Wond'ring Aloud, Again by Jethro Tull
Wond'ring Aloud, Again
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:3rd fret
[Verse]
C Am G D
Wond'ring Aloud, how we feel today?
C Am G D
Last night set the sunset, my hand in her hair.
C D G Em D Em
We are our own saviors, as we start, both our hearts, beating life
G D
Into each other
[Verse]
C Am G D
Wond'ring aloud, will the years treat us well?
C Am G D
As she floats in the kitchen, I'm tasting the smell
C D G Em D Em
Of toast as the butter runs, then she comes, spilling crumbs, on the bed
G D
and I shake my head
Dm C G Em D
And it's only the giving that makes you, what you are.
***These chords also work for the back 1/2 of Wond'ring Again. as follows:
[Verse]
C Am G D
We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow.
C Am G D
Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I've been told.
C D G Em D Em
Stumbled on a daffodil, which she crushed, in the rush, heard it sigh
G D
And left it to die.
[Verse]
Em G D C D
At once felt remorse, and we're touched by the loss of our own
Em G D C D
Held its poor broken head in her hand, dropped some tears in the snow
Dm C G Em D
And it's only the taking that makes you, what you are
[Verse]
C Am G D
Wond'ring aloud, will the son one day be born
C Am G D
To share in our infancy, in the chance path we've worn
C D G Em D Em
In the aging seclusion of this earth, that our birth did suprise
G D
We'll open his eyes.

Wond'ring aloud, will the years treat us well?

Am G D F D
There's the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea
Am G D F D
And the motor car magical world long since ceased to be
Am G D F D
When the Eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the tree
C D C D
Incestuous ancestry's charabanc ride

Spawning new millions throws the world on its side

Supporting their far-flung illusion, the national curse
G D F C D
And those with no sandwiches please get off the bus
[Bridge 2]
Am G D F D
The excrement bubbles, the century's slime decays
Am G D F D
And the brainwashing government lackeys would have us say
Am G D F D
It's under control and we'll soon be on our way
C D C D
To a grand year for babies and quiz panel games
C D C D
Of hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain
G Cadd9 G/B G/Bb Cm7
The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old
G D F C D
And those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes

We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow

And left it to die
