Jethro Tull – Audition (Guitar)

Am         Am/G
The actors milling helplessly

F             G       D
The script is blowing out to sea

Dm                           E              Am
But what the hell, we didn't even pass an audition

Am               Am/G
The lines you'll have to improvise

F             G       D
The words are written in the eyes

   Dm          E                 Am
Of politicians who despise their fathers

Am         Am/G
And so the play necessitates

F            G    D
That all you boys participate

   Dm                 E                 Am
In fierce competition to eliminate each other

Em                                      A5        G    Em
And groupies on their way to war get to write the next film score

Em                                   A5       G      Em
But the rock and roll star knows his glory is really nothing

Em                                    A5        G    Em
Men of religion on the make pledge an oath they undertake

Em                                      A5   G Em
To make you wise for God's own sake and none other

Am           Am/G
While ladies get their bedding done

F          G        D
To win themselves a bouncing son

    Dm              E                   Am
But bad girls do it for the fun of just being

Am          Am/G
And me, I'm here to sing along

F              G      D
And I'm not concerned with righting wrongs

     Dm                    E                 Am
Just asking questions that belong without an answer

Am         Am/G
But God is laughing up his sleeve

F              G    D
As He pours himself another cup of tea

       Dm                E                        Am  Em G
And He waves good-bye to you and me, at least for now
