Intro: Am / C / Dm / F // F /// C /// Am / C / Dm / F // C ///
F/C///
AmFC
I review my past through wicked windows framed in silver
AFC
and hung in toughened glass, upon my face around and over
FCFCG
Now and then: memories of men who loved me.
FEFDmC
No stolen kiss - could match their march on hot coals for me.
A/C/D/F/F/C/C//
///
AmFC
I have walked a line both faint and narrow hard to follow,
AmFC
caught up in circumstance, harsh truth for history to mellow.
FCDmCG
Through my eyes: loyalties and obligation
FEFDmC
magnified: Obedience the better fellow.
A/C/D/F/F/C/C//
///
AmGD
Better not remember me. Don't miss my passing
AmGD
Fierce winter fails to ruffle my icy sleep.
AmGD
We never quite vanish. No wet soft surrender.
AmGD
Still waiting: bad blood running in close families.
DmFC
I laughed like any child - although you might find that strange
DmA
and Christmas was my favourite holiday.
DmA
Christmas was my favourite holiday.
A/C/D/F/F/C/C//
///
AmFC
I am not alone, in seeing the world through wicked windows,
AmFC
while others hide likewise, behind this vunerable squinting.
FCFCG
It's in the stare: It's in the silent scrutinizing.
FEFDmC
Strip you bare: I offer you no more disguising.
AmGD
Better not remember me. Don't miss my passing
AmGD
Fierce winter fials to ruffle my icy sleep.
AmGD
We never quite vanish. No wet soft surrender.
AmGD
Still waiting: bad blood running in close families.

I've been playing Ian's music (since '72) along with I'm sure, thousands of
others. Perhaps we could set up a world wide network of those like myself
who would love to meet (and jam) with others with the same love of Tull
music. You might list every major city in America (and the UK, Japan etc.)
and ask for a jam group leader for each city. I know you folks are out
there, I see you (and have joined you) jamming in the parking lot at every
Tull concert.
Enjoy, Bill Ungar
