Jethro Tull es el nombre de una original banda de rock progresivo escocesa, que comenzó sus andaduras en 1968 y que, desde entonces, ha trabajado de forma ininterrumpida hasta el día de hoy, siendo, tras Rolling Stones (1962) y Le Orme (1966), entre otros, uno de los grupos de rock más antiguos todavía activo.
El nombre de la banda, extraño como suena, tiene un origen no menos particular. Su agente revisó libros de historia y llegó con el nombre de Jethro Tull
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Song: Moths
by Ian Anderson performed by Jethro Tull from "Heavy Horses", 1978 transcribed by Peter Eybert
[Capo 2]
F#BAC#mC#mBAC#mC#mBA
DBm The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame EmGDAGABm And the first Moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal came. DBm And a new breeze chattered in its May-bud tenderness EmEm7AGABm Sending water-lillies sailing as she turned to get undressed. DBm And the long night awakened and we soared on powdered wings EmGDA Circling our tomorrows in the wary month of Spring. DBm Chasing shadows slipping in a magic lantern slide EmAGABm Creatures of the candle on a night-light-ride. DBm Dipping and weaving - flutter through the golden needle's eye EmGDA in our haystack madness. Butterfly-stroking on a Spring-tide high, GABm oh, on a Spring-tide high.

EC#mAB Life's too long (as the Lemming said) C#mBbF#C#Ebm as the candle burned and the Moths were wed. ABEBC#m And we'll all burn together as the wick grows higher BF#C# before the candle's dead.

FDm The leaded window opened to move the dancing candle flame. GmBbFCBbCDm And the first moths of summer suicidal came, oh, suicidal game FDm to join in the worship of the light that never dies GmBbFC in a moment's reflection of two moths spinning in her eyes.
