From A Dead Beat To An Old Greaser Chords

(ver. 1)
Jethro Tull
[Verse 1]
       C               Em           G                  Em
From a dead beat to an old greaser, here's thinking of you
            D          Dm   Am      F               Bb
You won't remember the long nights, coffee bars and black tights
    C                    Em                     G                          Em
And white thighs in shop windows where blonde assistants fully-fashioned a world
        D               Dm Am      F            Bb
Made of dummies with no mommies or daddies to reject them
     C                       Em             G               Em
When bombs were banned every Sunday and the Shadows did F.B.I.
                D                                     Dm Am
And tired young sax-players sold their instruments of torture
           F               Bb                    C
Sat in the station sharing wet dreams of Charlie Parker
     Em            G                   Em
Jack Kerouac, René Magritte, to name a few
       D                                  Dm  Am
Of the heroes who were too wise for their own good
         F                    Bb         C
Left the young brood to go on living without them
 
[Instrumental]
Em G Em D Dm Am F Bb
 
[Verse 2]
C               Em          G                 Em
Old queers with young faces who remember your name
                D              Dm    Am    F             Bb
Though you're a dead beat with tired feet, two ends that don't meet
     C                 Em           G                          Em
To a dead beat from an old greaser, think you must have me all wrong
         D                      Dm     Am
I didn't care, friend; I wasn't there, friend
                       F                       Bb
If it's the price of a pint that you need, ask me again
