Thea Gilmore The List
_____________ 
Capo 2nd Fret
------------
E-
He was a clubland caller, he was younger than he felt 
A-                              B-
Settled like a moth down in the east-end Neon belt 
E-
Well he used to be a believer, ‘til the city got its grip 
A-                               B-
Now if there’s any holiness left, Well he can’t remember it 
E- 
She was a high-rise butterfly, crashed in ‘92 
A-                                  B-
Into some veiled little suburb that they bulldozed through 
E-
Where the little fat angels guard the harvest like they should 
A-                         B-
Well its downtown now but it used to be the woods 
It used to be the woods 
                    D  E-
And, oh its a lonely little town 
                    D  E-
And oh, its a lonely little tune 
  Dsus6                    B-                        E-
And if my name is on that list I guess I’ll see you soon 
E- 
First he heard her voice and then he saw her face 
A-                                B-
She shone just like a crucifix, an instrument of grace 
E- 
And they got on like children, they got a hotel room 
A-                          B- 
They got a new religion, a needle and a spoon 
E-
And they gave thanks to the heavens, but the devil held their hands 
A-                                      B-
And they walked that great divide between Disciples and partisans 
E-        
And the brown and the Bible, they were never quite enough 
A-                                        B-
But the life that grew inside her well that felt a bit like love 
felt a bit like love 
                        D  E-
And, oh its a lonely little town 
                       D  E-
And oh, its a lonely little tune 
   Dsus6                   B-                        E-
And if my name is on that list I guess I’ll see you soon 
   Dsus6                   B-                        E-
And if my name is on that list I guess I’ll see you soon 
E-
The seasons are a metronome, the rhythm and the wild 
A-                                  B-
The winter took his heart away, the spring it took her child 
E-
And the honeyed breath of summer is sweet and overgrown 
A-                                         B-
But its always autumn sings “its not too late To find your way back home” 
To find your way back home” 
E-
And a bell sometimes reminds them, or the singing in the wind 
A-                           B-
The striking of a match, the smell of Paraffin 
E-
And some folks are drawn to the flames, and some just want to hide 
A-                                            B-
But the lonely are the prettiest of all, they burn from the inside 
They burn from the inside 
A-                                             B-
Yeah, the lonely are the prettiest of all, they burn from the inside
