(just the Chords ... lift some of your fingers now and then and do some 
 finger-picking to get the right I.A. sound) 


1 (& 2 verse)
Em         D                        Am
Sun streaking cold an old man wandring lonely, 
Am              Em          D 
taking time the only way he knows. 
Em           D                         Am
Legs hurting bad as he bends to pick a dog end . 
   Am               Em                D 
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet. 

Em                D             Am
Feeling alone the army's up the road, 
Am             Em                D 
salvation a la mode and a cup of tea. 
Em          D                             Am
Aqualung my friend, don't you  start away uneasy. 
    Am           Em            F 
You poor old sod see it's only me. 

(faster and heavier) 

Em                D                   Em 
Do you still remember Decembers foggy freeze 
        D 
when the ice that clings onto your beard 
     Em 
was screaming agony? 
   D           Em 
And your ratling last breaths with deepseadiver sounds 
 Am      D 
and the flowers bloom like madness in the spring.

Repeat...
