Date: Tue, 18 May 1993 11:41:36 -0400 (EDT) From: shankar@thor.ece.uc.edu (V. Shankar) Subject: From A Deadbeat to an old Greaser (crd) (Not in ftp.nevada.edu archives. -ds) 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. ============================================================= ======= later, V.
