Flying Colours Chords by Jethro Tull

[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ Shout if you will, but [Em] that just won't do
_ I [F] for one would rather [G] follow soft [C] eruptions _
_ _ _ I'll [Dm] take the easy line, _ _ another [G] _
sip of wine
_ [A] And if [F] I ignore the [E] face you wore, it's just a [Am] way of mine
_ _ To _
[F] keep _ [Em] from _ _ flying _ [F] _ _ [Em] _ colors _
_ _ Oh _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] don't lay your baits _
[Am] [G] while the _ whole world waits [Dm] around
_ [G] They'll see [E] me shoot [Am] you down, it's all so sad and great _ _
And [Dm] we can laugh for [G] _ _
days on [C] _ loving nights _
[Am] But for [G] ours at least on [C] a war [G] whisper given
_ _ [C] You _ _ [F] _ _ always pick [B] the best time [Em] to rise [C] to the fight
_ [Am] [G] To break the [C] hard bargain [D] that we've driven
_ [Em] _
Once _ [Am] _ [G] again with [F] flying [E] colors _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ thought we had it out the [Em] night [A] before _ _ _
[F] _ _ Settled old [D] scores, _ open [C] up the _ hard way _ _
[Dm] Wanted to buy too much, _ [G] or at the mild sell here
Hit [F] our friends off, catch the [Am] needle, mask it with what they're due _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ In the fancy [G] _
restaurants we were [C] _ on, yo _ _
[Am] _ [G] _ Keeping [C] cool by mutual [G] _ _ volition
_ _ [C] _ _
_ [F] _ [Am] How did the [B] conversation get to where [Em] we _ [Bm] came [C] from?
[Am] _ _ [G] We were fed up [C] in a _ red [D] condition
_ _ [Em] _
And _ [Am] again [Em] with [C] flying [E] _
_ _ colors _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ [F] _ [Em] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _
[Dm] _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh
Shouts, but you [C] see it still won't do _ _
[F] With my colors on [Dm] I can be _ [C] just as bad as you
I've had [Dm] a glass too much, then I [G] give a smile to you _
[F] Hit our friends off, [B] catch the [Am] needle, mask it with what they're due _ _
We [Dm] _ _ act [G] our part so well [C] like we wrote the play _
_ [Am] _ [G] _ _ All [C] so predictable [G] and we know _ it
[C] _
_ _ _ [F] We'll [B] settle old scores now and [Em] settle the hard _ [C]
way
[Am] _ [G] It may not [C] even _ live through [D] our throat it
[Em] _
_ _ [Am] Once again [Em] with [Dm] flying colors
_ _ [C] Flying _ [G] _ [Bb] colors _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
