Intro: Am  C  Am  D  Am 
  
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
