Jethro Tull is progressive rock band which formed in Blackpool, Lancashire, England in 1967. Their music is marked by the initially soulful and bluesy, and later expressively idiosyncratic, vocal style and unique lead flute work of frontman Ian Anderson; and by unusual and often complex song construction. Their music, though starting with blues rock with an experimental flavour, has incorporated elements of classical and celtic folk music, as well as art rock and alternative rock.

Jethro Tull est un groupe de rock britannique progressif formé dans la seconde partie des années '60. Leur musique est marquée par un style vocal très particulier ( une voix nasillarde mais remarquablement juste ) et le travail unique de flûtiste du leader Ian Anderson, et par des constructions de chansons inhabituelles et souvent complexes (pour du rock). Leur musique incorpore des éléments de musique classique et celtique, ainsi que des phases art rock alternatif du rock.

Jethro Tull (kurz: Tull) ist eine Rockband aus dem Vereinigten Königreich. Ständiges Mitglied und Bandleader ist der Komponist, Multi-Instrumentalist und Sänger Ian Anderson (Gesang, Querflöte, Saxophon, Tin Whistle, Mundharmonika, akustische Gitarre, Mandoline und andere).  Jethro Tull ist die einzige international erfolgreiche Rockband, in deren Musik die Querflöte eine tragende, der E-Gitarre vergleichbare Rolle einnimmt.

Jethro Tull es el nombre de una original banda de rock progresivo escocesa, que comenzó sus andaduras en 1968 y que, desde entonces, ha trabajado de forma ininterrumpida hasta el día de hoy, siendo, tras Rolling Stones (1962) y Le Orme (1966), entre otros, uno de los grupos de rock más antiguos todavía activo.  El nombre de la banda, extraño como suena, tiene un origen no menos particular. Su agente revisó libros de historia y llegó con el nombre de Jethro Tull, un agricultor inglés que había inventado un sistema revolucionario para la siembra.

Wonderful love song in the beautiful mood of the morning after.

G          Em          D       A 
Wond'ring Aloud, how we feel today?

Last night set the sunset, my hand in her hair.

We are our own saviors, as we start, both our hearts, beating life
          A
Into each other

G          Em             D              A
Wond'ring aloud, will the years treat us well?
G                    Em           D           A
As she floats in the kitchen, I'm tasting the smell

Of toast as the butter runs, then she comes, spilling crumbs, on the bed
               A
and I shake my head

         Am       G           D          Bm           A
And it's only the giving that makes you,    what you are.

Hymn 43

&quot;Locomotive Breath&quot; is a song by the English progressive rock band Jethro Tull from their 1971 album, Aqualung. One of the song's highlights is its flute solo by rock flute virtuoso Ian Anderson. The lyrics, although open to interpretation, may be about a train wreck or, alternatively, about a man's life falling apart. The song receives frequent airplay on classic rock radio stations. It was covered by W.A.S.P.

Intro:

In the shuffling madness
Em                  Em  G D Em
of Locomotive Breath
Em                Em  G D B
Runs the all-time loser

Headlong to his death

Oh He feels the pistons scraping
Em                Em  G D 
Steam Breaking on his brow

Old Charlie stole the handle
        B                         B      D       Em
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down

He sees his children jumping off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
Oh he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down

He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh he picks up gideon's Bible
Open at page one
I thank god He stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down...

Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun.

I dont believe they knew I was a schoolboy.

Asus2 G Asus2

And a bearded lady said to me
If you start your raving and your misbehaving you'll be sorry.
Then the chicken-fancier came to play 
With his long red beard (and his sisters weird: She drives a lorry)

Laughed down by the putting green I popped `em in their holes.
Four and twenty labourers were labouring digging up their gold.
I dont believe they knew that I was long john silver.

Saw johnny scarecrow make his rounds
In his jet-black mac (which he wont give back) stole it from a snow man.

The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame
        Em                    G  D     A         G  A     Bm
And the first Moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal came.
      D                           Bm
And a new breeze chattered in its May-bud tenderness
        Em       Em7  A              G         A      Bm
Sending water-lillies sailing as she turned to get undressed.
        D                          Bm
And the long night awakened and we soared on powdered wings
Em                            G    D        A
Circling our tomorrows in the wary month of Spring.
                D             Bm
Chasing shadows slipping in a magic lantern slide
Em               A           G     A     Bm
Creatures of the candle on a night-light-ride.
D                                         Bm
Dipping and weaving - flutter through the golden needle's eye
       Em                                         G      D    A
in our haystack madness.  Butterfly-stroking on a Spring-tide high,
         G      A    Bm
oh, on a Spring-tide high.

Life's too long (as the Lemming said)
       C#m    A#             F#    C#   D#m
as the candle burned and the Moths were wed.
          A           B            E    B     C#m
And we'll all burn together as the wick grows higher

before the candle's dead.

to join in the worship of the light that never dies
     Gm                               A#       F      C
in a moment's reflection of two moths spinning in her eyes.

C       F       C     G             C Bb 
The old Rocker wore his hair too long, 
Am       Dm                    G 
wore his trouser cuffs too tight. 
C       F C     G   C Bb 
Unfashionable to the end --- 
Am        Dm            G 
drank his ale too light. 

G          C         G       D               G  F 
Death's head belt buckle --- yesterday's dreams --- 
Em             Am                D 
the transport caf' prophet of doom. 
G          C         G       D               G  F 
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams  in his 
Em          Am       D 
  post-war-babe gloom. 
 Eb  F   Bb   C F           Bb   F  Eb    A               Dm   
Now he's too old to Rock'n'Roll     but he's too young to die. 
  
 Eb  F   Bb   C F           Bb   F  Eb    Bb                F  
yes he was too old to Rock'n'Roll     but he's too young to die. 

REST THE SAME 

He once owned a Harley Davidson and a Triumph Bonneville. 
Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs 
and prays that he always will. 
But he's the last of the blue blood greaser boys 
all of his mates are doing time: 
married with three kids up by the ring road 
sold their souls straight down the line. 
And some of them own little sports cars 
and meet at the tennis club do's. 
For drinks on a Sunday --- work on Monday. 
They've thrown away their blue suede shoes. 

Now they're too old to Rock'n'Roll and they're too young to die. 

So the old Rocker gets out his bike 
to make a ton before he takes his leave. 
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner 
just like it used to be. 
And as he flies --- tears in his eyes --- 
his wind-whipped words echo the final take 
and he hits the trunk road doing around 120 
with no room left to brake. 

And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he was too young to die. 
No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

    The minstrel in the gallery
        A     Dsus2           A
looked down upon the smiling faces.
   F       C       F        F   o  G
He met the gazes - observed the spaces 
Dsus2                   A
between the old men's cackle.
      
   A        Am      C         Dsus2       
He brewed a song of love and hatred 

G

 G                  Dsus2     A
oblique suggestions and he waited.

F        C         F   G   C
  He polarized the pumpkin eaters  

F        C       F G   C
  static-humming panel-beaters  

F         C          F  G    C
  freshly day-glow'd factory cheaters 

F       C       F  G   C
  (salaried and collar-scrubbing).

A         Am    C       Dsus2
  He titillated men-of-action  

F     C        F     F        G
belly warming, hands still rubbing 

G      Dsus2               A
on the parts they never mention.

A        Am       C        Dsus2       G
  He pacified the nappy-suffering, 

G      Dsus2        Dsus4    A
infant-bleating one-line   jokers - 

F    C   F  G    C
T.V. documentary makers 

F    C      F  G  C
(overfed and undertakers)

A      Am    C             Dsus2
Sunday paper backgammon players

family-scarred and women-haters.

        F          C         F  G       C
Then he called the band down to the the stage

the friends     he'd made.

Minstrel In The Gallery

Intro: A       E

C       G        D            A
Have you seen the Jack-in-the-Green?
 C       G                 A
-With his long tail hanging down.
C         G          D     A
He quietly sits under every tree
C     G                   A
In the folds of his velvet gown.
C        G              D     A
He drinks from the empty acorn cup
C           G              A
The dew that dawn sweetly bestows.
C     G             D        A
And he taps his cane upon the ground-
C         G                        A
Signal the snow drops, it's time to grow.

A      E

C      G         D           A
It's no fun being Jack-in-the-Green:
C          G                  A
No place to dance, no time for song.
C           G              D      A
He wears the colours of the summer soldier;
C          G                     A
Carries the green flag all winter long.


A     E

Bm                      E                        A
Jack, do you ever sleep-does the green still run in your heart?
Bm                            E                      A
or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines, keep us apart?
E             A
Well, I don't think so.
E                         A
I saw some grass growing through the pavement today.



C             G            D     A
The Rowan, the Oak, and the Holly tree
C              G               A
Are the changes left for him to groom.

A      E

C            G                D           A
Each blade of grass whispers, "Jack-in-the-Green."
C               G                          A
"Oh Jack, please help me through my winters night."
C              G                  D     A
And-"We are the berries the on the Holly tree:
C             G                                   A
Oh, the Mistle Thrust is coming, Jack, put out the light."

Tell your mother that you walked all night on velvet green. 

Continue chord progression 

One dusky half-hour's ride up to the north. 
There lies your reputation and all that you're worth. 
Where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream. 
Tell your mother that you walked all night on velvet green. 
And the long grass blows in the evening cool. 
And August's rare delight may be April's fool. 
But think not of that, my love, 
I'm tight against the seam. 
And I'm growing up to meet you down on velvet green. 
  

Now I may tell you that it's love and not just lust. 
And if we live the lie, let's lie in trust. 
On golden daffodils, to catch the silver stream 
that washes out the wild oat seed on velvet green. 
We'll dream as lovers under the stars --- 
of civilizations raging afar. 
And the ragged dawn breaks on your battle scars. 
As you walk home cold and alone upon velvet green. 
  

Walking on velvet green.  Scots pine growing. 
Isn't it rare to be taking the air, singing. 
Walking on velvet green. 
Walking on velvet green.  Distant cows lowing. 
Never a care: with your legs in the air, loving. 
Walking on velvet green.

I believe in fires at midnight

when the dogs have all been fed. 

   G      C    Am      Em 
A golden toddy on the mantle 

  C        G     G         Am 
a broken gun beneath the bed. 
  

 F      F       C        Am 
Silken mist outside the window.

Frogs and newts slip in the dark

too much hurry ruins the body.

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
