Song: The Ostracism of Vinny Lalor Artist: Darren Hanlon Album: Fingertips and Mountaintops (2006) Capo 4th fret Intro: G D C G Em Em G (work out the strum pattern) G D C G All around the room in a whirl Em G You saw dancers catch fire when you were still a girl G D C G In a town that's built on the whispers of tattlers Em G But yet to inspire a single dot in the Commonwealth atlas C C G D C G God only knows how these things ever start Em G An empty plate in the place of a heart G D C G That finds it's way on a trail of crumbs Em G And stains windowpanes on the prints of thumbs G D So go take rest C G Pull the blankets up tightly with your knees to your chest Em D A far off sound C G But to such delicate ears it must seem like there's a zoo burning down G D C G Em Em G (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 e-|-3-------2-------0------3-----3-----0-------0-------3-----3--| B-|---3---3---3---3----1-----3------3----0---0---0---0---3------| G-|-----0-------2--------0-----0-----------0-------0-------0----| (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) corrections? elaborations? e-mail me at stuff.stuff26@gmail.com lyrics from http://homes.jcu.edu.au/~ccscb/darrenhanlonlyrics/lyrics/ostracism-of-vinny-lalor.html
