As recorded by Jethro Tull (From the 1971 Album AQUALUNG) [Acoustic Guitar Intro] Am Am7 G Am Am7 Am F G Am B7/A Dm/A Am Am B7/A Dm/A Am [Verse 1]

Am7           B7/A         Dm C6 Am B7/A
 People, what have you done?

       Dm       C6     Am   B7/A Dm C6 Am B7/A Dm C6
Locked him in his golden cage,   golden cage

Am             B7/A       Dm   C6 Am B7/A
 Made him bend to your religion

      Dm     C6 Am          B7/A Dm C6 Am  B7/A Dm C6
Him resurrected from the grave,   from the grave

[Chorus 1]

A5  D            G
 He is the God of nothing

          C        G       Am  B7/A Dm C6 Am B7/A Dm C6 A5
If that's all that you can see

    D              G
You are the God of everything

     C       G      D
He's inside you and me

[Interlude] Am B7/A Dm C6 Am B7/A Dm C6 [Verse 2]

Am         B7/A     Dm  C6 Am B7/A
 So lean upon him gently

          Dm     C6  Am      B7/A  Dm C6 Am  B7/A  Dm C6
And don't call on him to save

Am             B7/A     Dm  C6 Am B7/A
 You from your social graces

    Dm      C6 Am             B7/A Dm   C6   Am     B7/A  Dm C6 N.C.
And the sins   you used to waive,   you used to waive

[Chorus 2]

    D                      G
And the bloody church of England

   C5       G5    Am  B7/A Dm C6 Am  B7/A  Dm C6 N.C.
In chains of history

  D                   G
Requests your earthly presence

       C5      G5   D5  C5 D5
At the vicarage for tea

[Guitar Solo] A5 E5 D5 F5 C5 G5 A5 N.C. E5 N.C. D5 N.C. F5 C5 G5 [Flute Solo] A E D G A E D G D A E D G D A E D G [Breakdown] Dm [Interlude] A E D G A E D G A E D G A E D G [Flute Solo] Am B7/A Dm C6 Am B7/A Dm C6 Am B7/A Dm C6 Am B7/A Dm C6 [Verse 3]

Am         B7/A                Dm C6 Am B7/A
 And the graven image you know who

         Dm  C6  Am     B7/A Dm       C6 Am    B7/A  Dm C6
With his plastic crucifix,   he's got him fixed 

Am        B7/A             Dm       C6 Am B7/A 
 Confuses me as to who and where and why

Dm    C6  Am          B7/A Dm    C6 Am       B7/A  Dm C6 N.C.
As to how he gets his kicks, he gets his kicks

[Chorus 3]

   D              G
Confessing to the endless sin

    C5      G5      Am   B7/A Dm C6 Am  B7/A Dm C6 
The endless whining sounds

N.C.      D                G    
You'll be praying till next Thursday

           C5        G5      D5   C5 D5       
To all the gods that you can count
