Audition by Jethro Tull
Audition
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Cm
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
Am Am/G
The actors milling helplessly
F G D
The script is blowing out to sea
Dm E Am
But what the hell, we didn't even pass an audition
Am Am/G
The lines you'll have to improvise
F G D
The words are written in the eyes
Dm E Am
Of politicians who despise their fathers
Am Am/G
And so the play necessitates
F G D
That all you boys participate
Dm E Am
In fierce competition to eliminate each other
[Bridge]
Em A5 G Em
And groupies on their way to war get to write the next film score
Em A5 G Em
But the rock and roll star knows his glory is really nothing
Em A5 G Em
Men of religion on the make pledge an oath they undertake
Em A5 G Em
To make you wise for God's own sake and none other
[Verse 2]
Am Am/G
While ladies get their bedding done
F G D
To win themselves a bouncing son
Dm E Am
But bad girls do it for the fun of just being
Am Am/G
And me, I'm here to sing along
F G D
And I'm not concerned with righting wrongs
Dm E Am
Just asking questions that belong without an answer
Am Am/G
But God is laughing up his sleeve
F G D
As He pours himself another cup of tea
Dm E Am Em G
And He waves good-bye to you and me, at least for now
