Thick as a Brick Chords by Jethro Tull

[Start]

[Verse]
C Bb F                          Bb           F   Bb
■ ■  ■ Really don't mind if you sit this one out ■ 
F Bb F                                           
■ ■  My words but a whisper your deafness a shout
               C          Bb             F     Bb
I may make you feel but I can't make you think ■ 
F Bb F                                         Bbmaj7   C
■ ■  Your sperm's in the gutter your love's in the sink ■
Bb                        C        F         
■  So you ride yourselves over the fields and
Bb           C           F        
You make all your animal deals and
Bb                  C           F     C
Your wise men don't know how it feels ■
                 C    
To be thick as a brick
F C F C F
■ ■ ■ ■ ■
                   C           Bb        F    Bbmaj7 F Bb   
And the sandcastle virtues are all swept away ■      ■ ■  in
    F     C                     F    
The tidal destruction the moral melee
Dm F                             Bb       F   
■  The elastic retreat rings the close of play
                 C                       F  
As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way


[Chorus]
         Bb            C           F        
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
Bb               C       F       
Your suntan does rapidly peel and
Bb                  C        F  C    
Your wise men don't know how it feels
                       Gm7 C
To be thick as a brick ■   ■
F                     C    Eb           Gm  
■ And the love that I feel ■  is so far away
Bb                                 F     A7 Bb        
■  I'm a bad dream that I just had today ■  ■  and you
                C  
Shake your head and
                 Bb
Say it's a shame ■ 


[Verse]
                      F7   
Spin me back down the years
        F7              
And the days of my youth
                        F7      
Draw the lace and black curtains
    F7                      
And shut out the whole truth
                                                  Fm7 F7
Spin me down the long ages let them sing the song ■   ■
