Roots To Branches: (transcribed by Paul Forrest of the Dayglo Pirates UK Jethro Tull Tribute band)

Intro: F#

Bsus2               Bsus2
Words get written. Words get twisted.

Bsus2                     Bsus2
Old meanings move in the drift of time

A
Lift the flickering torches. See gentle shadows change

Bsus2
the features of the faces cut in unmoving stone.

Dsus2 Esus2      A5    G5           Bsus2
Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no one's listening.

Dsus2 Esus2         G5 A5     F#
Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening.
(Same chords as above)

True disciples carrying that message to colour just a little with their personal touch. Home-spun fancy weavers and naked half-believers. Crusades and creeds descend like fiery flakes of snow. Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no one's listening. Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening. Roots to branches. Roots to branches. Roots to branches.

In wet and windy priest-holes. Grand in vast cathedrals. High on lofty minarets or in the temples of doom. I hope the old man's got his face on. He'd better be some quick change artist. Suffer little children to make their minds up soon. Bad mouth on a prayer day, hope no one's listening. Roots down in the wet clay, branches glistening. Roots to branches. Roots to branches. Roots to branches. Roots to branches. Roots to branches. Roots to branches.
