    Acustic guitar (Capo at III)

    (just the Chords ... lift some of your fingers now and then and do some
    finger-picking to get the right I.A. sound)
  •  
    e- D A
    Sun streaking cold an old man wandring lonely,
  • a- e- D
    taking time the only way he knows.
    e- D A
  • Legs hurting bad as he bends to pick a dog end .
    a- e- D
    He goes down to the bog and warms his feet.

    e- D A
    Feeling alone the army's up the road,

  • Aqualung my friend, don't you start away uneasy.
    a- e- F
    You poor old sod see it's only me.

    (faster and heavier)
  • e- D e-
    Do you still remember Decembers foggy freeze
    D
  • when the ice that clings onto your beard
    e-
    was screaming agony?
  • D e-
    And your ratling last breaths with deepseadiver sounds
    a- D
  • and the flowers bloom like madness in the spring.
     
     
  • (G-pentatonic guitar solo)
     
    ... reapeat something of the beginning
  •  
    Ok, well the beginning riff and rythm of Aqalung is fairly easy to
    figure out, and the acoustic part in the middle isn't really hard
  • either, but the solo is a bit difficult, I got the first few bars down
    to what I think is right, but I'm going to post all of what I know,
    and since just about every guitarist in the world knows this song, I
  • would appreciate it if you would post your versions of parts to the
    song if they are different than the ones here, especially the solo.
    So, this isn't really a request for the song I just want to know how
  • other people play it.
     
    Opening riff:
  • "Sitting on the park bench..."
    e:-
    B:-
  • G:-
    D:-
    A:--5--------3--4~--3--------
  • E:-----3--6------------------
     
    Verse rythm section: (play 3 string power chords)
  •  
    "Eyeing little girls with bad intent..."
    Db Db Db Eb Eb Eb F F F Eb F Eb F Gb Db
  •  
    "Hey, Aqalung"
    Eb Eb Eb Db Gb Gb E B D
  •  
    I'm pretty sure everyone can do without tab here
     
  • Acoustic Part (Slow):
     
    "Sun streaking cold, an old man..."
  • Gm Gm F F F F C C Cm Cm Gm Gm F F F F
     
    Here occasionally hammer the 2nd and 3rd frets on the G string
  • while playing the F chords.
     
    Acoustic Part (Faster):
  •  
    "I still remember..."
    Gm F F F F Gm Gm Gm
  •  
    "Taking time the only time he knows..."
    Gm Gm F F F F Cm Cm Gm Gm F F F F
