Ashen Shade

Intro: G       C   F C  x2
Verse 1
G                           C      F  C
      There goes that old postman

G                           C      F  C
      Riding    on   his      bike

G                           C         F  C
    He's got a bag full of phone bills

E                     Am   B7
And nothing to justify

CHORUS 1:
Em*     Em/D#      G6         A
   I'm as naked as a winter tree

G5          G/F#     Em   D/A
  With promises remote

C            Cm   G5    G/F#      Em     D/A
 Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade

   C              Cm      G
Observe the world below

G       C   F C  x 2

Verse 2 (same as the first)
Once I had a calling
This town praised my hands
Now I'm sculpting apologies
Cause folks they don't understand

CHORUS 2 (same as the first chorus except the last chord does not resolve to a G,
rather it pulls to Em to start the bridge, so the last line should be as follows:)

   C              Cm      Em
Observe the world below

Bridge:
Em  B7

Em               G*(32000x)
I could change myself

A                              C
There's so much else I could do

A                   Cm
Except I always knew

       G5            G/F#
I was deeper than dailyness

       Em              D/A
I was made to be manifest

    C                Cm     Em7     C    >G
The art like an amethyst of truth

Verse 3 (same as 1&2)
I know, it's only too clear
Spiders spin their webs year after year
I never had that kind of resolve
To know my fear, to face it at all

CHORUS 3
Em*     Em/D#      G6         A
   I'm as naked as a winter tree

G5          G/F#     Em   D/A
  With promises remote

C            Cm   G5    G/F#      Em     D/A
 Wish I could fly away above the ashen shade

   C              Cm      Em*   Em/D#  G6  A
Observe the world below         yeah   yeah

   C              Cm      G
Observe the world below
