Thornblaze! Text & Music: Sibylle Machat, 2001/02 Notes: Capo up to third fret - try to 'blend' it when playing - as if its a question-answer thing, or an inner dialogue. Slow down and pause at the end of each verse. Pause after each chorus. Sibylle says: Thornblaze was the site of a really big earthquake, which levelled all the buildings etc ... my harper got trapped in the ruins. The chorus existed before the story, actually, but since it fit in well and I didn't know where else to put it ... though it is what life is all about, really, isn't it? Getting through the day... . ____ ____ ___ ___ __ __ __ _ _ _ __ __ __ ___ ___ ____ ____ Chorus: (C) Hope is not a (G) shining jewel (A7) far a(D7)way (C) hope is just what (G) gets you through (D) the day. Verse: (em) Stone above, and (am) stone beneath a (G) darkness that seems (C) never-ending (em) no light, no air, no (am) anything (G) so much broken (D7) beyond mending. Hope is not a shining jewel far away hope is just what gets you through the day. Darkness, darkness, everywhere utter silence, not a sound stifled breath, choking silence darkness, silence, all around Hope is not a shining jewel far away hope is just what gets you through the day. Waiting, hoping, one more breath drawn against the pain and fear courage a shield against the fright - someone, someone - find me here! Courage is not an elusive gem out of grasp (C) courage is to be(G)lieve (D7) that some (D) things will (G) last. (D7) some (D) things will (G) last (D) things will (G) last
