Moths Jethro Tull
performed by Jethro Tull
(Capo 2)
[F#] [B] [A] [C#m] [C#m] [B] [A] [C#m] [C#m] [B] [A]
The [D]leaded window opened to move the [Bm]dancing candle flame
And the [Em]first Moths of summer [G]sui[D]cidal [A]came, oh, [G]sui[A]cidal [Bm]came.
And a [D]new breeze chattered in its [Bm]May-bud tenderness
Sending [Em]water-lil[Em7]lies [A]sailing as she [G]turned to [A]get und[Bm]ressed.
And the [D]long night awakened and we [Bm]soared on powdered wings
[Em]Circling our tomorrows in the [G]wary [D]month of [A]Spring.
Chasing shadows [D]slipping in a [Bm]magic lantern slide
[Em]Creatures of the [A]candle on a [G]night-[A]light-[Bm]ride.
[D]Dipping and weaving - flutter through the [Bm]golden needle's eye
in our [Em]haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking on a [G]Spring-[D]tide [A]high,
oh, on a [G]Spring-[A]tide [Bm]high.
[C#m] [C#m] [B] [A] [C#m] [C#m] [B] [A]
[E]Life's too [C#m]long (as the [A]Lemming [B]said)
as the [C#m]candle [Bb]burned and the [F#]Moths [C#]were [Ebm]wed.
And we'll [A]all burn tog[B]ether as the [E]wick [B]grows [C#m]higher
before the [B]can[F#]dle's [C#]dead.
[D] [Bm]
[Em] [G] [D] [A] [G] [A] [Bm]
The [F]leaded window opened to move the [Dm]dancing candle flame.
And the [Gm]first moths of summer [Bb]sui[F]cidal [C]came, oh, [Bb]sui[C]cidal [Dm]game
to [F]join in the worship of the [Dm]light that never dies
in a [Gm]moment's reflection of two moths [Bb]spinning [F]in her [C]eyes.
[E] [C#m] [C#m] [B] [A] [C#m] [C#m] [B] [A] [C#m]
