Throwing Stones Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]
[Am]
Picture [G]a bright blue ball just

[Verse 1]
[D]spinning,
spin[G]ning [Am]free
Dizzy [F]with [G]eternity
[D]Paint it with a skin of sky,
brush [G]in some clouds [D]and sea
Call it [Am]home for you and me
[G]A p[Am]eaceful place[G],
or so it looks [D]from space
[G]A c[Am]loser look reveal[F]s the human race[G]
[D]Full of hope, full of grace,
is the [G]hu man [D]face
But [Am]afraid we may lay our
home to [G]waste

[Verse 2]
There's a [D]fear down here
we can't for[G]get[D][C][G]
[D]Hasn't got a name just [G]yet[D][C][G]
Always [D]awake, always [G]around[D][C]
[G]Singing [D]ashes, ashes, [G]all fall down
[D]Ashes, [G]ashes, all fall down

[Verse 3]
[Am]Now watch as t[G]he ball revolves
and the night-[D]time falls
fall[G]s
[Am]And again the hunt begin[F]s and
[G]again the blood wind [D]calls
[Dm]By and by, a[D]gain,
the [G]morning sun will [D]rise
But the [Am]darkness never goes
from some men's [G]eyes
[Am](Well I know)
It strolls the side[G]walk and it
roll[D]s the streets[G]
[Am]Staking [F]turf, dividing up [G]meat
[Dm]Nightmare spoo[D]k, piece[G] of heat
[D]It's you and me, you[Am] and[G] me

[Verse 4]
[D]Click flash blade in ghetto
[G]night[D][C][G]
[D]Rudy's looking [G]for [D]a fight[C][G]
[D]Rat cat alley, [G]roll them [D]bones[C][G]
[D]Need that cash to feed that [G]Jones
And the [D]politicians throwing stone[C]s
Singing [D]ashes, ashes, [G]all fall down
Ashes, [D]ashes, all [G]fall down

[Verse 5]
[Bm]Commissars and[G]
pinstripe bosses [D]roll the dice
[C]Anyway[D] they fall,
guess [G]who gets to [D]pay [C]the price?
[D]Money gre[G]en, or proletarian gra[D]y
Selling [C]guns instead of food [G]today
So the [D]kids they dance
and shake [G]their bones
And the politi[D]cians [G]throwing stones
Singing [D]ashes, ashes, all [G]fall down
Ashes, [D]ashes, [G]all fall down

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][D]
[G][Am][F][G][D][Dm]
[G][D][Am][G]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Heartless powers try t[G]o tell
us what [D]to think[G]
[Am]If the spirit's sleeping[F]
then the flesh [G]is ink[D]
History's page will [G]be neatly
carved [D]in stone
The [Am]fu ture's here,
we are [G]it, we are on our own
On our own, on our [F]own, [G]we are on our own

[Interlude 2]
[G][C][G]
[D][G][C][G]
[D][G][C][G][D]
[G][C]
[G][D][G][C][G]
[C][G][C][D][G][C][G]
[C][G][D][G][Am][G]
[D][G][C][G][Am][G]
[D][G][C][G]

[Verse 7]
[Bm]If the game is l[G]ost, then we're all [D]the same
[C]No one left to [G]place or take the[D] bla[C]me
[D]We will leave this pla[G]ce an empty stone
[D]Or that shining[C] ball
of blue we [G]call our home

[Verse 8]
So the [D]kids, they dance,
they shake [G]their bones
And the [D]politicians throwing stone[G]s
Singing [D]ashes, ashes, [G]all fall down
Ashes, [D]ashes, [G]all fall [D]down
[C][D]

[Verse 9]
Shipping powders back and forth
Singing black goes south
and white comes north
And the whole world full
of [G]petty [D]wars
Singing I got mine and you got yours
While the current fashions
set [G]the pace[D][C][G]
[D]Lose your step, fall out [G]of grace[D][C]
[G]The rad[D]ical, he rant and[G] rage[D][C]
[G]Singing [D]someone got to turn [G]the page[D][C]
[G]And the ric[D]h man in his
summer [G]home[D][C]
[G]Singing [D]just leave well [G]enough [D]alone[C]
[G]But his pan[D]ts are down,
his cover's [C]blown
[G]And the pol[D]iticians thr[G]owing stones
So the [D]kids, they dance,
they shake their bones
[G]'Cause it's all[D] too clear
we're on [G]our own
Singing [D]ashes, ashes, all fall [G]down
[D]Ashes, ashes, all fall [G]down[Am]
Picture [G]a bright blue ball just spin

[Verse 10]
[D]ning,
spinning [G]free
[Am]It's dizzying, [F]the possibilities
[G]

[Verse 11]
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
Ashes, ashes, all fall down
(Ashes, ashes, all fall down)
