                              Avalanche - Thea Gilmore

Notes: Words in brackets are what I hear her actually singing as opposed to
       how she's presented the written lyrics.

       Here are the box annoted chords in the first position.

                             (barred)
                          I                            
           E O---+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  O---+---+---+  +---+---+-X-+
           B +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  O---+---+---+
           G +---+-X-+---+  +-X-+-X-+---+  O---+---+---+  O---+---+---+
           D +---+-X-+---+  +-X-+---+-X-+  +---+-X-+---+  O---+---+---+
           A O---+---+---+  +-X-+---+-X-+  +---+---+-X-+  +---+-X-+---+
           E O---+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  O---+---+---+  +---+---+-X-+

       Here are the exact same chords but played closer to how I
       think Thea's playing them, barred at the I'st, III'rd, and
       V'th positions.

                                                      
             V              I              III            III
           E +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  X---+---+---+  X---+---+---+
           B +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  X---+---+-X-+  X---+---+---+
           G +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+-X-+---+  X---+---+-X-+  X---+-X-+---+
           D +-X-+---+-X-+  +-X-+---+-X-+  X---+---+-X-+  X---+---+-X-+
           A +-X-+---+-X-+  +-X-+---+-X-+  X---+---+---+  X---+---+-X-+
           E +-X-+---+---+  +-X-+---+---+  X---+---+---+  X---+---+---+

    Three PM
              
    Blue as a roadsign
                        
    With a bag and some cheap wine
        
    The suns in my eyes
      
    Between
                        
    The smoke trails of aircraft
                   
    The kite tails and light shafts
              
    There's a language in the sky
              
    There are bones
                              
    Living [Hiding] under the viaduct
                                    
    Sleeping [Sweeping] down by the railway line
           
    Making wagers with the day
              
    There's a rumour
               
    Dirty as a chimney stack
             
    Quiet as roadkill
           
    On the northbound carriageway
        
    And who's gonna raise a hand
                                      
    When all we were taught to do was dance
    
    Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche

    Well they sold you
              
    Back your outrage
                     
    In a neat little shrink-wrap
          
    And a beautiful face
            
    And you think
                           
    That you've found your purpose
                                    
    While they've been trailing the breadcrumbs
         
    Of a watertight case
              
    So you're shouting
                        
    But you're shouting softly
                  
    So no-one can hear you
                
    And get the wrong idea
          
    But behind
                           
    The closing eye of the tabloids
               
    We will be waiting
        
    And we'll say it clear
        
    Cos who's gonna raise a hand
                                      
    When all we were taught to do was dance
    
    Who'll be able to stand after this avalanche

    There's a language in the sky

        
              
    There's a language in the sky
        
              
    There's a language in the sky
