C-Am

C majorC       A minorAm
the tents go up
   C majorC
as i go down
      A minorAm          C majorC
down to the flats and into the sound
       A minorAm      FF
 the closer i get to the city
      G+G       C majorC
the further i am from memory

       A minorAm      C majorC
in the green grass looking up
     A minorAm        C majorC
for the words of the angry sun
A minorAm  C majorC        FF  C majorC
'noone' when he says 'noone'
        FF C majorC
yeah he means 'noone'
G+G into Riff
noone

C majorC       A minorAm
noone will survive
  C majorC      A minorAm
ash wednesday alive
   C majorC     A minorAm
no soldier no lover
   FF
no father no mother
 G+G       C majorC
not a lonely child
    A minorAm        C majorC
in the up and in the bedroom
       A minorAm             C majorC
a black and white of the bride and the groom
           A minorAm
will bring me to my knees
          FF
with the colorized bad dream
     G+G
that takes its place on
 C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm FF G+G --> Riff
ash wednesday

(Same chords continue)

white noise and love
will be my only drug
on this day nine
suns away
from that sad sad saturday
when fire my friend
fire my villain
you take away yesterday
to give to me today
when nothing's free no now it's
ash wednesday

so each day is ash wednesday
all this life is ash wednesday

all the doors are shut
and the windows barely opened up
the fires all around
it's the ending of the drought
and we are ready now
for tear gas clouds
on my mind
come on fill the house
finally and weep
for it's king and queen sleep
both now
in the arms of
ash wednesday
ash wednesday
