Jethro Tull

Flying Dutchman

by Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull

Biography:

Jethro Tull is a progressive rock / folk rock band which formed in Blackpool, Lancashire, England in 1967. Their music is marked by the initially soulful and bluesy, and later expressively idiosyncratic, vocal style and unique lead flute work of frontman Ian Anderson, and their notable guitarist Martin Barre. Their songs feature unusual and often complex construction, incorporating elements of classical and celtic folk music, as well as art rock and alternative rock.

Jethro Tull: Flying Dutchman
Album: Stormwatch
Chords: Håkan Mattsson
Piano intro

Em D repeatedly

Em D Cmaj7 D
Old lady with a barrow; life near ending
Em D Cmaj7 D
Standing by the harbour wall; warm wishes sending
Am D
children on the cold sea swell ---
F G D
not fishers of men ---
Am D G Em
gone to chase away the last herring:
Am G D
come empty home again.
F G
So come all you lovers of the good life
F G D
on your supermarket run ---
F G
Set a sail of your own devising
C G D
and be there when the Dutchman comes,
Am G D B
you'd better be there when the Dutchman comes.

Em D...

Em D Cmaj7 D
Wee girl in a straw hat: from far east warring
Em D Cmaj7 D
Sad cargo of an old ship: young bodies whoring
Am D
Slow ocean hobo ---
F G D
ports closed to her crew
Am D G Em
No hope of immigration ---
Am G D
keep on passing through.
F G
So come all you lovers of the good life
F G D
your children playing in the sun ---
F G
Set a sympathetic flag a-flying
C G D
and be there when the Dutchman comes,
Am G D B
you'd better be there when the Dutchman comes.

Instrumental:
Am Em D x4
D C D x5 (?)


Em D Cmaj7 D
Death grinning like a scarecrow --- Flying Dutchman
Em D Cmaj7 D
Seagull pilots flown from nowhere --- try and touch one
Am D
as she slips in on the full tide
F G D
and the harbour-master yells
Am D G Em
All hands vanished with the captain ---
Am G D
no one left, the tale to tell.
F G
So come all you lovers of the good life
F G D
Look around you, can you see?
F G
Staring ghostly in the mirror ---
C G D
it's the Dutchman you will be
Am G D
..floating slowly out to sea
C
in a misty misery.

Em D repeatedly

End:
C G A A Em
