CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:   Am    G7     C    F    G  C  
N.C.        Am        G7  C  
Here lies the village church
No Amcross no G7hymn no Cverse
All the Amcolours G7congreCgate in shades of grey
And the G7choir no longer Csings
And the Ambell no Clonger G7rings
Here Amlies the Gvillage Cchurch
N.C.          Am        G7  C  
Here stands the general store
Dust Ambeams point G7to the Cfloor
And Amnails in G7rusty canCs that never sold
There's a G7faded 'Sorry ClosCed'
On a Ampeeling Cpainted doorG7  
Here Amstands the Ggeneral Cstore
CHORUS:
And I just Fwalk around
Through this Cashen town
Leaving Fnot a trace
Of the G7last ghost Cin this place
N.C.         Am           G7  C  
Here waits the family home
ForAmsaken G7and alCone
On the Amwalls that G7kept them all Cso safe and warm
Peeling G7paper water stainCed
'God's AmBlessing' Cin it's frameG7  
Here Amwaits the Gfamily Chome
CHORUS:
And I just Fwalk around
Through this Cashen town
Leaving Fnot a trace
Of the G7last ghost Cin this place
CHORUS:
And I just Fwalk around
Through this Cashen town
Leaving Fnot a trace
Of the G7last ghost Cin this place
N.C.        Am         G7  C  
Here rests my father's bones
With Amcracked and G7fallen Cstones
AmMarked by G7weathered crosCs and worn words
No G7flowers left behinCd
To Ammark the passing timeG7  
Here Amrests my Gfather's Cbones
CHORUS:
And I just Fwalk around
Through this Cashen town
Leaving Fnot a trace
Of the G7last ghost Cin this place
CHORUS:
And I just Fwalk around
Through this Cashen town
Leaving Fnot a trace
Of the G7last ghost Cin this place

Dave Gunning - Ashen Town

CAPO: 2nd Fret

Am G7 C F G C

INTRO:

Am G7 C

N.C.

Here lies the village church

Am G7 C

No cross no hymn no verse

Am G7 C

All the colours congregate in shades of grey

G7 C

And the choir no longer sings

Am C G7

And the bell no longer rings

Am G C

Here lies the village church

Am G7 C

N.C.

Here stands the general store

Am G7 C

Dust beams point to the floor

Am G7 C

And nails in rusty cans that never sold

G7 C

There's a faded 'Sorry Closed'

Am C G7

On a peeling painted door

Am G C

Here stands the general store

CHORUS:

And I just walk around

Through this ashen town

Leaving not a trace

G7 C

Of the last ghost in this place

Am G7 C

N.C.

Here waits the family home

Am G7 C

Forsaken and alone

Am G7 C

On the walls that kept them all so safe and warm

G7 C

Peeling paper water stained

Am C G7

'God's Blessing' in it's frame

Am G C

Here waits the family home

CHORUS:

And I just walk around

Through this ashen town

Leaving not a trace

G7 C

Of the last ghost in this place

CHORUS:

And I just walk around

Through this ashen town

Leaving not a trace

G7 C

Of the last ghost in this place

Am G7 C

N.C.

Here rests my father's bones

Am G7 C

With cracked and fallen stones

Am G7 C

Marked by weathered cross and worn words

G7 C

No flowers left behind

Am G7

To mark the passing time

Am G C

Here rests my father's bones

CHORUS:

And I just walk around

Through this ashen town

Leaving not a trace

G7 C

Of the last ghost in this place

CHORUS:

And I just walk around

Through this ashen town

Leaving not a trace

G7 C

Of the last ghost in this place
