Biography:
Thea Eve Gilmore (born 25 November 1979, Oxford, England, to Irish parents) is a British female singer-songwriter. She began her career working in a recording studio, where she was discovered by her now long-time collaborator, producer and sometime co-songwriter Nigel Stonier. Gilmore released her first album, Burning Dorothy, as a teenager in 1998 and over the course of the next four years, released increasingly well-received albums that earned her a reputation in the UK music press but no chart success.

[Chorus]
A D A
Oh, those hills were tall and winding
C#m D
And the roads they did divide
D E D
When we reached the top, we stopped
G D E
To see over the side
A D A
Oh, the fickle sea I've always loved
C#m D
Unto this very day
D E F#m E
I do recall that city far below
G D A
Just like a glistening bay
[Verse 1]
A Am7/E
And from the bay, they grew the sky
D2/A D/A
And every universe was there
A G D E
Reflecting all the surface of the earth
A Am7/E
Upon the road, between my toes
D2/A D/A
I felt blue grassy threads
C Em
And a chill wind caught my heart
G D A
And raised the hair upon my head
[Verse 2]
A Am7/E
I thought of home the whole night long
D2/A D/A
And where the time had gone
A G
I sat there on a high cliff top
D E
Upon the warming land
A Am7/E
The perfumed cedars caught the wind
D2/A D/A
Blown in from open sea
C Em
I hid a precious stone I held
G D A
Inside a weathered tree
[Chorus]
A D A
Oh, those hills were tall and winding
C#m D
And the roads they did divide
D E D
When we reached the top, we stopped
G D E
To see over the side
A D A
Oh, the fickle sea I've always loved
C#m D
Unto this very day
D E F#m E
I do recall that city far below
G D A
Just like a glistening bay
[Instrumental]
A G D
[Verse 3]
A Am7/E
A handful of small flowers
D2/A D/A
Which were nestling in the grass
A G
I tossed them to the sky
D E
And watched them as they danced
A Am7/E
Oh, the fickle see I've always loved
D2/A D/A
Unto this very day
C Em
I see those flowers go floating down
G D A
Towards the glistening bay
[Chorus]
A D A
Oh, those hills were tall and winding
C#m D
And the roads they did divide
D E D
When we reached the top, we stopped
G D E
To see over the side
A D A
Oh, the fickle sea I've always loved
C#m D
Unto this very day
D E F#m
I do recall that city
D E F#m E
I do recall that city far below
G D A
Just like a glistening bay
G D A
Just like a glistening bay
