Though the lyrics are almost identical between
the Traffic and Tull
versions, there are a few different phrases
in the Tull version that I
like better. However, musically I prefer
the Traffic version.
I don't know how many guitar players are on this
group (I don't
consider myself one : ), but I happen to think
that the Traffic version
is also a lot of fun to play, and it's an easy
song to impress people
with.
Capo on 7th fret, and pick these chord fingerings
(actual chords would
be up a fifth from these). It should be
easy to pick up from the
recording...

In 2/4, each "/" equals 1/8th note.

Then there's a little flute bridge, which is
basically the intro a
couple times, then on to the next verse.
Does anyone else have any good Tull (or related)
tabs or chords? I've
been working on all the stuff from the nevada.edu
ftp site and just got
the 20 years book, but there are still a few
good ones missing...
