A                             D         F#m

What if all tomorow brings is ashes and glass

A                                 D         F#m

And I can't tell you child, "this too shall pass"

A                                D        F#m

If all the world were windswept, cold and gray

A                              D       F#m

And in the end there's nothing left to say



A                      D         F#m

If all the silicon and best laid plans

A                          D       F#m

Became the master, and the fall of man

A                              D        F#m

If all the earth were baked to hard red clay

A                        D     F#m

Not so far from where we are today



Dsus4



D

Ah well anyway



E                          D

Come on darlin', swing and sway

A                            Asus4

Daddy gonna find us a better way

E                            D

And if that better way don't float

A                             Asus4

Daddy gonna find us a tighter boat



E                              D

And if that tighter boat don't sail

A                                Asus4

Grab a bucket babe, and start to bail

E                           D

And if that bucket spring a leak

A                         Asus4

Little miss, we're up the creek

A                         D      F#m

What if fire came raining on the hills

A                             D        F#m

And mountains made of rusting Coupe De Villes

A                               D       F#m

And all God's children find themselves alone

A                         D        F#m

And all the poets took to throwing stones



Dsus4

Guess we're on our own

D

No way out and no way home



E                          D

Come on baby, it's time to sing

A                               Asus4

Daddy gonna grab that old brass ring

E                                D

And if that old brass ring don't fit

A                        Asus4

Daddy gonna get to fixin it



E                                D

And if that old brass ring stays broke

A                           Asus4

Daddy gonna buy you a billy goat

E                            D

And if that billy goat don't bark

A                                 Asus4

Gonna give that goat the old kick start



E  Esus4  A  Asus4

Jam



A                             D         F#m

What if all that was left was ashes and glass

A                                 D         F#m

And I can't tell you child, "this too shall pass"

A                                   D       F#m

And if those four horsemen can't be turned away

A                      D        F#m

And everyone's too paralyzed to pray



Dsus4



D                     Dsus4

Too paralyzed to pray

D                                   Dsus4

And the jury's out on judgement day

D                                   Dsus4

And there ain't nothing left to say

D

Nothing left to say



E                   D

Come on baby we can fly

A                      Asus4

Daddy's got a stack of alibi's

E                    D

Alibi's shot full of holes

A                             Asus4

Come on child, let's rock and roll



E                            D

And if that roll takes us to France

A                          Asus4

Teach them Froggies how to dance

E                         D

Keep on dancin', sing the tune

A                               Asus4

We'll be dancin' all around the moon



E                           D

And if that big old moon go bust

A                                  Asus4

Well ashes to ashes, baby, dust to dust

E                           D

Baby it's time for one last rave

A                          Asus4

Keep on dancin' on our own graves



E  Esus4   A     Asus4
