Requiem Chords

(ver. 1)
Jethro Tull
CAPO 3

VERSE 1
C         Am      D    G     D               Em   (lick1)
  Well, I saw a bird today --- flying from a bush 
C         Am            D (lick2)
 and the wind blew it away. 
         Bm       E       A     C#m                     F#m
And the black-eyed mother sun scorched the butterfly at play 
(lick3)      D     Bm       E    (lick4a)
--- velvet veined. I saw it burn. 
C         Am                G   (lick5) F          Fsus2      Dm      C 
  With a wintry storm-blown sigh,        a silver cloud blew right on by. 
                   G   Em       D             G G/F# Em (lick1)
And, taking in the morning, I sang --- O Requiem.

VERSE 2
C          Am   D     G      
  Well, my lady told me, ``Stay.'' 
        D                 Em   (lick1)  C  Am                D   (lick2)
I looked aside and walked away ---              along the Strand.
      Bm     E      A           C#m              F#m 
But I didn't say a word, as the train time-table blurred
(lick3)         D   Bm           E   (lick4b)
--- close    behind   the taxi stand. 
C                    Am                  G      (lick5)
 Saw her face in the tear-drop black cab window.
F                  Fsus2   Dm         C 
 Fading into the traffic; watched her go.
                  G   Em            C   D                  G  
And taking in the morning, heard myself singing --- O Requiem. 
G   G/F# Em     (lick1)
Here I go again. It's the same old story.

Instrumental
C        Am      D    G     D               Em   (lick1)
 Dee dee dee ...
C         Am            D    (lick2)
 dee dee dee ...
         Bm       E      A     C#m     F#m
dee dee dee ...
(lick3)      D     Bm       E    (lick4c)
--- dee dee dee ...

OUTRO
C        Am      D    G                  D               Em  (lick1)
 Well, I saw a bird today --- I looked aside and walked away         along the Strand.
