A minorAm       C majorC
I'm The King of Ashes
G+G        A minorAm
Nothing from the flame survives
C majorC      G+G
Hands can't turn the tides
        D MajorD
I have been consumed

    A minorAm           C majorC    G+G
And the road runs straight from Tarsus
     A minorAm
But I am mystified
C majorC        G+G
I would you were by my side
     D MajorD
These are mortal wounds
         A minorAm   C majorC
These are mortal wounds
   G+G     A minorAm  C majorC G+G  D MajorD A minorAm
Yeah heh, yeah heh


        C majorC       G+G
And they cannot hear my plea
       A minorAm
They will not play my tunes
C majorC      G+G
Melodies in rented rooms
         D MajorD   A minorAm
Price for seeing true


         C majorC    G+G
But I can't court fashion
     A minorAm    C majorC
Let me be who I am
     G+G
Far from savage lands
      D MajorD
I will be renewed
    G+G  A minorAm  G+G   A minorAm C majorC G+G D MajorD A minorAm
I will be renew___ed, yeah

      C majorC   G+G
The King of Ashes
     A minorAm     C majorC
Whoever's by my side
      G+G
Across the great divide
  C majorC   G+G     D MajorD  A minorAm
And Mary, I'll love you


      C majorC
The King of Ashes
G+G        A minorAm    C majorC
Hm, my heart is open wide
       G+G
I pray you're satisfied
     C majorC    G+G   D MajorD
And it's all that I can do
          A minorAm C majorC    G+G     A minorAm
It's all that I can do__oo, yeah heh, yeah, yeah
