Ashes & Fire ~ Ryan Adams Capo on 3
Pretty easy lick that comes after every verse and played on open G-major(shape)throughout:
Hammer on the low E on the first downstrum for the bass sound and them a hammer on-and-off
on the B string first fret with index finger (again in the open Gmajor shape), to get that
“daa-de-daa sound.

1st Verse
G C G
As he stared past the fire
C G
His hunger to leave well it gnawed his poor heart alive
C G C G
Her skin smelled like black cherry blossom perfume
C G D
The sail boats, they all sail sailed by
C G
and the river she cried
2nd Verse
G C G
And the wind was suddenly sweeter than Roosevelt pine
C G
The windows broke out and the cigarette smoke drifted by
C G C G
The bums on the bowery they were swallowed in the lights
C G D
as cars rolled on by in the night
C G
screaming run for your life
Chorus
Em C G
With cool and silvery eyes
Em C G
in a heart that was fit for desires
Em C G
Drown in a river of tears oh
C G
the river she cried left
C D
her with a hea-----rt
C G
made of ashes and fire
Solo
Em C G

3rd Verse
G C G
One day there was a silence that washed through the town
C G
there was no reason to speak and no one made a sound
C G C G
Her eyes were indigo the cats were all calico
C G D
the sail boats they all sailed by
C G
in the river she cried
Chorus
Em C G
With cool and silvery eyes
Em C G
in a heart that was fit for desires
Em C G
Drown in a river of tears oh
C G
the river she cried left

her with a hea-----rt
C G
made of ashes and fire
Em C G
ashes and fire
Em C G
ashes and fire
