Requiem 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.
And the b[Bm]lack-eyed[E] mother [A]sun sc[C#m]orched the butterfly at [F#m]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] Well, my [Am]lady [D]told m[G]e, ``Stay.''
D Em (lick1) C Am D (lick2)
I looked aside and walked away --- along the Strand.
But I [Bm]didn't [E]say a w[A]ord, as the [C#m]train time-table [F#m]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] Fading into the tr[Fsus2]affic; w[Dm]atched her [C]go.
And taking in the [G]morn[Em]ing, heard mys[C]elf [D]singing --- O Requi[G]em.
G G/F# Em (lick1)
Here I go again. It's the same old story.
Instrumental

dee dee d[Bm]ee ...[E] [A] [C#m] [F#m]
(lick3) D Bm E (lick4c)
--- dee dee dee ...
