Dave Gunning - Ashen Town
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: Am G7 C F G C
N.C. Am G7 C
Here lies the village church
Am G7 C
No cross no hymn no verse
Am G7 C
All the colours congregate in shades of grey
G7 C
And the choir no longer sings
Am C G7
And the bell no longer rings
Am G C
Here lies the village church
N.C. Am G7 C
Here stands the general store
Am G7 C
Dust beams point to the floor
Am G7 C
And nails in rusty cans that never sold
G7 C
There's a faded 'Sorry Closed'
Am C G7
On a peeling painted door
Am G C
Here stands the general store
CHORUS:
F
And I just walk around
C
Through this ashen town
F
Leaving not a trace
G7 C
Of the last ghost in this place
N.C. Am G7 C
Here waits the family home
Am G7 C
Forsaken and alone
Am G7 C
On the walls that kept them all so safe and warm
G7 C
Peeling paper water stained
Am C G7
'God's Blessing' in it's frame
Am G C
Here waits the family home
CHORUS:
F
And I just walk around
C
Through this ashen town
F
Leaving not a trace
G7 C
Of the last ghost in this place
CHORUS:
F
And I just walk around
C
Through this ashen town
F
Leaving not a trace
G7 C
Of the last ghost in this place
N.C. Am G7 C
Here rests my father's bones
Am G7 C
With cracked and fallen stones
Am G7 C
Marked by weathered cross and worn words
G7 C
No flowers left behind
Am G7
To mark the passing time
Am G C
Here rests my father's bones
CHORUS:
F
And I just walk around
C
Through this ashen town
F
Leaving not a trace
G7 C
Of the last ghost in this place
CHORUS:
F
And I just walk around
C
Through this ashen town
F
Leaving not a trace
G7 C
Of the last ghost in this place
