Biography:
Holly Throsby is a singer-songwriter originally from Sydney, Australia but currently based in London. Holly's songs are mostly set at night, and are built around finger-picked guitar and her distinctive, fragile voice.
The arrangements, which incorporate double bass, piano accordion, melodian, clarinet and the barest of vocal recordings, are both delicate and painterly.
She has released five full length albums- On Night in 2004, Under The Town in 2006, A Loud Call in 2008, a children's album, See! and Team both in 2011.

Standard tuning, and played with a capo on the 3rd fret (I'm sure that's how she plays
live...) Chords are relative to the capo...
1st Verse
Am
Look for a sign in the window
G
An ad in the paper, a job waiting tables
Am
Tie on an apron for change in my pocket
G
To spend at the shops and study the docket
Am
I can be honest, I can respond
G
Hold my own and take on what comes
Save it for later, be restrained
Make up my mind, then want to change it
Chorus
F
Nights are long, they creep up upon us
Em
Like a storm, when nothing's in order
F
And these little thoughts, they buzz like a train
Em
Find my page and turn them again and again
2nd Verse
Am
Oh, I guess I got lost
G
I must have forgotten, it's just been so hot
Am
I make all my choices on coins I can toss
G
Coins for the washing, to slide in the slots
Am
And I can be honest, I can be strong
G
Wait for all those letters to come
Am
Peel off the labels, check the dates
G
Order my days and then re-arrange them
Chorus
F
Nights are long, they creep up upon us
Em
Like a storm, when nothing's in order
F
And these little thoughts they buzz like a train
Em
Lock the doors and wait for the sun to come up again...
