The Aqualung album version seems to be mostly strumming, but it's almost overpowered by the piano part once that starts. On the bootleg, Anderson finger-picks it, and it sounds really nice. If you do finger-pick it, throwing in a little of the high 'e' string sounds good -- play with it and see. Am B7addE/A DmaddE/A E7/A Am e|--0-------------------------4-----0-----| Repeated twice as intro, B|-10--0------------6---------5----10-----| before piano line begins. G|--9--8------------7---------4-----9-----| Then repeated throughout D|-10--7------------7---------0----10-----| first part of each verse. A|--0--0--------0---0---------0-----0-----| See below for timing. E|----------------------------------------| Here's how it lines up with the lyrics: Am B7 Dm E7 Am Am B7 People, what have you done Dm E7 Am Am B7 Dm E7 Am Locked Him in His golden cage Am B7 Dm E7 Am Am B7 Made Him bend to your religion Dm E7 Am Am B7 Dm E7 Am B7 Dm E7 Him resurrected from the grave Part 2: Chords, all strummed: D G He is the God of nothing, C G Am B7 Dm E7 Am Am B7 Dm E7 If that's all that you can see D G You are the God of everything, C G D CaddD D ( CaddD = XX0030 ) He's inside you and me. VERSE 2: Am B7 Dm E7 Am Am B7 So lean upon Him gently Dm E7 Am And don't call on him to save Riff #1 e|--------------------------| This riff replaces the Am - B7addE/A etc. B|--------------------------| chord progression for the remainder of G|--------------------------| the verse. There are a couple of minor D|--------------------------| variations here and there, very simple. A|--7--6------5-3-----------| E|---------------5-0-3-5----| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ <-- rough idea of timing: 6/8, ^ = 1/8 (keep playing Riff #1 here ...) D C you from your social graces, and the sins you used to waive. D G The bloody Church of England, C G (Riff #1 again) in chains of history, D G requests your earthly presence C G D C D at the vicarage for tea. Solo section: (sorry for the lack of detail here, but I'm pretty lame at picking out solos note for note) Lead-in to flute solo: Chord progression is: Am E D C G (2x) Solo riff here is blues scale rooted at fret 5 through Am-E-D, then up to fret 8 at the change to C, etc. Flute solo: Background chord progression is: A E D/F# G Gregorian chant section: (No instrumental part here.) Next, repeat same chord pattern used during flute solo: A E D/F# G Then return to: Am B7 Dm E to lead in to verse 3 VERSE 3 (Same as Verse 2; start quietly, then switch to Riff #1 on "crucifix"): And the graven image you-know-who, with His plastic crucifix, Confuses me as to who and where and why, and to how He gets His kicks. Confessing to the endless sin, the endless whining sounds. You'll be praying 'til next Thursday, to all the Gods that you can count. Repeat lead-in section to flute solo (same chord pattern, different solo) End with: Am B7 Dm E7 Am B7 Dm E7 Am B7 Dm E7 Am B7
