I worked out the following chords for one of my favourite Tull songs
from one of my favourite Tull albums. I would appreciate it if someone
could confirm these chords for me. The fill-ins played during the
transitions from one chord to the other are fairly easy to work out, so
I haven't tabbed them (basically I'm too lazy!).

"From a Dead Beat to an Old Greaser"
----------------------------------
[D] From a dead beat to an [F#m]old greaser[A], here's thinking of y[F#m]ou.
You won't [E]remember the l[Em]ong n[Bm]ights
[G]coffee bars and [C]black tights and [D]white thighs,
in shop [F#m]windows, where blonde assi[A]stants
fully-fashioned a [F#m]world
[E]made of dummies with no [Em]mum[Bm]mies or[G] daddies to [C]reject them
When [D]bombs were banned every[F#m] Sunday and the [A]Shadows did F.B[F#m].I
And tired young [E]sax-players sold their instruments of [Em]tor[Bm]ture
Sat in a s[G]tation sharing [C]wet dreams,
of Charlie [D]Parker, Jack[F#m] Kerouac, Rene [A]Magritte
to name a [F#m]few, of the [E]heroes
who were too wise for their [Em]own [Bm]good
left the [G]young brood to go on[C] living wi[D]thout them.
**Intrumental** (F#m, A, F#m, E, Em, Bm, G, C)
[D]Old queers with [F#m]young faces,[A] who remember your [F#m]name,
though you're a [E]dead beat with [Em]tired [Bm]feet,
[G]two ends that [C]don't meet.
To a [D]dead beat from an [F#m]old greaser
[A] Think you must have me all [F#m]wrong
I didn't [E]care, friend.
I wasn't [Em]there, [Bm]friend,
If it's the price of a [G]pint that you need, ask [C]me again.
