Ron Sexsmith - Thumbelina Farewell Chords

[Intro]
| E      | Am6    | E      | Am6    |
 
 
[Verse 1]
E         Am6   E   Am6
 Farewell Thumbelina
E               Am6     E   Am6
 Your dream has come at last
E               Am6  E     Am6
 It was all you ever wanted
E                   Am6   E   Am6
 Now it's all you'll ever have
E/G#  Am6        E/G#   Am6
 Many loved your beauty
E/G#  Am6        E/G#   Am6
 Many loved your grace
E/G#         Am6     E/G#             Am6
 I loved you for the courage that you showed
E/G#     Am6    E/G#
 In that lonely place
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A                     B
 And the longing that was yours to bare
    A             B   B7
You bore it oh so well
 
 
[Chorus]
    E   Am6    E   Am6
Farewell Thumbelina
E      Am6      E   Am6
 Thumbelina farewell
 
 
[Verse 2]
E    Am6        E   Am6
 Farewell Thumbelina
E         Am6    E      Am6
 Standing half undressed
E             Am6            E       Am6
 Beneath that yellow circus spotlight
  E               Am6  E   Am6
Before the hungry audience
E/G#         Am6        E/G#    Am6
 You were surrounded by shadows
     E/G#    Am6         E/G#   Am6
Each one battling for control
E/G#      Am6       E/G#      Am6
 You fed upon their dark promises
E/G#       Am6      E/G#
 They fed upon your soul
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A                        B
 And you loved them like you'd love a lover
         A                                       B   B7
And they loved you like they'd love something to sell
 
 
[Chorus]
    E   Am6    E   Am6
Farewell Thumbelina
E      Am6      E
 Thumbelina farewell
 
 
[Instrumental]
| A      | E      |
| A      | E      |
 
 
[Verse 3]
                     E    Am6
Now the circus is deserted
E      Am6                   E   Am6
 Where once you thrilled the crowd
E                Am6                  E         Am6
 They've packed away the tents, there is no audience
     E          Am6         E   Am6
The spotlight's been turned out
E/G#      Am6            E/G#   Am6
 Now many say you were a hero
     E/G#             Am6       E/G#   Am6
Many say you were the victim of fame
E/G#    Am6                  E/G#          Am6
 Nobody wants to say you were just another one
       E/G#            Am6    E/G#
On the losing end of a losing game
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 3]
A               B
 As for me I'll do my best
   A                 B   B7
To keep your secrets well
 
 
[Chorus]
    E   Am6    E    Am6
Farewell Thumbelina, oh
E      Am6      E   Am6
 Thumbelina farewell
E      Am6      E   Am6
 Thumbelina farewell
E      Am6
 Thumbelina farewell
 
 
[Outro]
