From A Dead Beat To An Old Greaser by Jethro Tull
From A Dead Beat To An Old Greaser
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
C Em G Em
From a dead beat to an old greaser, here's thinking of you
D Dm Am F Bb
You won't remember the long nights, coffee bars and black tights
C Em G Em
And white thighs in shop windows where blonde assistants fully-fashioned a world
D Dm Am F Bb
Made of dummies with no mommies or daddies to reject them
C Em G Em
When bombs were banned every Sunday and the Shadows did F.B.I.
D Dm Am
And tired young sax-players sold their instruments of torture
F Bb C
Sat in the station sharing wet dreams of Charlie Parker
Em G Em
Jack Kerouac, René Magritte, to name a few
D Dm Am
Of the heroes who were too wise for their own good
F Bb C
Left the young brood to go on living without them
[Instrumental]
Em G Em D Dm Am F Bb
[Verse 2]
C Em G Em
Old queers with young faces who remember your name
D Dm Am F Bb
Though you're a dead beat with tired feet, two ends that don't meet
C Em G Em
To a dead beat from an old greaser, think you must have me all wrong
D Dm Am
I didn't care, friend; I wasn't there, friend
F Bb
If it's the price of a pint that you need, ask me again
