JETHRO TULL - WIND UP
SUBMITTED BY: DAVID JONES
D Em7 D F#
When I was young and they packed me off to school
G D Asus4 Asus2 A A
And taught me how not to play the game,
D Em7 D F#
I didn't mind if they groomed me for success,
G D Asus4 Asus2 A A
Or if they said that I was a fool.
D Em7
So I left there in the morning
D F#
With their God tucked underneath my arm --
G D Asus4 Asus2 A A
Their half-assed smiles and the book of rules.
D Em7
So I asked this God a question
D F#
And by way of firm reply,
G D Asus4 Asus2 A
He said -- I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
D Em7 D F#
So to my old headmaster (and to anyone who cares):
G D Asus4 Asus2 A
Before I'm through I'd like to say my prayers --
D Em7
I don't believe you:
D F#
You had the whole damn thing all wrong --
G D Asus4 Asus2 A
He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays.
G A D Bm G
Well you can excomMunicate me on my way to Sunday school
G A Bm
And have all the bishops harmonize these lines --
Bm
How do you dare tell me that I'm my Father's son
G D F#
When that was just an accident of Birth.
Bm
I'd rather look around me -- compose a better song
G D F#
`cos that's the honest measure of my worth.
Bm
In your pomp and all your glory you're a poorer man than me,
G D F#
As you lick the boots of death born out of fear.
