Angels of Ashes Lyrics
by Scott Walker
irst Verse
Second Verse
Same as above except for the third bar and the last bar.
From this point on the guitar is a lot harder to hear and the playing is somewhat more complex. The chord
structure is the same though so if you just follow that and add your own embellishments, it should shound
right.
Third Verse
Chords are placed loosely in relation to the lyrics because the timing of Walker's singing is strange.
Changes happen at the beginning of each bar though, as they do above, so if you just keep that in mind then
it's easy.
In the unbroken darkness where emptiness empties alone
There's no starting or stopping where there is no right or no wrong
ourth Verse
Well that's all right for some who can hang the absurd on their wall
If your blind hands can't grope through these measureless waters you'll fall
ifth Verse
You've been following patterns and fleeting sensations too long
And the fullness that fills up the pulse of durations is gone
Sixth Verse
Let the great constellation of flickering ashes be heard
Let them burn with a fire all it takes to confess is a word, just a word
Seventh Verse
I can recommend angels I've watched as they've made a man strong oh so strong
If your humbleness shows then I'm sure that they'll take you along
ithgh Verse
You can tell them who sent you it might help to get you above
You can say that he laughed and he walked like St. Francis with love
