Jethro Tull é uma banda de rock formada em Blackpool em 1967. Sua música é caracterizada pelas letras, o estilo vocal cheio de maneirismos e o trabalho único na flauta de seu líder Ian Anderson, além de uma complexa e pouco usual construção musical. Inicialmente calcado no estilo blues rock, o Jethro Tull eventualmente incorporou a seu som elementos de música clássica, folk, jazz, hard rock e art rock. A banda vendeu mais de 60 milhões de discos ao redor do mundo.

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.
