INTRO:
C - G - E7 - Am - F - G - C - C/F - C

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

[Repeat verse progression]
You used to shine like the 4th of July
Looking like a midnight revival
To see you now is to watch a man die
In the ashes of rock and roll

Am                  F
Your shining like fool's gold
Am                 F
Shining like fool's gold
C            G                 E7           Am
You're out digging for what's left of our souls
F                 G        C - C/F - C
In the ashes of rock and roll

[Repeat verse progression]
I remember when your love was full force
You held her hand like it was a bible
And just like last night
I found out about your divorce
In the ashes of rock and roll

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

Am                 F
You shining like fool's gold
Am              G#
Shining like fool's gold
C            G               E7             Am
You're out digging for what's left of our souls
F                G         C - C/F - C
In the ashes of rock and roll

F                        C - G
I watched them come and go
F                             C - G
I watched them taking their toll
F              Am   G      F
Maybe rock n' roll never dies
                  Dm
But it sure gets old
Am                 E7
Yeah it sure gets old

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

Am                G#
You shining like fool's gold
G             F
Shining like fool's gold
C            G                 E7          Am
You're out digging for what's left of our souls
F                G         C - C/F - C
In the ashes of rock and roll

Shining like fool's gold
Yeah you're shining like fool's gold
You're out digging for what's left of our soul
In the ashes of rock and roll
