[C]the tents go u[Am]p
as i [C]go down
down to the [Am]flats and into the so[C]und
the closer i [Am]get to the cit[F]y
the further [G]i am from memo[C]ry
in the green g[Am]rass looking u[C]p
for the wo[Am]rds of the angry s[C]un
[Am]'noone[C]' when he says '[F]noon[C]e'
yeah he means 'n[F]oon[C]e'
G into Riff
noone
[C]noone will surv[Am]ive
ash [C]wednesday ali[Am]ve
no sol[C]dier no lo[Am]ver
no fat[F]her no mother
n[G]ot a lonely ch[C]ild
in the [Am]up and in the bedr[C]oom
a black and w[Am]hite of the bride and the g[C]room
will bring me to my kn[Am]ees
with the colorized b[F]ad dream
that take[G]s its place on

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
