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