  • Notes:
    1. On the Aqualung album, a lot of the guitar is covered over
    by the strong piano parts. I gleaned most of the guitar
  • background from a bootleg recording on which this cut
    consists pretty much of Ian Anderson and acoustic guitar.
    Might be a little different from what's played on the
  • album.
     
    2. My naming of a couple of the more bizarre chords might be
  • off; if my ignorance is showing, someone let me know
    (gently) where I'm all wet.
     
  • 3. The lyrics below are different in 2-3 places from the ones
    printed in the album liner notes; this happens in spots
    where I'm pretty sure the liner notes are off.
  • Intro:
     
    e|----------------|--------------------||
  • B|----------------|--------------------||
    G|----------------|--------------------||
    D|---7-----------7|----7---7---7--5-h7-||
  • A|-0--------------|--0---0---0---------||
    E|----------------|--------------------||
    let ring | repeat several times,
  • at increasing tempo
     
    Am B7/A
  • e|----------------|----------------|
    B|-5--------------|-4--------------|
    G|-5--------------|-4--------------|
  • D|-7--------------|-7--------------|
    A|-0--------------|-0--------------|
    E|----------------|----------------| Repeat to this point 2x
  • finger pick in let ring
    this position
    for a while...
  •  
    e|---------------------------------------------------|
    B|---------------------------------------------------|
  • G|------------------------------2--------2-s4--------|
    D|------------------------0-2-3--------3---s5----5---|
    A|-0---0------------0-2-3----------------------------|
  • E|---------------------------------------------------|
    let ring
     
  • Verse 1:
     
    Part 1: This part can either be strummed (muting both E and e)
  • or finger-picked. The Aqualung album version seems to
    be mostly strumming, but it's almost overpowered by the
    piano part once that starts. On the bootleg, Anderson
  • finger-picks it, and it sounds really nice. If you do
    finger-pick it, throwing in a little of the high 'e'
    string sounds good -- play with it and see.

    Am B7addE/A DmaddE/A E7/A Am
    e|--0-------------------------4-----0-----| Repeated twice as intro,
  • B|-10--0------------6---------5----10-----| before piano line begins.
    G|--9--8------------7---------4-----9-----| Then repeated throughout
    D|-10--7------------7---------0----10-----| first part of each verse.
  • A|--0--0--------0---0---------0-----0-----| See below for timing.
    E|----------------------------------------|
     
  • Here's how it lines up with the lyrics:
     
     
  • Am B7 Dm E7 Am Am B7
    People, what have you done
    Dm E7 Am Am B7 Dm E7 Am
  • Locked Him in His golden cage
    Am B7 Dm E7 Am Am B7
    Made Him bend to your religion
  • Dm E7 Am Am B7 Dm E7 Am B7 Dm E7
    Him resurrected from the grave
     
  •  
    Part 2: Chords, all strummed:
     
  • D G
    He is the God of nothing,
    C G Am B7 Dm E7 Am Am B7 Dm E7
  • If that's all that you can see
    D G
    You are the God of everything,
  • C G D CaddD D ( CaddD = XX0030 )
    He's inside you and me.
     
  •  
    Verse 2:
     
  • Am B7 Dm E7 Am Am B7
    So lean upon Him gently
    Dm E7 Am
  • And don't call on him to save
     
     
  • Riff #1
    e|--------------------------| This riff replaces the Am - B7addE/A etc.
    B|--------------------------| chord progression for the remainder of
  • G|--------------------------| the verse. There are a couple of minor
    D|--------------------------| variations here and there, very simple.
    A|--7--6------5-3-----------|
  • E|---------------5-0-3-5----|
    ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ <-- rough idea of timing: 6/8, ^ = 1/8
     
  •  
    (keep playing Riff #1 here ...) D C
    you from your social graces, and the sins you used to waive.
  •  
    D G
    The bloody Church of England,
  • C G (Riff #1 again)
    in chains of history,
    D G
  • requests your earthly presence
    C G D C D
    at the vicarage for tea.
  •  
     
    Solo section: (sorry for the lack of detail here, but I'm pretty lame at
  • picking out solos note for note)
     
     
  • Lead-in to flute solo:
     
    Chord progression is: Am E D C G (2x)
  •  
    Solo riff here is blues scale rooted at fret 5 through Am-E-D,
    then up to fret 8 at the change to C, etc.
  •  
    Flute solo:
     
  • Background chord progression is: A E D/F# G
     
    Gregorian chant section:
  •  
    (No instrumental part here.)
     
  • Next, repeat same chord pattern used during flute solo: A E D/F# G
    Then return to: Am B7 Dm E to lead in to verse 3
     
  • Verse 3
     
    (Same as Verse 2; start quietly, then switch to Riff #1 on "crucifix"):
  •  
    And the graven image you-know-who,
    with His plastic crucifix,
  • Confuses me as to who and where and why,
    and to how He gets His kicks.
     
  • Confessing to the endless sin,
    the endless whining sounds.
    You'll be praying 'til next Thursday,
  • to all the Gods that you can count.
     
    Repeat lead-in section to flute solo (same chord pattern, different solo)
  •  
    End with:
    Am B7 Dm E7 Am B7 Dm E7 Am B7 Dm E7 Am B7
