Jethro Tull - The Story Of The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles Chords

F                         D
Owl loved to rest quietly whilst no one was watching
F/C                                   G
Sitting on a fence one day, he was surprised when suddenly a Kangaroo ran close by
F                     D
Now this may not seem strange, but when Owl overheard Kangaroo
F/C                              N.C.
Whisper to no one in particular: "The hare has lost his spectacles."
G                        C5
Well, he began to wonder
Eb5            Gb5
Presently, the moon appeared from behind a cloud
    G                             C5   Eb5
And there, lying on the grass was Hare
N.C.                                          Gb5
In the stream that flowed by the grass a Newt
N.C.                                   Em
And sitting astride a twig of a bush a Bee
F                      D                      F
Ostensibly motionless, the Hare was trembling with excitement
                D
For without his spectacles he appeared completely helpless
F/C
Where were his spectacles?
G
Could someone have stolen them?
A
Had he mislaid them?
C
What was he to do?
Dm                                      Em
Bee wanted to help, and thinking he had the answer began:
Eb                                          C
"You probably ate them thinking they were a carrot."
F                      D
"No!" interrupted Owl, who was wise
             F
"I have good eye-sight, insight, and foresight.
               D                                   F/C
How could an intelligent Hare make such a silly mistake?"
                  G                                  Ab5
But all the time, Owl had been sitting on the fence, scowling!
F             D
Kangaroo were hopping mad at this sort of talk
F                                   D
She thought herself far superior in intelligence to the others
F/C
She was their leader, their guru
G                                                           Dm
She had the answer: "Hare, you must go in search of the optician."
Dm                         Em                  Eb
But then she realized that Hare was completely helpless without his spectacles
                 C                  N.C.
And so, Kangaroo loudly proclaimed, "I can't send Hare in search of anything!"

"You can, guru, you can!" shouted Newt. "You can send him with Owl."
 
D
But Owl had gone to sleep
F                                      D
Newt knew too much to be stopped by so small a problem
                  F/C
"You can take him in your pouch."
               G
But alas, Hare was much too big to fit into Kangaroo's pouch
Csus4                            G
All this time, it had been quite plain to Hare
                     Csus4                    C
That the others knew nothing about spectacles
    C      G         C         F          G    F      G    G5 Bb5 G5 Bb5
And as for all their tempting ideas, well Hare didn't care
    C               Bb       C     Bb
The lost spectacles were his own affair
    Gm                  F              G
And after all, Hare did have a spare a-pair
N.C.   G
A-pair
