Ashes

Verse 1:
Dbm             E          B            Dbm
Watch that old fire as it flickers and dies
     E                 B            Gb
That once blessed the household and lit up our lives
    E             Gb               Dbm          B
It shone for the friends and the clinking of glasses
     Dbm          E              B            Dbm
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes

Verse 2:
Dbm          E               B             Dbm
Capture the wild things and bring them in line
    E            B           Gb
And own what was never your right to confine
    E             Gb             Dbm              B
The lives and the loves and the songs are what matters
     Dbm          E              B            Dbm
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes

Verse 3:
Dbm          E           B              Dbm
Do you feel heavy? Your eyes drop with grief
     E         B             Gb
Your spirit is wild and your suffering is brief
   E         Gb          Dbm           B
So never you buckle and bend to the masses
     Dbm          E              B            Dbm
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes

Verse 4:
Dbm            E           B               Dbm
Get round the fire with a glass of strong ale
    E         B           Gb
And tell us a story from beyond the pale
E         Gb         Dbm                  B
Bury some seeds and expect some strong branches
     Dbm           E              B            Dbm
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes

Verse 5:
Dbm            E            B            Dbm
Now show me a man that can meet all his needs
    E            B           Gb
For what we need most now is unity's seed:
  E          Gb            Dbm              B
a common old song for all creeds and all classes
     Dbm          E              B            Dbm
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes

     Dbm               Ab
I'll tend to the flame...

Verse 6:
Dbm              E        B           Dbm
What will we do when the world it is ending
     E         B           Gb
And time it is halted for friend and for foe?
E           Gb         Dbm          B
Try to hold on to the time as it passes
     Dbm          E              B            Dbm
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
     Dbm          E              B            Dbm
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
     Dbm          E              B            Dbm
I'll tend to the flame; you can worship the ashes
