Dave Gunning - Ashen Town

      
 
 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

            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
