Steve Earle: Ashes to Ashes
Chorus: Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Verse 1:
Em
A long time ago, before the ice and snow
Em C Em
There were giants, that walked this land
Em
Each step they took, the mighty mountains shook
C Em
And the trees took a knee, and the seas rolled in
Em
Then one day, they say the sky gave way
C Em
And death rained down, it made a terrible sound
Em
There was fire everywhere, and nothin was spared
C Em
That walked on the land, or flew through the air
D Em D C
When it all was over, the slate wiped clean with a touch
Em
There God stood, and he saw it was good
Em C Em
And he said, "Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust"
Chorus:
Em
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Em
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Verse 2:
Em
The sea gave birth, and it crawled up on the dirt
C Em
And stood up, and took a look around
Em
Said "I'm the next big thing, and the gift that I bring
Em C Em
comes directly from God, this ain't no holdin me down"
Em
So he crowned himself King, Now no one remembers his name
Em C Em
But the seed that he sowed, took the show on the road
Em
There was blood on their hands, and a plague on the land
Em C Em
They drew a line in the sand, and made their last stand
Em D Em D C
They said "God made us in his image, and it's in God that we trust
Em
When asked about the men, that had died by their hands
EM C Em
They said "Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust"
Chorus:
Em
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Em
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Solo:
Em C Em C Em D Em D C Em C Em
Verse 3:
Em
Now, nobody lives forever
C Em
Nothin stands, the test of time
Em
Oh, you heard'em say "Never say Never"
Em C Em
Ah but it's always best, to keep it in mind
Em
That every tower, ever built tumbles
Em C Em
No matter how strong, no matter how tall
Em
Some day, even great walls crumble
Em C Em
And every idol ever raised, falls
Em D Em
And someday, even man's best laid plans
Em D C
Will lie twisted, and covered in rust
C Em
When we've done all that we can, but it slipped through our hands
Em C Em
And it's "Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust"
Chorus:
Em
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Em
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
