Chords

As recorded by Jethro Tull (From the 2022 Album THE ZEALOT GENE) [Intro] G F [Verse 1]
G
Hard to choose, to choose between them

F           C                 G
Tramps on a night out, out of season

G
Bare legs and arms at the taxi stand

         C                  G
Shoes in hand, cold kerb to freeze on
[Chorus]
     Em                D        Am
What desperation, what souls possessed

     F                 C      D
With lonely demons are put to test?

G
Why should we worry, why should we care

     F       C        Am       G
That warrior horsemen shame, defile them?

    F       Dm               C
Why tip the cabbie, plus his fare?
[Bridge]
   D
So send them home to stumble in

    F                   D
And toss their knickers in the bin

                      F      D
Repentance looms then mеlts away

C                        D
Mocked by dark unearthly silencе

  Am                   G
Replaced by incubus at play
[Verse 2]
G
Bad sisters stare, graffiti walls

      F    C         Am      G
Stare in return when weekend calls

                        F     G
The empty bragging, the empty lives

   D       C                  G
In anguish echo through empty malls
[Chorus]
     Em                D        Am
What desperation, what souls possessed

     F                 C      D
With lonely demons are put to test?

G
Why should we worry, why should we care

     F       C        Am       G
That warrior horsemen shame, defile them?

    F       Dm             C
The six-gun notches say it all
[Interlude] G [Verse 3]
G
It was hard to choose, to choose between them

F                      Am     G
Tramps on a night out, out of season

                F      G
Out of body and out of mind

D      C             G
Out of dark and into reason
[Flute Solo] Em D Am F C D G F C Am G F Dm C [Bridge]
D
Get them home to stumble in

    C                   D
And toss their knickers in the bin

D
Demons loom then melt away

C                              D
"Enough!" disrupts the earthly silence

       Am           G
Guilty Eros had his day

      G         Am        G
Hands two sad souls to Agápē
[Outro] G C G Dm G Dm G
