Ash & Iron Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Upbeat music
Upbeat music
away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away,
away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away
It's now and the days begin to dim
So dark the shadows are
to close me in
Outside I hear the shutters
bangin' and the howlin' wind
So dark the shadows are to close me in
Well lately I've been feelin' like
there's no one I can trust
Everything that I've got left,
I've left to rust
These precious memories
only sit around and gather dust
And everything that I've got left,
I've left to rust
[D]Well, Mother,
please forgive [C]your [Am]son
[C]That is my [D]one [Am]and prayer
I got [D]the taste of ash and
iron on my [Am]tongue
Oh, every [G]word I live
escapes [D]me in the [Am]end
Well, a bare light bulb,
it swings above a mattress on the floor
I listen for my angels singing low
I set the static dial on the radio
And I hear my angels singing
sweet and low
[D]Well, mother,
please forgive [C]your [Am]son
[C]That is my [D]one [Am]an d prayer
I got [D]a piece of ash and iron
on my [Am]tongue
Whoever it [G]were, I'd let escape,
[D]ain't in the air[Am]
The nights are growing colder
now and the days begin to dim
So dark the shadows are
that close me in
Outside I hear the shutters
bangin' in the howlin' wind
So dark the shadows
hardly close me in
[D]Mother, please forgive [C]your [Am]son
[C]That is my [D]one and only [Am]prayer
I got [D]the taste of ash and
iron on [C]my [Am]tongue
Oh, every [G]word I let escape
[D]hangs in the [Am]air
Oh, every [G]word I let escape
[D]hangs in the [Am]air
Oh, every [G]word I let escape
[D]hangs in the [Am]air

[Outro 1]
Breathe, breathe, breathe
[Am][G][D]
