Jethro Tull: A Small Cigar

Chords: Håkan Mattsson

Capo on third fret

D D7 Gm A

A small cigar can change the world

D D7

I know, I've done it frequently at parties

Gm A

Where I've won all the guests' attention

D D7 Gm A

With my generosity and suave gentlemanly bearing

D D7

A little flat tin case is all you need

Gm Asus4 A

Breast-pocket conversation opener

D D7

And one of those ciggie lighters that look rather good

Gm Asus4 A

You can throw away when empty

D D7

Must be declared a great success

Gm Bb D B

My small cigars all vanish within minutes

Am* (An Am with lifted

Em Am Am* e 0 index finger)

Excuse me, mine host, that I may visit B 0

G D G 2

A nearby tobacconist D 2

Em Am Am* A 0

To replenish my supply of small cigars E -

G B

And make the party swing again

D D7

I know my clothes seem shabby

Gm A

And don't fit this Hampstead soiree

D

Where unread copies of Rolling Stone

D7

Well-thumbed Playboys

Gm A

Decorate the hi-fi stereo record shelves

D D7

If you ask me they're on their way

Gm Asus4 A

To upper-middle-class oblivion

D D7

The stupid twits, they roll their only

Gm Asus4 A

One cigarette between them

D D7

My small cigar's redundant now

Gm Bb

In the haze of smoking pleasure

D D7

Call it a day, get the hell away

Gm Bb D B

Go down the cafe, for a cup of real tea

Em Am Am*

By the tube station, there's a drunk old fool

G D

Who sells papers in the rush hour

Em Am Am*

I hand to him ten small cigars

G B

He smiles, says, ``Son, God bless you''

D C

A small cigar has changed his world, my friend

D C

A small cigar has changed the world again

Piano, repeated

Dsus4 D C ... G Bb Asus4 A Asus2 A
