Ashes Tab

by Kt Tunstall


I love this song; it's a great example of artistic cussing. I play a ukulele so I'm not 
familiar with guitar tabs. Here are the chords and some notes for picking.

I am a pain in your ass
                                    
And I'm wondering how long it's gonna last
                    
Be my mirror, be my friend,
        
Be the workhouse of the energy
   
I twist your arm to spin


REFRAIN:
                        
Everyday, like a power station
                       
You know it isn't good
                              
I know you're burning too much wood
              
Oh, and you burn out
              
The twisted irony is
                        
Your ashes come home to me
             
(Come home to me) <-- lyrics second time only
                   
Come home to me

             
So we take a walk
              
To make some sense
                                  
And I'm wondering if you fancy my advance
       
I have pushed you
        
Way too far
            
And you say Fuck you little princess
         
Who the hell do you think you are?


REPEAT REFRAIN

   
                                  
Yeah well your ashes come home to me
             
Come home to me
             
Come home to me
                                                          
You know well the circus gonna have you on a fucking mantelpiece
          
The mantelpiece
                    
The mantelpiece

ENDING: (with picking)
