We Used To Know
Jethro Tull 

   Em                            B
       Whenever I get to feel this way
       D                      A
       Try to find new words to say
        C                        G
       I think about the bad old days
   F#                  B
       We used to know

       Nights of winter turn me cold
       Fears of dying, getting old
       We ran the race and the race was won
       By running slowly

       Could be soon we'll cease to sound
       Slowly upstairs, faster down
       Than to revisit stony grounds
       We used to know

       Remembering mornings, shillings spent
       Made no sense to leave the bed
       The bad old days they came and went
       Giving way to fruitful years
                   *Solo*    Verse (x8)

       Saving up the birds in hand
       While in the bush the others land
       Take what we can before the man
       Says it's time to go

       Each to his own way - I'll go mine
       Best of luck with what you find
       But for your own sake remember times
       We used to know...
                                          Em B D A G F# B (repeat)
