Jethro Tull – Kelpie (Guitar)

Am  
There was a warm wind with the high tide  

        C                 Am  
on the south side of the hill.  

        G                 F  
When a young girl went a-walking  

       C               E   G  
and I followed with a will.  

Am  
"Good day to you, my fine young lady  

           C               Am  
with your lips so sweetly full.  

       G                  F  
May I help you comb your long hair ---  

           C                D     E  
sweep it from that brow so cool?"  

F    G             Am  
Up, ride with the kelpie.  

       F         G           C   E  
I'll steal your soul to the deep.  

              F         G            C        F  
If you don't ride with me while the devil's free  

                G       Am  
I'll ride with somebody else.  

Am  
Well I'm a man when I'm feeling  

    C               Am  
the urge to step ashore.  

           G                 F  
So I may charm you --- not alarm you.  

         C                     D    E  
Tell you all fine things, and more.  

F    G             Am  
Up, ride with the kelpie.  

       F         G           C   E  
I'll steal your soul to the deep.  

              F         G            C        F  
If you don't ride with me while the devil's free  

                G       Am  
I'll ride with somebody else.  

Am  
Say goodbye to all your dear kin ---  

          C               Am  
for they hate to see you go  

         G                     F  
in your young prime, to this place of mine  

         C               D   E  
in the still loch far below.  

F    G             Am  
Up, ride with the kelpie.  

       F         G           C   E  
I'll steal your soul to the deep.  

              F         G            C        F  
If you don't ride with me while the devil's free  

                G       Am  
I'll ride with somebody else.
