Sealion by Jethro Tull
Sealion
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse 1]
Em C
Over the mountains, and under the sky,
Em C
riding dirty grey horses, go you and I;
Em C
mating with chance copulating with mirth,
A D C
the sad glad paymasters (for what it's worth).
Asus4 A
The ice cream castles are refrigerated
Asus4 A
the super-marketeers are on parade.
B Bsus4 F#m
There's a golden handshake hanging 'round your neck
F#m E Em Bm
as you light your cigarette on the burning deck.
A B A B
And you balance your world on the tip of your nose
A B A B
like a sealion with a ball at the carnival.
[Verse 2]
Em C
You wear shiny skin and a funny hat
Em C
the Almighty Animal Trainer lets it go at that.
Em C
You bark ever so slightly at the Trainer's gun
A D C
with your whiskers melting in the noonday sun.
Asus4 A
You flip and you flop under the Big White Top
Asus4 A
where the long legged ring mistress starts and stops.
B Bsus4 F#m
But you know after all the act is wearing thin
F#m E Em Bm
as the crowd grows uneasy and the boos begin.
A B A B
But you balance your world on the tip of your nose
A B A B
you're a sealion with a ball at the carnival.

[Verse 3]
Em C
Just a trace of pride upon our fixed grins,
Em C
for there is no Business like the Show we're in.
Em C
There is no reason, no rhyme, no right
A C
to leave the circus 'till we've said goodnight.
Asus4 A
The same performance in the same old way
Asus4 A
it's the same old story to this Passion Play.
B Bsus4 F#m
So we'll shoot the moon and hope to call a tune
F#m E Em Bm
and make no pin cushion of this big balloon.
A B A B
Look how we balance the world on the tip of your noses
A B A B
like sealions with a ball at the carnival.
