[Bb] Welcome to [N] Flashback Favorites.
I'm Music Mike.
Thanks for joining me again.
Summer rain, poor side of town, secret agent man.
Just a few of the big smash hits by Johnny Rivers.
In 1977, Johnny released an album called Outside Help.
And from that, another big smash hit called Swayin' to the Music.
From that same LP is the single that we're featuring today.
This was actually released just before the album came out on Johnny's own record label called Soul City.
Outside Help came out on the Big Tree record label.
It's a great song that I think is one of Johnny's best and written by him too.
_ From 1977, a tune that only made it to number 96, here is _ Ashes and Sand.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
These feelings have been building [Gm] up around us for a long time.
[Abm] _ _ [Am] _ _
I remember days when your [Bb] true loving ways [Dm] flowed through my life just like sweet wine.
_ [Gm] _
Maybe you've been acting strange, [Am] you feel you need a change, and [Bb] there's nothing I can do to make you [F] stay. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] So if you must say goodbye, girl, [Bb] _ this is as good a time as any for [F] me to cry.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ How can they say somehow [Gm] it all works out for the good?
_ _ [Am] _ _
Life can be so cruel, [Bb] you feel _ just like a fool and you [Dm] know you should.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ What happened to our dreams, [Am] all of our late schemes, _ [Bb] we just let them slip right on through [F] our hands.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
And all that's left when the fire's gone [Bb] is just some ashes _ _ and a little [F] bit of sand.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ So naive to think [G] it could be sunshine on the way, look out [Bb] here comes a rainy day.
_ You know [F] I'll always love you deep down inside, [Eb] and girl I know you never _ lied [Dm] to me.
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
Oh there was a time [Gb] we could fly so high, _ _ [E] they couldn't catch us if they tried.
_ _ [Ebm] They couldn't catch [Ab] us if they tried. _ _
[D] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ There'll never be [Gm] another baby, _ [Am] _
baby, _ [Bb] _ baby.
_ [C] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ There'll never be [Dm] another baby. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ There'll [Am] never be another [Bb] baby.
_ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ What happened to our dreams, [Am] all of our late schemes, we [Bb] just let them slip right on through [F] our hands. _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ And all that's left when the fire's gone is just some ashes _ [C] _
and a little [F] bit of sand. _ _
Ooh, [Gm] baby.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ There'll never be another [Dm] baby.
_ Ooh, baby.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ [Am] There'll never be another [Bb] baby.
