Ashes To Ashes
	(words & music by Jakob Dylan)


Basically the rhythm guitar for this song is played in a power chord fashion.
 I will not transcribe it like that because the organ plays regular chord
shapes.  Just like father like son, I have a bit of the problem understanding
what Dylan is saying but I will try my best:


Intro:  F (133211@1)  Em (022000@1)  Am (x02210@1)(4x)
