Ashes To Ashes

        Am
        A long time ago, before the 
ice and snow

        Am           F        
        There were giants, that 
                    Am
walked this land

        Am
        Each step they took, the 
mighty mountains shook

                F                  
        And the trees took a knee, 
        Am
and the seas rolled in

        Am
        Then one day, they say the 
sky gave way

            F                    
        And death rained down, it 
        Am
made a terrible sound

        Am
        There was fire everywhere, 
and nothin was spared

             F                     
        That walked on the land, or
 Am
 flew through the air

        G               Am        
        When it all was over, the 
G                        F
slate wiped clean with a touch

        Am
        There God stood, and he saw 
it was good

        Am              F         
        And he said, "Ashes to 
       Am
Ashes and Dust to Dust"


Chorus:
        Am
        Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

        Am
        Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust


Verse 2:
        Am
        The sea gave birth, and it 
crawled up on the dirt

                F               
        And stood up, and took a 
            Am
look around

        Am
        Said "I'm the next big 
thing, and the gift that I bring

        Am     F               
        comes directly from God, 
                    Am
this ain't no holdin me down"

        Am
        So he crowned himself King, 
Now no one remembers his name

        Am      F                 
        But the seed that he 
           Am
sowed, took the show on the road

        Am
        There was blood on their 
hands, and a plague on the land

        Am    F               
        They drew a line in the 
            Am
sand, and made their last stand

        Am         G              
        They said "God made us in 
    Am              G              
his image, and it's in God that we 
F
trust

        Am
        When asked about the men, 
that had died by their hands

        Am         F              
        They said "Ashes to Ashes 
    Am
and Dust to Dust"


Chorus:
        Am
        Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

        Am
        Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust



        Solo:

            Am  F  Am   F   Am  

 G  Am  G  F  Am  F  Am


Verse 3:

        Am
        Now, nobody lives forever

        F                          
        Nothin stands, the test of 
Am
time

        Am
        Oh, you heard'em say "Never 
say Never"

        Am          F             
        Ah but it's always best, 
             Am
to keep it in mind

        Am
        That every tower, ever built
 tumbles

        Am        F              
        No matter how strong, no 
Am
matter how tall

        Am
        Some day, even great walls 
crumble

        Am  F                     
        And every idol ever 
  Am
raised, falls

        Am  G                   
        And someday, even man's best
Am
 laid plans

        Am       G          
        Will lie twisted, and 
             F
covered in rust

        F                Am
        When we've done all that we 
can, but it slipped through our 
hands

        Am        F               
        And it's "Ashes to Ashes 
   Am
and Dust to Dust"


Chorus:

        Am
        Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust

        Am
        Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
