Ashes by The Longest Johns - Guitar Chords
<< Back to The Longest Johns Song List
Version 1 Version 2
[Verse 1]
Am C G Am
Watch that old fire as it flickers and dies
C G D
That once blessed the household and lit up our lives
C G D Am
It shone for the friends and the clinking of glasses
Am C G Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
[Verse 2]
Am C G Am
Capture the wild things and bring them in line
C G D
And own what was never your right to confine
C G D Am
The lives and the loves and the songs are what matters
Am C G Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
[Verse 3]
Am C G Am
Do you feel heavy? Your eyes drop with grief
C G D
Your spirit is wild and your suffering is brief
C G D Am
So never you buckle and bend to the masses
Am C G Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
[Verse 4]
Am C G Am
Get round the fire with a glass of strong ale
C G D
And tell us a story from beyond the pale
C G D Am
Bury some seeds and expect some strong branches
Am C G Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
[Verse 5]
Am C G Am
Now show me a man that can meet all his needs
C G D
For what we need most now is unity's seed:
C G D Am
A common old song for all creeds and all classes
Am C G Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
Am C
I'll tend to the flame...
[Verse 6]
Am C G Am
What will we do when the world it is ending
C G D
And time it is halted for friend and for foe?
C G D Am
Try to hold on to the time as it passes
Am C G Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
Am C G Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
Am C G Am
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
