JETHRO TULL - WIND UP
--.-/watch?ds49atLd7BuiC5co
[Verse 1]
D Em7 D F#
When I was young and they packed me off to school
G D Asus4 Asus2 A
And taught me how not to play the game
D Em7 D F#
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success
G D Asus4 Asus2 A
Or if they said that I was a fool
[Verse 2]
D Em7
So I left there in the morning
D F#
With their God tucked underneath my arm
G D Asus4 Asus2 A A
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules
D Em7
So I asked this God a question
D F#
And by way of firm reply,
G D Asus4 Asus2 A
He said - I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays
[Verse 3]
D Em7 D F#
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):
G D Asus4 Asus2 A
Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers
D Em7
I don't believe you:
D F#
You had the whole damn thing all wrong
G D Asus4 Asus2 A
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays
[Bridge]
G A D Bm
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday School
G A Bm
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
[Riff]
F# A Bm x2
Bm
[Chorus]
Bm
How do you dare tell me that I'm my Father's son
G D F#
When that was just an accident of birth
Bm
I'd rather look around me - compose a better song
G D F#
'cos that's the honest measure of my worth
G A D Bm
In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me,
G A Bm
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear
Bm
When I was young and they packed me off to school
G D F#
And taught me how not to play the game,
Bm
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success,
G D F#
Or if they said that I was a fool
Bm A
So I left there in the morning
D Bm
With their God tucked underneath my arm
G A Bm
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules
[Riff]
Bm
[Bridge]
G A D Bm
Well, you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday School
G A Bm
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
D Em7 D F#
G D Asus4 Asus2 A A
[Verse 4]
D Em7 D F#
When I was young and they packed me off to school
G D Asus4 Asus2 A A
And taught me how not to play the game,
D Em7 D F#
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success,
G D Asus4 Asus2 A A
Or if they said that I was a fool
D Em7 D F#
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):
G D Asus4 Asus2 A A
Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers
G A D Bm
Well,you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday School
G A Bm
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines
[Outro]
D Em7
I don't believe you:
D F#
You had the whole damn thing all wrong
G D Asus4 Asus2 A A
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays
