Aqualung

You may find it handy to substitute (4)'s with the (-4*) equivalent


-5 3 -3* -4* 4* -4*    -5 3 -3* -4* 4* -4*


Sitting on a park bench   Eyeing little girls with bad intent
 -5  3 -3* 4  4*    4     -5 -5* -5* -5* -5*   -3*  4   4* 4

Snot running down his nose   Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
 -5  -3*  4   4*   4*   4    -5 -5* -5* -3*  -3* 4   4  4*  4 -5* 6*

Hey Aqualung
-5* -5* -3* -3*

Drying in the cold sun   Watching as the frilly panties run
-5  3  -3* 4   4*   4     -5 -5* -5* -5* -5* -5* 6* 6* 6* 6* -5* 5 -5*

Hey Aqualung
-5* -5* -3* -3*

Feeling like a dead duck   Spitting out pieces of his broken luck
 -5  3  -3*  4  4*   4      -5  -5* -5* -5* 5 -5* -5* 6* 6*  6* -5* 5

Ohh Aqualung
-5* -5* -3* -3*



Sun streaking cold    An old man wandrin' lonely
-5   4  -3*   4 -3*   -3* 4  -3*  -5  4   -3* 3

Taking time the only way he knows
-3 -3*  4  -3* -3* 3  3  -1  -2

Leg hurting bad     As he bends to pick a dog-end
 -5  4 -3*  4 -3*    4 -3*  4   -3* -5  4  -3* 3

He goes down to the bog and warms his feet
-3 -3*   -3*  4 -3* -3 3  3   3   -1   -2

Feeling alone    The army's up the road
-5  4 -3* 4 -3*   -3* 4 -3* -5 -5 -3* 3

Salvation   a-la-mode    And a cup of tea
-3 -3* -3* 4 -3* -3 3     3  3  3  -1 -2

Aqualung my friend   Don't you start away uneasy
-5 -5  4 -3* 4 -3*     4   -3*   4  -3* -5 4 -3* 3

You poor old sod, you see, it's only me
-3  -3*  -3*  4   -3* -3     3  3 -1 -2


Do you still remember   December's foggy freeze
 3  3   -3*  -5 -5 5    -3* 4 -3*  4 -3*   -5

When the ice that clings on to your beard was screaming agony
  3   3   3    3   -3*  -5  -5  5     5   -3*   4  -3* -5 -3* 3

And you snatch your rattling last breaths with deep sea diver sounds
 3   3     3    3  -3* -5 -5  -5    5      -3*  4   -3* 4 -3*  -5

And the flowers bloom like madness in the spring
-3  -3*  -3* -3*  -3*  4   -3* -3* -3* -5 4 -3* 4
