Ash Wednesday - Alt Version

Intro  
C F 


[Verso 1]
 
                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 


[Refrão]

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 


[Refrão]
 
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
