Lankum - Cold Old Fire  [Live at The Parlour] chords
Start Jamming...
[Bm] It's good to be back again.
We always sing,
[A] even when [E] we're losing.
[G] Cause Dublin's drawn us hard enough, especially when you're [Em] down and [E] you're losing.
[Em] We sing the old triangle, then the Tommy Ryan.
[G] Cause all the world's a jail [A] and we can't remember why.
[Em] Why we agreed to live and lie in [Bm] embers of a cold old fire.
Nobody [G] [D] remembers, they hand the ashes back to me.
Down the Bolton factory [A] where cattle at the stall.
We look [Bm] for signs that [D] Dublin's [E] had their beating.
[G] The handwritten grass and pillars and masts, they haven't stopped the [D] people [E] from screaming.
[Em] The trap by all the cameras, you're inclined to stay at home and [G] forget.
Some songs were written [A] to remind you you weren't born.
[Em] Born to live and lie in embers [Bm] of a cold old fire.
Nobody [D] remembers, they hand the ashes back to me.
Down the Bolton factory [A] where cattle at the stall.
[Em]
[A] We [D] see [Bm] the crowds [E] under a foundation.
[Em] [G] Smoldering on the faces of the people on the drip of [E] isolation.
[Em] We hear the sounds come streaming across the crackling air.
[G] The broken words of swine [A] who would tell us that we were.
Born to live and lie in [Bm] embers of a cold old [Em] fire.
Nobody [D] remembers, they hand the ashes back to me.
Down the Bolton [A] factory where cattle at the stall.
How and did we agree to live and lie in embers of a [Bm] cold old fire?
[Em] Nobody [D] remembers, they hand the ashes back to me.
Down the Bolton factory [A] where cattle at the stall.
