Notes:

        1. On the Aqualung album,

..a lot of the guitar is covered

..over

           by the strong piano

..parts.  I gleaned most of the

..guitar

           background from a

..bootleg recording on which this

..cut

           consists pretty much of

..Ian Anderson and acoustic

..guitar.

           Might be a little

..different from what's played on

..the

           album.

        2. My naming of a couple

..of the more bizarre chords might

..be

           off; if my ignorance is

..showing, someone let me know

           (gently) where I'm all

..wet.

        3. The lyrics below are

..different in 2-3 places from the

..ones

           printed in the album

..liner notes; this happens in

..spots

           where I'm pretty sure

..the liner notes are off.

Verse 1:

Part 1: This part can either be

..strummed (muting both E and e)

        or finger-picked.  The

..Aqualung album version seems to

        be mostly strumming, but

..it's almost overpowered by the

        piano part once that

..starts.  On the bootleg,

..Anderson

        finger-picks it, and it

..sounds really nice.  If you do

        finger-pick it, throwing

..in a little of the high 'e'

        string sounds good -- play

..with it and see.

        Here's how it lines up

..with the lyrics:

        People, what have you done

        Locked Him in His golden

..cage

        Made Him bend to your

..religion

        Him resurrected from the

..grave

Part 2: Chords, all strummed:

        He is the God of nothing,

        If that's all that you can

..see

        You are the God of

..everything,

             C      G       D 

..CaddD  D         ( CaddD =

..XX0030 )

        He's inside you and me.

Verse 2:

        So lean upon Him gently

        And don't call on him to

..save

    ^  ^  ^  ^  ^  ^           <--

.. D C

        you from your social

..graces, and the sins you used to

..waive.

        The bloody Church of

..England,

           C         G            

..   (Riff #1 again)

        in chains of history,

        requests your earthly

..presence

        at the vicarage for tea.

Solo section: (sorry for the lack

..of detail here, but I'm pretty

..lame at

        picking out solos note for

..note)

Lead-in to flute solo:

        Chord progression is:   Am

.. E  D  C  G  (2x)

        Solo riff here is blues

..scale rooted at fret 5 through

..Am-E-D,

        then up to fret 8 at the

..change to C, etc.

Flute solo:

        Background chord

..progression is:   A  E  D/F#  G

Gregorian chant section:

        (No instrumental part

..here.)

Next, repeat same chord pattern

..used during flute solo:  A  E 

..D/F#  G

Then return to:  Am B7 Dm E  to

..lead in to verse 3

Verse 3

(Same as Verse 2; start quietly,

..then switch to Riff #1 on

.."crucifix"):

    And the graven image

..you-know-who,

    with His plastic crucifix,

    Confuses me as to who and

..where and why,

    and to how He gets His kicks.

    Confessing to the endless sin,

    the endless whining sounds.

    You'll be praying 'til next

..Thursday,

    to all the Gods that you can

..count.

Repeat lead-in section to flute

..solo (same chord pattern,

..different solo)

End with:
