We Used To Know chords by Jethro Tull

Chords with lyrics

E minorEm         BB
 Whenever I get to feel this way,
D MajorD         A augmentedA
 Hard to find new words to say,
C majorC          G+G
 I think about the bad old days
F#F#      BB
 We used to know.

E minorEm         BB
 Nights of winter turn me cold --
D MajorD         A augmentedA
 Fears of dying, getting old.
C majorC           G+G
 We ran the race the race was won
F#F#      BB
 By running slowly.

E minorEm          BB
 Could be soon well cease to sound,
D MajorD         A augmentedA
 Slowly upstairs, faster down.
C majorC         G+G
 Then to revisit stony grounds,
F#F#      BB
 We used to know.

E minorEm         BB
 Remembering mornings, shillings spent,
D MajorD         A augmentedA
 Made no sense to leave the bed.
C majorC          G+G
 The bad old days they came and went
F#F#       BB
 Giving way to fruitful years.

(Instrumental solo)

E minorEm       BB
 Saving up the birds in hand
D MajorD         A augmentedA
 While in the bush the others land.
C majorC          G+G
 Take what we can before the man
F#F#        BB
 Says its time to go.

E minorEm         BB
 Each to his own way I'll go mine.
D MajorD         A augmentedA
 Best of luck in what you find.
C majorC              G+G
 But for your own sake remember times
F#F#      BB
 We used to know.
