb         Ab
Clouds came and covered the sun,
     Bb          C7      Fm
The breath of the baleful unease
Bbm7        Eb   Ab               Db
Turning to ashes flowers in their fields
Bb           Bdim           Dm11 C
Silenced the birds in their trees.

Chorus:
Fm        Bbm     Eb       Ab
Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
Db            Bbm       Dm11
Imprisoned in twisting spells
C          Fm           Bbm         Eb         Ab
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
     Db     Bbm7    Eb         C7      Fm
That we're telling ourselves, telling ourselves?

Verse 2:
Bbm7            Eb           Ab
Strive till the phantoms are broken,
B7             C7        Fm
Fight till the battle is done;
    Bbm7         Eb           Ab          Db
The squadrons of night, Can't conquer the day
Bbm7          Bdim         Dm11 C
Nor shadows extinguish the sun.

Chorus 2:
Fm         Bbm     Eb        Ab
Stories of danger, fearless attack,
Db          Bbm        Dm11
Specters of plague and pain.
C            Fm            Bbm    Eb          Ab
All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back
     Db       Bbm7    Eb    C7      Fm
And we'll be haunted again, haunted again.

Bridge:
    Fm                 Bbm      Eb
For tho the storms are over and past,
           Eb/C                         Fm
Though the thunder's rage is quieted at last
Bbm                           Eb/C        C             Fm
Well this nightmare's laid me down in the rags here to mourn,
         Ab
Here to mourn.
    Fm                Bbm           Eb
The night has left us crippled with grief
      Cm             Fm      Fm
As we strive to keep alive our belief,
      Bbm                              Bbm            C
But a loss so great, it clouds all our hopes for the dawn

Fm        Bbm     Eb       Ab
Hidden so deep in veils of deceit,
Db            Bbm       Dm11
Imprisoned in twisting spells
C          Fm           Bbm         Eb         Ab
Are we the plaything of fiends, or merely the dreams
     Db     Bbm7    Eb
That we're telling ourselves

C7          Fm         Bbm     Eb        Ab
Telling our Stories of danger, fearless attack,
Db          Bbm        Dm11
Specters of plague and pain.
C            Fm            Bbm    Eb          Ab
All of these ghosts of our own delusions come back
     Db       Bbm7      Eb   C7         Fm
Have we been fighting in vain? fighting in vain?
