Chords for Jethro Tull - Wind Up (Lyrics)

_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [D] _ When I was young and they packed me off [F#] to school
And [G] they taught [D] me how not to [A] play the game _
_ _ _ [D] I [G] didn't mind [D] if they groomed me for [F#] success
_ [G] Or if they said [D] that I was just a [A] fool
So _ [D]
I left there in the morning
With that guard tucked [F#] underneath my arm
[G] The half-assed [D] smiles and the book of rules
[A] _ _ [B] And [D] I asked this [E] guard a question
[D] And by way of [F#] firm reply
He [G] said, I'm not the [D] kind you have to [A] wind up on [E] [A] Sundays _
[D] So to my old [E] headmaster and to anyone [F#] who [G] cares
Before I'm [D] through, I'd [E] like to say my [A] prayers
_ _ [D] I [E] don't believe you, [D] you have the whole damn thing [F#] all wrong
[G] Is not the [D] kind you have to wind up on [A] Sundays
Well you [G] could next [A] commune and take me [D] on my way [Bm] to Sunday school
[G] And have all the [A] pictures on the [B] nightly fly
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [F#] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ How did Dad not tell me that I'm a farmer's son
[G] When that was [D] just an accident [F#] at first
_ _ [B] I'd rather look around me and compose a better song
Than pass [D] beyond this measure of [F#] my worth
_ [G] In your palm, with all [A] its glory, [D] you're a poor old man to me
As you lick the [A] boots of death [B] worn out of fear
_ Oh, _ _ _ when I was young and terribly pangy off the stool
[G] And forced me [D] out on to play [F#] the game
_ _ [B] I didn't mind the children's groom before I said
[G] Or is it [D] that I was [F#] just a fool
_ I left [A] there in the morning [D] with a thought in my [G] heart
That I had [A] smiles and [B] the moon grew _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well [G] you could next commune [A] and take me [D] on my way to Sunday school
[G] And have all the [A] pictures on the [B] nightly fly
_ _ _ When [D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [E] I was young [D] and they packed me off [F#] to school
[G] And they taught me how [A] not to play the game _
_ _ [D] _ I [E] didn't mind [D] if they groomed me for [F#] success
[G] Or if they [D] said that I was [B] just a [A] fool
So [D] to my [E] old headmaster [D] and to anyone [F#] who [G] cares
Before I'm through [D] I'd like to [B] say my [A] prayers
Well [G] you could next [A] commune and take me [D] on my way to [Bm] Sunday school
[G] And have all the [A] pictures on the [B] nightly fly
