Ashen Town

Am G7 C F G C N.C. Am G7 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 N.C. Am G7 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 F And I just walk around C Through this ashen town F Leaving not a trace G7 C Of the last ghost in this place N.C. Am G7 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 F And I just walk around C Through this ashen town F Leaving not a trace G7 C Of the last ghost in this place F And I just walk around C Through this ashen town F Leaving not a trace G7 C Of the last ghost in this place N.C. Am G7 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 F And I just walk around C Through this ashen town F Leaving not a trace G7 C Of the last ghost in this place F And I just walk around C Through this ashen town F Leaving not a trace G7 C Of the last ghost in this place
