C                  G                      C
I found a picture of you in black and white
F               C             G
Looking like Bob Dylan's disciple
C                   G                  C
The only thing left is a spark in your eye
F              G            C
In the ashes of rock and roll

C                  G                 C
You used to shine like the 4th of July
F             C             G
Looking like a midnight revival
C                  G              C 
To see you now is to watch a man die
F              G            C
In the ashes of rock and roll

Chorus:

Am                F            Am
You shining like fool's gold
               F
Shining like fool's gold
C                  G                    C 
You're out digging for what's left of our souls
F              G            C
In the ashes of rock and roll


C                  G                C
I remember when your love was full force
F               C             G
You held her hand like it was a bible
C                  
And just like last night
  G                     C
I found out about your divorce
F              G            C
In the ashes of rock and roll

C                  G                C
You used to run like a river in a flood
F               C          G
Out chopping down on your idols
C                            G           C
Now there's a cynic, dripping in your blood
F              G            C
In the ashes of rock and roll

Chorus:

Am                F            Am
You shining like fool's gold
               F
Shining like fool's gold
C                  G                    C 
You're out digging for what's left of our souls
F              G            C
In the ashes of rock and roll


Am              F       C G Am
I watched them come and go
                F            C G Am
I watched them taking their toll
      F       C G        Am
Maybe rock n' roll never dies
                 F    Am             
But it sure gets old
                  F   
Yeah it sure gets old

C                  G                C
You swore to me that we'd always be close
F               C          G        C
Singing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah
                  G                     C
Now you casting lots for my old man's clothes
F              G            C
In the ashes of rock and roll

  Am                F            Am
/You shining like fool's gold
               F
Shining like fool's gold
C                  G                    C 
You're out digging for what's left of our souls
F              G            C
In the ashes of rock and roll/
