Thorns


Attention guitar players:
Tune your low  E string to D for 
this song. The chords for the verses
apply only to the piano player. You 
would just play a rhythm in Dm.


                       Piano intro:
The second D in this scale is an 
ocative higher than the first D.


  D  (D)  D  A  D  G  D  F  D

  E  D  F  D  F  E  C  D


       The band kicks in once and 
awhile with a Dm




 Dm                   Am/Dm       
      An offering of reasons.     
Dm                             
     We  put  them  all   in    
Am/Dm
play.



 Dm                  Am/Dm        
      A covering of treasons.     
         Dm                    
    That one by one we let slip 
Am/Dm
away.



Continues after the ad
 (Bridge)


    Gm               Dm           
        A solitary dancer.        
   Gm                    Dm
       So lost upon her stage.


 (Chorus)


    Bb         C                  
    I  have   seen  you  on  the  
     Dm     C    Bb
     Edge   of   Dawn

              C                    
    Felt you here before           
    Dm   C      Bb
    you  were   born

                    C              
    Balanced your dreams upon the  
     Dm     C    Bb
     Edge   of   Thorns

            But I don't think about 
         Dm
you any-more.




                   (Verse 2)

A study made from winter. Of summers
 long ago.
And dreams that use to glitter 
safely now hidden under snow.

                    (Bridge 2)
And so we end the chapter. And let 
the stage lights fade.


                        (Repeat 
chorus)


 Guitar riff:   D  A  G  F  E  E  F 
 E D  (8x)


 This is the pattern behind the 
first solo:   C   Am  C  Dm   (4x)

 Then it goes back to Dm for the 
bass riff. When the drums kick in 
the notes
 notes are:

  D   E   F   E   (if you want to 
play chords instead use  Dm  Em  F  
Em )


             Coming out of the solo 
the guitar and bass play:


  A  G  F  E  (3x)   The fourth pattern is:    A  G  F  E  A   (Then Dm)
----------------------------------

-|----------------------------------

-|------------ 

  Repeat the chorus and then go back
 into the  Dm   Am/Dm   pattern  
used
  for the verses. Zach sings over 
this pattern:

        "I don't think about you...I
 don't think about you" etc...

                             
Anymore!


         Repeat piano intro and end 
the song in Dm
