Biography:
Turin Brakes are a modern folk pop duo comprising two friends Olly Knights and Gale Paridjanian, hailing from Balham, London, signed to Cooking Vinyl.
Turin Brakes have often been compared to many of the New Acoustic Movement's bands spawned in the late 90's such as Elbow, Starsailor, I Am Kloot (who were a support band for Turin Brakes on their Ether Song tour) and the Norwegian band the Kings of Convenience.
Their debut album "The Optimist LP" (2001) was nominated for the Mercury Prize that same year.

TURIN BREAKS
The Optimist
Slow strumming the whole way through...really easy to play!!
Verse 1:
D
Wine bottle why are you weary?
E D
And why are my eyes so grey?
D
Semi-circle people are pointing
E D
And staring up to the sky
Chorus:
G
And the dogs are all gone
D
And my muesli is mouldy
G D
And the saints they are sinners in their songs
G D
And the crickets they call to their rusted rainbow
E D
I swear if you listen you might just hear our song
Verse 2:
D
TV light flickers so fiercely
E D
Bridging the gap between my eyes
D
Outside the rain is tapping my window
E D
A jet trail left hanging in the sky
Chorus:
G D
And the puddles reflect the sky in the morning
G D
Then the pavements lead to another place
G
With one ear to the west
D
And then ocean beside me
E D
I swear if you listen you could just hear our song
E D
Electric sensations will not stay with us for long
Solo:

E D
Eclectic sensations will not be with us for long
Beautiful song, hope you enjoy!!
