White Innocence by Jethro Tull
White Innocence
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Gm
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
Dm Gm
She drifted from some minor festival
F Eb
Didn't look like any summer of love
Eb F Gm
Just a thousand weekend warriors in a muddy field
Dm C
She was the hand to fit my glove
Bb C Dsus4
Funny thing, the innocence of the lonely
Bb C Dm
Funny thing, the charm of the young
[Verse 2]
Dm Gm
See how she moves just like two angels (in white innocence)
F Eb
Yet one of them is on the run
Eb F Gm
The other's tapping at my car window
Dm C
And I'm squinting through the sun
Bb C Dsus4
Trying to see if she's some child of the nineties
Bb C Dsus4
Or just another dangerous fantasy of mine
Gm
Yeah. White innocence
Gm
She was white innocence

[Verse 3]
Dm Gm
A perfect hole was in her stocking:
F Eb
It made a perfect window to her heart
Eb F Gm
I could have moved among her waterfalls
Dm C
Her misty curtains drawn apart
Dm Gm
Did she see warm safety in my numbers
F Eb
To want to hitch a ride this way?
Eb F Gm
Felt like I was taking her to market now
Dm C
To be sold as the last lot of the day
Bb C Dsus4
Funny thing, the distance of the lonely
Bb C Dm
Funny thing, the charm of the young
Gm
White innocence
[Verse 4]
Dm C
She pressed the button, lowered the window
F C G
Let her hand trail in the slipstream of the night
F C
A frost from nowhere seemed to lick her fingers
Bb C Dm
I could have warmed them, but the moment wasn't right
[Instrumental Break]
Em G Em D D F Bb Ab Eb Bb Db Ab
[Verse 5]
Dm C
Obvious, she was headed nowhere special
F C G
Yes, well it was even obvious to me
F C
I was doing some, some watching, some waiting
Bb C Dm
She'd been here before, most definitely
[Verse 6]
Dm Gm
There was the promise of early bed-time
F Eb
There was the promise of heaven on earth
Eb F Gm
Think I was sending out low-voltage electricity
Dm C
Played it right down for what it was worth
Dm Gm
She turned and looked at me in white innocence
F Eb
And with the clearest eyes of forever grey
Eb F Gm
She rested one small hand for a second on my knee:
Dm C
I stopped the car. She walked away
Bb C Dsus4
Funny thing, the wisdom of the lonely
Bb C Dm
Funny thing, the charm of the young
Gm
Away you go now
White innocence
