  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.
