with bad in-tent
shabby clothes Hey Aqualung
panties run Hey Aqualung
his broken luck Oh Aqualung
(just the Chords ... lift some of your fingers now and then and do some
finger-picking to get the right I.A. sound)
1 (& 2 verse)
Em D Am
Sun streaking cold an old man wandring lonely,
Am Em D
taking time the only way he knows.
Em D Am
Legs hurting bad as he bends to pick a dog end .
Am Em D
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet.
Em D Am
Feeling alone the army's up the road,
Am Em D
salvation a la mode and a cup of tea.
Em D Am
Aqualung my friend, don't you start away uneasy.
Am Em F
You poor old sod see it's only me.
(faster and heavier)
Em D Em
Do you still remember Decembers foggy freeze
D
when the ice that clings onto your beard
Em
was screaming agony?
D Em
And your ratling last breaths with deepseadiver sounds
Am D
and the flowers bloom like madness in the spring.
Repeat...
