JETHRO TULL - WIND UP
SUBMITTED BY: DAVID JONES
[D]When I was yo[Em7]ung and they packed[D] me off to school[F#]
An[G]d taught me how not to [D]play the game,[Asus4] [Asus2] [A] [A]
[D]I didn't mind[Em7] if they groomed[D] me for succ[F#]ess,
[G]Or if they said [D]that I was a foo[Asus4]l.[Asus2] [A] [A]
[D]So I left there in the mor[Em7]ning
[D]With their God tucked underneath[F#] my arm --
[G]Their half-assed smile[D]s and the book of [Asus4]rules.[Asus2] [A] [A]
[D]So I asked th[Em7]is God a question
[D]And by way of firm repl[F#]y,
[G]He said -- I'm not the kind [D]you have to wind up o[Asus4]n Sund[Asus2]ays.[A]
[D]So to my old hea[Em7]dmaster (and to [D]anyone who cares):[F#]
[G]Before I'm through I'd like [D]to say my prayers --[Asus4] [Asus2] [A]
[D]I don't belie[Em7]ve you:
[D]You had the whole damn thing all [F#]wrong --
[G]He's not the kind you h[D]ave to wind up on [Asus4]Sunday[Asus2]s.[A]
[G]Well you can exco[A]mMunicate me o[D]n my way to[Bm] Sunday school[G]
[G]And have all the bishops [A]harmonize these lines --[Bm]
[Bm]How do you dare tell me that I'm my Father's son
[G]When that was ju[D]st an accident of [F#]Birth.
[Bm]I'd rather look around me -- compose a better song
[G]`cos that's the [D]honest measure of my wor[F#]th.
[Bm]In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me,
[G]As you lick the boots of[D] death born out of fear.[F#]
[Bm]When I was young and they packed me off to school
An[G]d taught me how [D]not to play the game,[F#]
[Bm]I didn't mind if they groomed me for success,
[G]Or if they said t[D]hat I was a foo[F#]l.
[Bm]So I left there in the morning
[Bm]With their God tucked underneath my arm --
[G]Their half-asse[D]d smiles and the book of rule[F#]s.
[G]Well you can exco[A]mmunicate me on[D] my way [Bm]to Sunday[G] school
[G]And have all the bishops [A]harmonize these lines -[Bm]-
[D]When I was [Em7]young and the[D]y packed me off to schoo[F#]l
A[G]nd taught me how not to[D] play the game,[Asus4] [Asus2] [A] [A]
[D]I didn't mind[Em7] if they gr[D]oomed me for succe[F#]ss,
[G]Or if they said [D]that I was a foo[Asus4]l.[Asus2] [A] [A]
[D]So to my ol[Em7]d headmaster [D](and to anyone who[F#] cares):
B[G]efore I'm through I'd l[D]ike to say my pr[Asus4]ayers [Asus2]--[A] [A]
[G]Well you can exco[A]mMunicate me on my way t[D]o Sunday scho[Bm]ol[G]
[G]And have all the[A] bishops harmonize these [Bm]lines --
[D]I don't belie[Em7]ve you:
[D]You had the whole damn thing all [F#]wrong --
[G]He's not the k[D]ind you have to [Asus4]wind u[Asus2]p on S[A]un[A]days.
