Biography:
“There's a song in there somewhere," sings Dave Gunning optimistically on his seventh album We're All Leaving, but the Pictou County, Nova Scotia performer is being far too modest.
Scoring three 2010 East Coast Music Award Nominations for Songwriter, Male Solo Recording and FACTOR Recording of the Year, and recently named as a Finalist in the Great American Song Contest and International Songwriting Competition for his song, Before The Morning Sun (co-written by James Keelaghan), Gunning is on the move.

Dave Gunning - Ashen Town
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: Am G7 C F G C
N.C. Am G7 C
Here lies the village church
Am G7 C
No cross no hymn no verse
Am G7 C
All the colours congregate in shades of grey
G7 C
And the choir no longer sings
Am C G7
And the bell no longer rings
Am G C
Here lies the village church
N.C. Am G7 C
Here stands the general store
Am G7 C
Dust beams point to the floor
Am G7 C
And nails in rusty cans that never sold
G7 C
There's a faded 'Sorry Closed'
Am C G7
On a peeling painted door
Am G C
Here stands the general store
CHORUS:
F
And I just walk around
C
Through this ashen town
F
Leaving not a trace
G7 C
Of the last ghost in this place
N.C. Am G7 C
Here waits the family home
Am G7 C
Forsaken and alone
Am G7 C
On the walls that kept them all so safe and warm
G7 C
Peeling paper water stained
Am C G7
'God's Blessing' in it's frame
Am G C
Here waits the family home
CHORUS:
F
And I just walk around
C
Through this ashen town
F
Leaving not a trace
G7 C
Of the last ghost in this place
CHORUS:
F
And I just walk around
C
Through this ashen town
F
Leaving not a trace
G7 C
Of the last ghost in this place
N.C. Am G7 C
Here rests my father's bones
Am G7 C
With cracked and fallen stones
Am G7 C
Marked by weathered cross and worn words
G7 C
No flowers left behind
Am G7
To mark the passing time
Am G C
Here rests my father's bones
CHORUS:
F
And I just walk around
C
Through this ashen town
F
Leaving not a trace
G7 C
Of the last ghost in this place
CHORUS:
F
And I just walk around
C
Through this ashen town
F
Leaving not a trace
