Jethro Tull – Skating Away (Guitar)

C          G           F    A
Mean while back in the year one 

C          G      F     A 
When you belonged to no one 

C          G       F      A 
You didn´t stand a chance son 

C       G          F D  Dsus4 D 
If your pants were undone 

                D          G
´Cause you were bred for humanity  

    D  Dsus4   G
And sold to  society  

               D               G
One day you´ll wake up: in the present days  

  Csus4                  Bb
A million generations, removed from expectation of,

D             G              A  Asus4 A
being who you really want to be  

G         D 
 Skating away

G         D
 Skating away 

G         D 
 Skating away  

            G            C   G            C        D  Dsus4 D
On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay  ay ay ay ay

          G                    D                       
So as you push off from the shore,  

                              A   Asus4 A
won't you turn your head once more; 

                              D  Dsus4 D G
and make your peace with everyone? 

                        D                             A  Asus4 A
For those who choose to stay, will live just one more day  

                                  D  Dsus4 D G
To do the things they should have done  

                     G
And as you cross the wilderness, 

  Em               G             D                    Dsus4 D G
a spinning in your emptiness you feel you have to pray 

              G              Em        G
Looking for a sign, that the universal mind,  

    D             G              A   Asus4 A
has written you into the passion play 

G         D 
 Skating away

G         D
 Skating away 

G         D 
 Skating away  

            G            C   G            C        D  Dsus4 D
On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay  ay ay ay ay

           G                  D
And as you cross the circle line,

                           A   Asus4 A
well the ice wall creaks behind;

                       D  Dsus4 D G
you're a rabbit on the run 

                     D                         A  Asus4 A
And silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye  

                       D
Shining in the setting sun  

            G           Em
Well do you ever get to feeling,  

         G                Em               D            Dsus4 D 
that the story's too damn real, and in the present tense  

        G           Em
Or that everybody's on the stage, 

       G                     Em    D              G         A    Asus4 A
and it seems like you're the only, person sitting in the audience?  

G         D 
 Skating away

G         D
 Skating away 

G         D 
 Skating away  

            G            C   G            C        D  Dsus4 D
On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay  ay ay ay ay

G         D 
 Skating away

G         D
 Skating away 

G         D
