Verse 1

        Gm7 (arpeggio) 
Watery eyes of the last sighing seconds blue reflections mute and dim 
Beckon tearful child of wonder to repentance of the sin 

        Gmsus4          Gm              Gmsus4          Gm 
And the blind and lusty lovers of the great eternal lie 
         Gmsus4 Gm              Gmsus4          Gm 
Go on believing nothing since something has to die 
         Gm7sus4  Gm    Gm7sus4 Gm 
And the apes          curiosity money power wins 
        Eb6sus4         Eb6     F       G 
And the yellow soft mountains move under him 

D    C/D 


Chorus 
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jethro_tull/for_michael_collins_jeffrey_and_me_crd.html ]
D                                            C        D 
I'm with you L.E.M. though it's a shame that it had to be you 
D                                            C        D 
The mother ship is just a blip from your trip made for two 
D                                            C        D 
I'm with you boys so please employ just a little extra care 
D                                            C         D 
It's on my mind I'm left behind when I should have been there 
D   G           Gmsus4          Gm 
Walking with you 
  

Verse 2 (same as verse 1) 

And the limp face hungry viewer fight to fasten with their eyes 
Like the man hung from the trapeze whose fall will satisfy 
And congratulate each other on their rare and wondrous deed 
That their begrudged money bought to sow the monkey's seed 
And the yellow soft mountains grow very still 
Witness as intrusion the humanoid thrill 

Chorus 

I'm with you L.E.M. though it's a shame that it had to be you 
The mother ship is just a blip from your trip made for two 
I'm with you boys so please employ just a little extra care 
It's on my mind I'm left behind when I should have been there 
Walking with you
