Am              C
I'm The King of Ashes
G                Am
Nothing from the flame survives
C           G
Hands can't turn the tides
               D
I have been consumed
 
 
        Am                      C       G
And the road runs straight from Tarsus
         Am
But I am mystified
C                G
I would you were by my side
          D
These are mortal wounds
                 Am      C
These are mortal wounds
     G         Am   C  G    D  Am
Yeah heh, yeah heh
 
 
                C             G
And they cannot hear my plea
              Am
They will not play my tunes
C           G
Melodies in rented rooms
                 D     Am
Price for seeing true
 
 
                  C        G
But I can't court fashion
          Am        C
Let me be who I am
         G
Far from savage lands
            D
I will be renewed 
       G    Am    G     Am  C  G  D  Am
I will be renew___ed, yeah
 
 
            C      G
The King of Ashes
          Am         C
Whoever's by my side
           G
Across the great divide
    C     G         D    Am
And Mary, I'll love you
 
 
            C
The King of Ashes
G               Am        C
Hm, my heart is open wide
              G
I pray you're satisfied
         C        G     D
And it's all that I can do
                    Am  C        G          Am
It's all that I can do__oo, yeah heh, yeah, yeah
