Jethro+Tull - Mayhem+maybe

Intro:  Em  G Em  G D   [3times then]  C

        Bm A Bm  Bm A G [twice]


                   Bm                   A       D
1)      When we're working nights, the village round

                                 C
        the old church becomes scary town.

             Bm                    A      D
        All curtained windows and bolted doors

                             F
        but never an eye to see

               Bb    F            Bb      F
        as us fairy folks sweep from the hill.

                                   Bb
        Never caught us and never will.

         Eb                Gm
        Pulling roses and daffodils

                               D    F#
        mayhem in the high degree.



        Bm A Bm  Bm A G [twice]



              Bm                 A        D
2)      The blacksmith chased us all to ground.

                                         C
        They searched all night we were never found.

             Bm                   A        D
        The tinker boys and the sheriff's men

                          F
        shaking the tallest tree.

                Bb      F           Bb    F
        And we sat and watched the women hide.

                                      Bb
        Laughed so much we split our sides.

          Eb                    Gm
        Scattered horses that they would ride

                               D    F#
        mayhem in the high degree.



        Bm A Bm  Bm A G  Dm C Dm  Dm C Bb



             Dm                       C         F
3)      We crossed through fields of midnight green

                         Eb
        often heard but seldom seen.

         Dm                  C       F
        Tore along hedges,stripping leaves

                             G#
        no-one could quite agree

          C#        G#        C#       G#
        whether we came from north or south.

                                             C#
        We stole the screams from out their mouths

             F#            Bbm
        and go where no man would allow

                               F    A
        mayhem in the high degree.



        Em  G Em  G D     [twice then]  C

        Dm C Dm  Dm C Bb  [twice]



               Dm            C          F
4)      Like scaly carp and feathered swan

                              Eb
        to nature's world we do belong.

            Dm                 C       F
        We ride the thin winds of the night

                               G#
        and set dark spirits free.

            C#   G#     C#       G#
        We terrify the mare and foal.

                                         C#
        The fox stood still and far too bold.

                 F#                 Bbm
        So we strung him up, brush neatly folded;

                  F     A
        mayhem, maybe.



        Dm C Dm  Dm C Bb  [rep ad libitum]
