Song: The Ostracism of Vinny Lalor Artist: Darren Hanlon Album: Fingertips and Mountaintops (2006)
Capo 4th fret
Intro: GDCGEmEmG (work out the strum pattern)
GDCG All around the room in a whirl EmG You saw dancers catch fire when you were still a girl GDCG In a town that's built on the whispers of tattlers EmG But yet to inspire a single dot in the Commonwealth atlas
CC
GDCG God only knows how these things ever start EmG An empty plate in the place of a heart GDCG That finds it's way on a trail of crumbs EmG And stains windowpanes on the prints of thumbs
GD So go take rest CG Pull the blankets up tightly with your knees to your chest EmD A far off sound CG But to such delicate ears it must seem like there's a zoo burning down
GDCGEmEmG (over trumpet) x2
A nagging ache there must be some place better Searched through every library book down to the last letter Even Thornfield Manor sounds enticing With echoes down the hall and on the walls the heads of bison
(This sounds cool with the glockenspiel but im not sure its %100 correct)
So go take rest Pull the blankets up tightly with your knees to your chest A schoolyard song And no one can blame you for getting it so horribly wrong
The old saddlers breath that always smells of leather The cafe sign letters been faded forever Irrelevant facts from the history tester Snowed under the chalk dust of last semester
Can't you see What it's done to your mother, what it's done to me? All their words Will shatter into pieces when I lock you in my arms again
(another trumpet solo then riff until end)
