Subject: UPLOAD: Wond’ring Aloud by Jethro Tull
arr: Jethro Tull / Words & Music by Ian Anderson
Here are the chords, you=D5ll have to listen to the song for the picking,=
as it varies from measure to measure. It is relatively complex, but well=
worth the effort. Or, for a quick fix, just strum softly through it. Goo=
d luck! 🙂
6/8 time, each chord is 1/2 measure.
C C Am Am G G D D D D =
Wond=D5ring Aloud, how we feel today?
C C Am Am G G D D D C D D D D
Last night set the sunset, my hand in her hair. =
C C D D G Em D D =
Em Em G =
We are our own saviors, as we start, both our hearts, beating life
G D D D D
Into each other
C C Am Am G G D D D D =
Wond=D5ring aloud, will the years treat us well?
C C Am Am G G D D D C D=
D D D
As she floats in the kitchen, I=D5m tasting the smell
C C D D G Em =
D D Em Em G =
Of toast as the butter runs, then she comes, spilling crumbs, on the =
bed
G D D D D
and I shake my head
Dm C G G Em Em =
D
And it=D5s only the giving that makes you, what you are.
Bonus! These chords also work for the back 1/2 of Wond=D5ring Again. Lyri=
cs follow:
We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow.
Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I=D5ve been told.
Stumbled on a daffodil, which she crushed, in the rush, heard it sigh
And left it to die.
At once felt remorse, and we=D5re touched by the loss of our own
Held its poor broken head in her hand, dropped some tears in the snow
And it=D5s only the taking that makes you, what you are
Wond=D5ring aloud, will the son one day be born
To share in our infancy, in the chance path we=D5ve worn
In the aging seclusion of this earth, that our birth did suprise
We=D5ll open his eyes.
