Jehtro Tull - Skating Away
D# - Capo: III
Intro
C G F A Mean while back in the year one C G F A When you belonged to no one C G F A You didn´t stand a chance son C G F D Dsus4 D If your pants were undone
D G
´Cause you were bred for humanity
D Dsus4 G
And sold to society
D G
One day you´ll wake up: in the present days
Csus4 Bb
A million generations, removed from expectation of,
D G A Asus4 A
being who you really want to be
Chorus 1
G D
Skating away
G D
Skating away
G D
Skating away
G C G C D Dsus4 D
On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
G D
So as you push off from the shore,
A Asus4 A
won t you turn your head once more;
D Dsus4 D G
and make your peace with everyone?
D A Asus4 A
For those who choose to stay, will live just one more day
D Dsus4 D G
To do the things they should have done
G
And as you cross the wilderness,
Em G D Dsus4 D G
a spinning in your emptiness you feel you have to pray
G Em G
Looking for a sign, that the universal mind,
D G A Asus4 A
has written you into the passion play
Chorus 2

G C G C D Dsus4 D
On the thin ice of a new day ay ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
G D
And as you cross the circle line,
A Asus4 A
well the ice wall creaks behind;
D Dsus4 D G
you re a rabbit on the run
D A Asus4 A
And silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye
D
Shining in the setting sun
G Em
Well do you ever get to feeling,
G Em D Dsus4 D
that the story s too damn real, and in the present tense
G Em
Or that everybody s on the stage,
G Em D G A Asus4 A
and it seems like you re the only, person sitting in the audience?
