[Verse 1]
      D                         
There once was a man who thought 
 G
love was warm
      D                            
Hell, stop me if you've heard this 
A
story before
         D                      
He had a purple heart, but who's 
 G
keeping score
          D                      
There's a lot of purple hearts in 
     A
the purple heart store
         G                     
He was a commandant, now he's a 
 A
penitent

On Ash Wednesday

[Verse 2]
      D                   G
There once was a woman, a pretty 
young thing
    D                   A
She sold her soul for a diamond ring
    D                     G
She heard about love in a magazine
       D                       A
Saw it every Friday night on a movie
 screen
          G                     
She was a debutante, now she's a 
 A
penitent

[Verse 3]
             D                  A
They're both love sick, they're love
 tired
     D                             
They strayed a little close to the 
G
edge of the fire
      D                         
Their hands got burned and their 
 A
eyebrows singed
        D                          
They're walking down the streets of
  G
 oblivion
         D                      
They got holes in their pockets, 
 A
holes in their minds
        D                 G
They're holy people in an unholy 
time
Bm                            A
Heading for the church at the end of
 the line

Ash Wednesday

[Chorus]
                        F#m        
See them hanging out in every 
          Em
lonely place

They'll tell you love can't hurt 
them now
                G             A
But they've got ashes on their face

[Instrumental]

They'll tell you love can't hurt 
them now
                G             A
But they've got ashes on their face

[Verse 4]
          D                    
We're all love sick, we're love 
 A
tired
   D                            
We strayed a little close to the 
 G

Our hands got burned and our
