Jethro Tull

I Dont Want To Be Me

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.

I Don’t Want To Be Me
by Jethro Tull


Intro:
Am ' ' Am/B C ' C/G ' repeat 3 times F ' ' ' ' ' ' ' G A

Bm D
Got a grand house out in the country.
Bm D
Marble pillars holding the door.
Em G D A
Empty bottles lining the wall from the night before.
Bm D
Got a Roller out in the garage.
Bm D
But the wheels are stuck to the floor.
Em G D A
Got no reason to go anywhere -- no friends call anymore.

Bm D Bm D
I don't want to be me, I don't want to be me,
G Em G A
I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.

Bm D
Had me playing down at the palace.
Bm D
I was declared the belle of the ball.
Em G
Made the boys take my goods and chattels away --
D A
now I'm staring at an empty hall.

Bm D Bm D
I don't want to be me, I don't want to be me,
G Em G A
I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.

Am C Am
Pardon me -- I'm on my way.
Am C Am
Pardon me but I'm going.
Am C Am F G Am
Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing.
Am C Am
I'm going to ride the ragged road
Am C Am
diamond spurs jangling into the sunset.
Am C Am F G Am
No circuits running overload -- Well maybe I'm not done yet.

Bm D
Now there's nothing left in the cupboard
Bm D
and three bears' been eating my soup.
Em G D A
My life is one big critical mess if you take a look.
Bm D
And the butler's off in Ibiza --
Bm D
on expense account gone berserk.
Em G D A
But I can't check out of this crazy world without being a jerk.

Bm D Bm D
I don't want to be me, I don't want to be me,
G Em G A
I know it's hard to see, but I don't want to be me.

Am C Am
Pardon me -- I'm on my way.
Am C Am
Pardon me but I'm going.
Am C Am F G Am
Taking on the simple life and I feel the grass roots growing.
Am C Am
I'm going to ride the ragged road
Am C Am
diamond spurs jangling into the sunset.
Am C Am F G Am
No circuits running overload -- Well maybe I'm not done yet.
F G D
Well maybe I'm not done yet.
