Ash Wednesday - Alt Version chords by There Will Be Fireworks

• Difficulty: Intermediate 💪

Intro:

C F


Verse:
                C
The cold from December still lingered in
F
March
                C
And all of the people who stay in these
                     F
houses are falling apart
                C                       F
He sits in the corner and sharpens his teeth
           C
Bartering all of his blood while the sirens
                 F
sing out in the street

Chorus:
Am            G
Left at last call
          C            G     F
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
Am                    G
He slept through the night
          C              G             F
And they came and they traced him in white
            C
On Ash Wednesday


Interlude:
C Csus4 C F  x2


Verse:
                 C
While you were sleeping I'm up singing
  F
songs that I'd rather not sing
                    C
The earth turned about him
                   F
The shadows are lengthening

I think it's spring
                        C
But you're woke by the phone dropped to
                    F
the floor in the kitchen
                        C
The TV was flickering, hissing the news

Some far flung half truths
     F
But home's where the heart is

And home's where the hurt is too

Chorus:
Am                G
I left at last call
           C         G   F
Dreamed a ghost on the 44
Am         G         C          G
In amber light, the city sleeps peaceful
   Am
tonight
            C
On Ash Wednesday
