  Jethro Tull: Back-Door Angels 
  Album: Warchild 
  Chords: Håkan Mattsson 
  
  Em                           Cmaj7    Am       C       (Em D Em) see below 
  In and out of the front door, ran twelve back-door angels.        in tab 
    C    D          G       C     Am 
  Their hair was a golden-brown --- 
    Am                D           D B Em 
  they didn't see me wink my eye. 
  Em                                  D            C    (Em D Em) 
  `Tis said they put we men to sleep with just a whisper, 
  C    D                  G     C    Am                D      D B Em 
  And touch the heads of dying dogs --- and make them linger. 
    Em                           D                      C        (Em D Em) 
  They carry their candles high --- and they light the dark hours. 
  C     D            G        C  Am                          D 
  And sweep all the country clean  with pressed and scented wild-flowers. 
  
  Solo (I haven't tried too hard here):

  Em                           Cmaj7     Am         C           (Em D Em) 
  They grow all their roses red,    and paint our skies blue --- 
    C       D       G      C      Am 
  drop one penny in every second bowl --- 
   Am            D           D B Em 
  make half the beggars lose, 
    Em                                D               C       (Em D Em) 
  why do the faithful have such a will to believe in something? 
  C    D           G           C    Am 
  And call it the name they choose, 
  Am             D        D B Em 
  having chosen nothing. 
  
  Solo (I haven't tried so hard here either): 
  |: Em D :|: Am D :|: D :|: E :|

  In and out of the back-door, ran one front-door angel, 
  Her hair was a golden-brown --- she smiled and I think she winked her eye.
