Jethro Tull: "Song 2", 5:30 - 10:25 (after The Hare story)
Album: A Passion Play
Chords: Håkan Mattsson

The only thing I'm not sure of is the C chord at
"...eat in the corner...", but it sounds rather OK.

Capo on 3:rd fret.

(lift 3) means "lift the finger on string 3".
I put in some chord definitions below, probably well-known
by most people, but anyway.

   We-ell, I'll go to the foot of our sta-irs.
 

Old gentlemen talk of when they were young
of ladies lost, of erring sons.
Lace-covered dandies revel (with friends)
pure as the truth tied at both ends.
Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs.
 

Scented cathedral, spire pointed down.
We pray for souls in Kentish Town.
A delicate hush, the gods floating by
wishing us well, pie in the sky.
God of ages, Lord of Time
mine is the right to be wrong.
Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs.
 

 Em          D sus2
Jack rabbit mister

    A sus2      Bm
of love-hungry pilgrims
     A sus2    Bm sus2

  F(lift3) Em (lift4)
Show me a good man, and
       F (lift3)   Bm sus2
I'll show you the door.
     A sus2       Bm
The last hymn is sung
         A      D      Em
and the devil cries "More".
 

Instrumental around Em, A and Bm

to take up my turn
         F(lift3) Em (lift4)
