The Jeweler Tab por Pearls Before Swine

A                         C#m7          F#7               Bm
The jeweler has a shop on the corner of the boulevard 
G                Bm                                 F#
In the night, in small spectacles, he polishes old coins 
Em         Am                   
He uses spit and cloth and ashes 
Em                     Am
He makes them shine with ashes 
Em                   Am
He knows the use of ashes 
F#                               G
He worships God with ashes 

2. The coins are often very old by the time they reach the jeweler 
With his hands and ashes he will try the best he can 
He knows that he can only shine them 
Cannot repair the scratches 

F#                                                 D7                                                                              
He knows that even new coins have scars so he just smiles 
G                   C    G          C
He knows the use of ashes (la dada dada da da)
G                   C               G       C       F#          
He worships God with ashes   (la dada dah da dada dah )

(same chords as verse 2)
3. In the darkest of the night both his hands will blister badly 
They will often open painfully and the blood flows from his hands 
He works to take from black coin faces the thumbprints from so many ages    
He wishes he could cure the scars 
When he forgets he sometimes cries 
He knows the use of ashes 
He worships God with ashes 

(repeat 1st chorus)
