Sit-ting on a park bench - eye-ing lit-tle girls - with bad in-tent
Snot is runnig down his nose -greassy fingers smearing - shabby clothes- Hey Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun - watching as the frilly - panties run - Hey Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck - spitting out pieces of - his broken luck - Oh Aqualung
Verse on Accoustic:
Em D A
Sun streaking cold an old man wandring lonely,
Am Em D
taking time the only way he knows.
Em D A
Legs hurting bad as he bends to pick a dog end .
Am Em D
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet.
Em D A
Feeling alone the army's up the road,
Am Em D
salvation a la mode and a cup of tea.
Em D A
Aqualung my friend, don't you start away uneasy.
Am Em D
You poor old sod see it's only me.
(faster and heavier)
Em D Em
Do you still remember,Decembers foggy freeze
D
when the ice that clings onto your beard
Em
was screaming agony?
D Em]
And your ratling last breaths with deepseadiver sounds
Am Em D]
and the flowers bloom like madness in the spring.
