C5 - A5

C5             A5
the tents go up
     C5
as i go down
            A5                   C5
down to the flats and into the sound
              A5            F5
 the closer i get to the city
            G5             C5
the further i am from memory

              A5            C5
in the green grass looking up
          A5                C5
for the words of the angry sun
A5    C5               F5   C5           
'noone' when he says 'noone'
                F5  C5
yeah he means 'noone'
G into Riff
noone

C5              A5
noone will survive
    C5            A5
ash wednesday alive
      C5         A5
no soldier no lover
      F5
no father no mother
 G5             C5
not a lonely child 
       A5                C5
in the up and in the bedroom
             A5                         C5
a black and white of the bride and the groom
                      A5
will bring me to my knees
                    F5
with the colorized bad dream 
         G5
that takes its place on
 C Am C Am C Am F 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
