[Bridge]
Em D Dsus2 D Dsus4 A
Sun streaking cold, an old man wandering lonely
Am Em D Dsus2 D
Taking time the only way he knows
Em D A
Leg hurting bad, as he bends to pick a dog end
Am Em D Dsus2 D Dsus4
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet
D Dsus2 D
Em D A
Feeling alone, the armies up the road
Am Em Esus4 D Dsus2 D
Salvation al-a-mode and a cup of tea
Em D A
Aqualung my friend, don't you start away uneasy

You poor old sod you see it's only me
D Dsus2 D
(picks up speed)
Em D Em
Do you still remember, Decembers foggy freeze?
Em D Em
When the ice that clings on to your beard, was screaming agony
Em D Em
And you snatch your rattling last breathes with deep-sea-diver-sounds
Am Em D Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
And the flowers bloomed like madness in the spring
Em D A
Sun streaking cold, an old man wondering lonely
A/B Am/C Em D Dsus2 D
Taking time the only way he knows
Em D A
Leg hurting bad, as he bends to pick a dog end
A/B Am/C Em D Dsus2 D
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet
D Dsus2 D
Em D A
Feeling alone, the armies up the road
Am Em D Dsus2 D
Salvation al-a-mode and a cup of tea
Em D A
Aqualung my friend, don't you start away uneasy
Am Em D
You poor old sod you see it's only me
