Tom: Am
Am
A long time ago, before the ice and snow
Am F Am
There were giants, that walked this land
Am
Each step they took, the mighty mountains shook
F Am
And the trees took a knee, and the seas rolled in
Am
Then one day, they say the sky gave way
F Am
And death rained down, it made a terrible sound
Am
There was fire everywhere, and nothin was spared
F Am
That walked on the land, or flew through the air
G Am G F
When it all was over, the slate wiped clean with a touch
Am
There God stood, and he saw it was good
Am F Am
And he said, "Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust"
Chorus:
Am
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Am
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Verse 2:
Am
The sea gave birth, and it crawled up on the dirt
F Am
And stood up, and took a look around
Am
Said "I'm the next big thing, and the gift that I bring
Am F Am
comes directly from God, this ain't no holdin me down"
Am
So he crowned himself King, Now no one remembers his name
Am F Am
But the seed that he sowed, took the show on the road
Am
There was blood on their hands, and a plague on the land
Am F Am
They drew a line in the sand, and made their last stand
Am G Am G F
They said "God made us in his image, and it's in God that we trust
Am
When asked about the men, that had died by their hands
Am F Am
They said "Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust"
Chorus:
Am
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Am
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Solo:
Am F Am F Am G Am G F Am F Am
Verse 3:
Am
Now, nobody lives forever
F Am
Nothin stands, the test of time
Am
Oh, you heard'em say "Never say Never"
Am F Am
Ah but it's always best, to keep it in mind
Am
That every tower, ever built tumbles
Am F Am
No matter how strong, no matter how tall
Am
Some day, even great walls crumble
Am F Am
And every idol ever raised, falls
Am G Am
And someday, even man's best laid plans
Am G F
Will lie twisted, and covered in rust
F Am
When we've done all that we can, but it slipped through our hands
Am F Am
And it's "Ashes to Ashes and Dust to Dust"
Chorus:
Am
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
Am
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust
