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.

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

I thank god He stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down...

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.

And the first moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal game

to join in the worship of the light that never dies
     Gm                               A#       F      C

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.

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.

Como intro:
Desnudar el sin razón
que modelo nuestras vidas
Parece ser causa perdida.

Nadie apuesta detener
el motor que contamina
el aire que a diario respiras

Am
Y que respiraste ayer,
Como intro
y que mañana tal vez, no lo sé.
Por eso hoy

Am
Reflexionando en esto,
C5
la madrugada pasó,
B5 / Am / G5 / F5# / Em
y dejó otro día para ser.

Drogadependiente, doctor o paciente,

Vender, comprar.
Comer, cagar.
Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser

Culpable o inocente, malviviente o juez.
O quien con sólo su firma decreta la ley.
Pronucleares informistas modelan la situación.
Más tecnología, por más energía.
Fuga radiactiva de progreso.

Vender, comprar.
Comer, cagar.
Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser.

Derrame de combustible, exterminio forestal.
El motor contaminante no se detendrá.
Para ser hay otro día en el planeta inferior.
Como cualquier día, como todo día
Con o sin mi reflexión.

Vender, comprar.

Morir, nacer.

Sufrir, gozar.
Odiar, amar.
Ser o no ser.

Vender, comprar.

Beautiful Girls

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

Oh! líbrame . . .

Líbrame de la galaxia

lo que ya sé nos pasó

respirar y oxidar,

y como fondo un cielo.

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe,

tal vez

me sentirás tal vez

me sentirás

las aguas en tus ojos

vibran su dulce brillo

una piel y una flor

son tus pechos,

que no piensan menos mal,

oh por favor,

gira loca girasol . . .

déjame como estoy,

ya te amé y allí morí,

quédate quédate oh!

déjame explicarte,

solo extiéndete una vez más . . .

extiéndete una vez más . . .

eres mi esperanza,

solo una grieta en mi existir . . .

no somos solo cuerpos,

y como un fondo un cielo . . .

no es solo un burro,

que es un ángel de fe

tal vez me sentirás

tal vez me sentirás

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.
