C G C
I found a picture of you in black and white
F C G
Looking like Bob Dylan's disciple
C G C
The only thing left is a spark in your eye
F G C
In the ashes of rock and roll
C G C
You used to shine like the 4th of July
F C G
Looking like a midnight revival
C G C
To see you now is to watch a man die
F G C
In the ashes of rock and roll
Chorus:
Am F Am
You shining like fool's gold
F
Shining like fool's gold
C G C
You're out digging for what's left of our souls
F G C
In the ashes of rock and roll
C G C
I remember when your love was full force
F C G
You held her hand like it was a bible
C
And just like last night
G C
I found out about your divorce
F G C
In the ashes of rock and roll
C G C
You used to run like a river in a flood
F C G
Out chopping down on your idols
C G C
Now there's a cynic, dripping in your blood
F G C
In the ashes of rock and roll
Chorus:
Am F Am
You shining like fool's gold
F
Shining like fool's gold
C G C
You're out digging for what's left of our souls
F G C
In the ashes of rock and roll
Am F C G Am
I watched them come and go
F C G Am
I watched them taking their toll
F C G Am
Maybe rock n' roll never dies
F Am
But it sure gets old
F
Yeah it sure gets old
C G C
You swore to me that we'd always be close
F C G C
Singing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah
G C
Now you casting lots for my old man's clothes
F G C
In the ashes of rock and roll
Am F Am
/You shining like fool's gold
F
Shining like fool's gold
C G C
You're out digging for what's left of our souls
F G C
In the ashes of rock and roll/
