I worked out the following chords for one of my favourite Tull songs
from one of my favourite Tull albums. I would appreciate it if
someone
could confirm these chords for me. The fill-ins played during the
transitions from one chord to the other are fairly easy to work
out, so
I haven't tabbed them (basically I'm too lazy!).

"From a Dead Beat to an Old Greaser"
----------------------------------
D
F#m A
F#m
From a dead beat to an old greaser, here's thinking of you.
E
Em Bm
You won't remember the long nights
G
C
D
coffee bars and black tights and white thighs,
F#m
A
in shop windows, where blonde assistants
F#m
fully-fashioned a world
E
Em Bm G
C
made of dummies with no mummies or daddies to reject them
D
F#m
A
F#m
When bombs were banned every Sunday and the Shadows did F.B.I
E
Em Bm
And tired young sax-players sold their instruments of torture
G
C
Sat in a station sharing wet dreams,
D
F#m A
of Charlie Parker, Jack Kerouac, Rene Magritte
F#m
E
to name a few, of the heroes
Em Bm
who were too wise for their own good
G
C D
left the young brood to go on living without them.
**Intrumental** (F#m, A, F#m, E, Em, Bm, G, C)
D
F#m A
F#m
Old queers with young faces, who remember your name,
E
Em Bm
though you're a dead beat with tired feet,
G
C
two ends that don't meet.
D
F#m
To a dead beat from an old greaser
A
F#m
Think you must have me all wrong
E
I didn't care, friend.
Em
Bm
I wasn't there, friend,
G
C
If it's the price of a pint that you need, ask me again.
