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.

Here are the chords for a great Tull song that don`t exist yet for some reason.
Now they do and you can go play it.
The chords might not be exactly above the proper words but you`re smart and know where they go.
Em C Em C
Nine miles of two-strand topped with barbed wire
C D Em
Laid by the father for the son.
Em C Em C
Good shelter down there on the valley floor,
C D Em
Down by where the sweet stream run.
C D (Am G) Em
Now they might give me compensation
F Em F C Em C
That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday.
Em C Em C
Now all I have got is a cheque and a pickup truck.
C D
I left my farm on the freeway.
Repeat that for the rest of the song.
They're busy building airports on the south side…
Silicon chip factory on the east.
And the big road's pushing through along the valley floor.
Hot machine pouring six lanes at the very least.
They say they gave me compensation
That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday.
Now all I have left is a broken-down pickup truck.
Looks like my farm is a freeway.
They forgot they told us what this old land was for.
Grow two tons the acre, boy, between the stones.
This was no Southfork, it was no Ponderosa.
But it was the place that I called home.
They say they gave me compensation
That's not what I'm chasing. I was a rich man before yesterday.
And what do I want with a million dollars and a pickup truck?
When I left my farm under the freeway.
Have fun.
Now they do and you can go play it.
