Skating Away chords
Jethro Tull (Ian Anderson)

Capo III

(Opening must be fingerpicked)

C majorC     G+G      FF  A augmentedA
Mean while back in the year one
C majorC     G+G   FF   A augmentedA
When you belonged to no one
C majorC     G+G    FF   A augmentedA
You didn´t stand a chance son
C majorC    G+G     FF D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
If your pants were undone

        D MajorD     G+G
´Cause you were bred for humanity
  D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4  G+G
And sold to society
        D MajorD        G+G
One day you´ll wake up: in the present days
 Csus4Csus4         Bb majorBb
A augmentedA million generations, removed from expectation of,
D MajorD       G+G       A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
being who you really want to be

G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
      G+G      C majorC  G+G      C majorC    D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
     G+G          D MajorD
So as you push off from the shore,
               A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
won't you turn your head once more;
               D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G
and make your peace with everyone?
            D MajorD               A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
For those who choose to stay, will live just one more day
                 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G
To do the things they should have done

           G+G
And as you cross the wilderness,
 E minorEm        G+G       D MajorD          Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G
a spinning in your emptiness you feel you have to pray
       G+G       E minorEm    G+G
Looking for a sign, that the universal mind,
  D MajorD       G+G       A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
has written you into the passion play

G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
      G+G      C majorC  G+G      C majorC    D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
      G+G         D MajorD
And as you cross the circle line,
              A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
well the ice wall creaks behind;
            D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD G+G
you're a rabbit on the run
           D MajorD             A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
And silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye
            D MajorD
Shining in the setting sun

      G+G      E minorEm
Well do you ever get to feeling,
     G+G        E minorEm        D MajorD      Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
that the story's too damn real, and in the present tense
    G+G      E minorEm
Or that everybody's on the stage,
    G+G           E minorEm  D MajorD       G+G     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
and it seems like you're the only, person sitting in the audience?

G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
      G+G      C majorC  G+G      C majorC    D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay

G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
G+G    D MajorD
Skating away
