Corrections welcome (please email) - Thanks.

Notes:
1. On the Aqualung album, a lot of the guitar is covered over
by the strong piano parts. I gleaned most of the guitar
background from a bootleg recording on which this cut
consists pretty much of Ian Anderson and acoustic guitar.
Might be a little different from what's played on the
album.

2. My naming of a couple of the more bizarre chords might be
off; if my ignorance is showing, someone let me know
(gently) where I'm all wet.

3. The lyrics below are different in 2-3 places from the ones
printed in the album liner notes; this happens in spots
where I'm pretty sure the liner notes are off.

Intro:

e ---------------- --------------------

D ---7-----------7 ----7---7---7--5-h7-
A -0-------------- --0---0---0---------

Verse 1:

Part 1: This part can either be strummed (muting both E and e)
or finger-picked. The Aqualung album version seems to
be mostly strumming, but it's almost overpowered by the
piano part once that starts. On the bootleg, Anderson
finger-picks it, and it sounds really nice. If you do
finger-pick it, throwing in a little of the high 'e'
string sounds good -- play with it and see.


[Am] [B7addE/A] [DmaddE/A] [E7/A] [Am]

e --0-------------------------4-----0----- Repeated twice as intro,
B -10--0------------6---------5----10----- before piano line begins.
G --9--8------------7---------4-----9----- Then repeated throughout
D -10--7------------7---------0----10----- first part of each verse.
A --0--0--------0---0---------0-----0----- See below for timing.
E ---------------------------------------- 

Here's how it lines up with the lyrics:

[Am]Peop[B7]le, what have you [Dm]don[E7]e[Am][Am][B7]
Locked Him [Dm]in His [E7]golden [Am]cage[Am][B7][Dm][E7][Am]
Made Him [Am]bend to [B7]your re[Dm]lig[E7]ion[Am][Am][B7]
Him resur[Dm]rected f[E7]rom the [Am]grave[Am][B7][Dm][E7][Am][B7][Dm][E7]

Part 2: Chords, all strummed:

He is[D] the God of [G]nothing,
If that's [C]all that [G]you can [Am]see[B7][Dm][E7][Am][Am][B7][Dm][E7]
You are[D] the God of [G]everything,
C G D CaddD D ( CaddD XX0030 )
He's inside you and me.

Verse 2:

So [Am]lean up[B7]on Him gent[Dm]ly[E7][Am][Am][B7]
And don't c[Dm]all on [E7]him to [Am]save

Riff #1

e -------------------------- This riff replaces the Am - B7addE/A etc.
B -------------------------- chord progression for the remainder of
G -------------------------- the verse. There are a couple of minor
D -------------------------- variations here and there, very simple.
A --7--6------5-3-----------
E ---------------5-0-3-5---- 

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ til next Thursday,
to all the Gods that you can count.

Repeat lead-in section to flute solo (same chord pattern, different solo)

End with:
[Am] [B7] [Dm] [E7] [Am] [B7] [Dm] [E7][Am][B7][Dm][E7][Am][B7]
