Log Hearth And Ash

D Gm A Dm D Gm There are others in this house, I hear them calling from the outer rooms A Dm Log, hearth and ash under stale kerosene fumes D Gm Footsteps in the saddening snow lead me farther from this place A Dm Second chair drums keeping swaggering pace F Bbm But there are few who know where I'm going A And few who know where I've been A Not again F C I've burned my desire, placed it upon the pyre Gm F# Seen the floors cave in and our hearts swell within F C Turned water into piss, felt sodden and soiled from a wretched kiss Gm A# A Filled an ocean with tears, all within just 27 years D Gm A Dm 2x D Gm Spare me the compassion that other men might show A Dm All has been lost in the harvest moon glow D Gm With hateful embers in my chest, I'll go wandering through the night A Dm With godspeed I'll travel downward hence the light F Bbm But there are few who know where I'm going A And few who know where I've been A Not again F C I've burned my desire, placed it upon the pyre Gm F# Seen the floors cave in and our hearts swell within F C Turned water into piss, felt sodden and soiled from a wretched kiss Gm A# A Filled an ocean with tears, all within just 27 years D Gm A Dm 2x D* Gm* A The pages of my time-worn life, written in blood D* Gm* The skin will peel, the wounds won't heal A Awaiting the flood F C I've burned my desire, placed it upon the pyre Gm F# Seen the floors cave in and our hearts swell within F C Turned water into piss, felt sodden and soiled from a wretched kiss Gm A# A Filled an ocean with tears, all within just 27 years The ending is Dm A# A repeating, end on Dm ************************************ * = Let it ring ************************************
