Ashes To Ashes

• F

Basically the rhythm guitar for this song is played in a power chord fashion. 
 I will not transcribe it like that because the organ plays regular chord 
shapes.  Just like father like son, I have a bit of the problem understanding 
what Dylan is saying but I will try my best: 


Intro:  F    Em    Am  (4x) 

             F                     Em                Am 
Well you can walk like a stranger, head back in your hair 
         F                    Em    Am 
Bringing gifts, while you act so sincere 

F    Em    Am        F    Em    Am 

         F            Em          Am 
Bringing gifts, oh boy, he~s five years 
           F         Em        Am 
A game for rocks and traini...ing wheels 

F    Em    Am        F    Em    Am 
Am 

               C      G        F   G        Em 
Well I don~t remember you from any of those books 
         C          G        F          G         Em   E 
Ashes to ashes, and six feet under face down in a box 
F                Em                    Am 
Where~d you ever learn to treat me like that 

F    Em    Am        F    Em    Am 

          F               Em                 Am 
You don~t see that, baby ahh..., that famous stuff 
             F             Em                 Am 
You know the Harvard folds law, that penniless rough 

F    Em    Am        F    Em    Am 

     F                Em                 Am 
Your bad luck follows you like a heart attack 
           F                Em        Am 
Twist your fingers, soon as break your back 

F    Em    Am        F    Em    Am 
Am 

               C      G        F   G        Em 
Well I don~t remember you from any of those books 
         C          G        F          G         Em   E 
Ashes to ashes, and six feet under face down in a box 
F                Em                    Am 
Where~d you ever learn to treat me like that 

F    Em    Am 

     F                            Em                     Am 
It~s coming from another withered mother who~s just like yours 
             F                 Em       Am 
Bringing you aches and all those mental sores 
F                      Em                Am 
Take a little half, so need some for yourself 
        F                          Em               Am 
Like an itty in the gritty, they always seem by themselves 
         F                 Em       Am 
Well you must be, had-to-be, one of these 
              F           Em    Am 
Honey, on the shed on the open tree 
F                 Em               Am 
Didn~t I meet you once in a liquor store 
                  F              Em    Am 
I think I saw you hanging by the stage door 
            F               Em         Am 
Handing out programs to the family theater 
            F           Em             Am 
Deprive the row, so you don~t miss her or treat her 

Am    Am    Am    Am 

You take it 
Am 
Why take it? 
G 
Fast and ever 
       F        Em      Dm 
If you gave yourself a chance... 

     C         G      F        G            Em 
Well I don~t remember you from any of those books 
                   C    G      F         G         Em   E 
Ashes to, ashes and six feet under faced down in a box 
F                Em                    Am 
Where~d you ever learn to treat me like that? 


F    Em    Am...
