[Verse]
Bm A E A
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
Bm G A
Dizzy with eternity.
E A E
Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea
Bm A
Call it home for you and me.
Bm A E A
A peaceful place or so it looks from space
Bm G A
A closer look reveals the human race.
E A E
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face.
Bm A
But afraid, we may our lay home to waste.
[Chorus]
E D A
There's a fear down here we can't forget
E D A
Hasn't got a name just yet
E D A
Always awake, always around
E D A E
Singing ashes,ashes all fall down, ashes,ashes,all fall down
[Verse}
Bm A E A
Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime falls
Bm G A
And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls
E A E
By and by again, the morning sun will rise
Bm A
But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes.
Bm A E A
It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
Bm G A
Staking turf, dividing up meat.
E A E
Nightmare spook, piece of heat,
Bm A
It's you and me, you and me.
[Chorus]
E D A
Click, flashblade in ghetto night.
E D A
Rudies looking for a fight.
E D A
Rat cat alley roll them bones.
E D A
Need that cash to feed that jones
E D A
And the politicians throwing stones
E D A E
Singing ashes,ashes all fall down, ashes,ashes all fall down
[Bridge]
C#m A E
Commissars and pin-striped bosses roll the dice
Bm G A
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price.
E A E
Money green or proletarian gray,
Bm A
Selling guns instead of food today.
[Chorus]
E D A
So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
E D A
And the politicians throwing stones
E D A E
Singing ashes,ashes all fall down, ashes,ashes,all fall down
[Verse]
Bm A E A
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
Bm G A
If the spirit's sleeping, then the flesh is ink.
Bm A
And history's page, it is thusly carved in stone
Bm A
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own.
[Verse]
Bm A E A
If the game is lost then we're all the same
Bm G A
No one left to place or take the blame.
E A E
We will leave this place an empty stone
Bm A
Or this shinning ball of blue we can call our home
[Chorus]
E D A
So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
E D A
And the politicians are throwing stones
E D A E
Singing ashes,ashes all fall down, ashes,ashes all fall down
[Verse]
E D A
Shipping powders back and forth
E D A
Singing "black goes south while white comes north"
E D A
And the whole world full of petty wars
E D A
Singing "I got mine and you got yours."
E D A
And the current fashions set the pace.
E D A
Lose your step, fall out of grace.
E D A
And the radical he rant and rage,
E D A
Singing "someone got to turn the page"
E D A
And the rich man in his summer home,
E D A
Singing "Just leave well enough alone"
E D A
But his pants are down, his cover's blown
E D A
And the politicians are throwing stones
E D A
So the kids they dance they shake their bones
E D A
Cause its all too clear we're on our own
E D A E
Singing ashes,ashes all fall down, ashes,ashes all fall down
[Outro]
Bm A E A
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
Bm G A
It's dizzying, the possibilities.
E
Ashes, Ashes all fall down.

"Shooting powders..." should be part of the E D A chorus rather than the Bm A E A verse.
