'Moths' by Jethro Tull - Guitar Tutorial

            Capo 2

F# B A C#m C#m B A C#m C#m B A

D Bm
The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame
Em G D A G A Bm
And the first Moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal came.
D Bm
And a new breeze chattered in its May-bud tenderness
Em Em7 A G A Bm
Sending water-lillies sailing as she turned to get undressed.
D Bm
And the long night awakened and we soared on powdered wings
Em G D A
Circling our tomorrows in the wary month of Spring.
D Bm
Chasing shadows slipping in a magic lantern slide
Em A G A Bm
Creatures of the candle on a night-light-ride.
D Bm
Dipping and weaving - flutter through the golden needle's eye
Em G D A
in our haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking on a Spring-tide high,
G A Bm
oh, on a Spring-tide high.

C#m C#m B A C#m C#m B A

E C#m A B
Life's too long (as the Lemming said)
C#m Bb F# C# Ebm
as the candle burned and the Moths were wed.
A B E B C#m
And we'll all burn together as the wick grows higher
B F# C#
before the candle's dead.

D Bm
Em G D A G A Bm

F Dm
The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame.
Gm Bb F C Bb C Dm
And the first moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal game
F Dm
to join in the worship of the light that never dies
Gm Bb F C
in a moment's reflection of two moths spinning in her eyes.
