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.

Em D Em
There was a little boy stood on a burning log,
G D Bm B7
rubbing his hands with glee
G D
He said, ``Oh Mother England,
Em A Am C D B7
did you light my smile; or did you light this fire under me?
G D Em
One day I'll be a minstrel in the gallery
G D B7
And paint you a picture of the queen
G D Em A Am
And if sometimes I sing to a cynical degree ---
Am C D B7
it's just the nonsense that it seems.''
G D Em
So I drift down through the Baker Street valley,
G D B7
in my steep-sided un-reality
G D
And when all is said and all is done I couldn't wish
Em A
for a better one
Am C D B7
It's a real-life ripe dead certainty
N.C
that I'm just a Baker Street Muse
