doc,

I found this one, but have not tried it.  I'll include it below in this post.  I'm afraid the chords and words won't come across lined up correctly, though.  If they don't, have a look at this site (http://fire.lsds.com/lsds/) and drill down or search for Jethro Tull/ Ian Anderson.

Good Luck!  - Ian

WOND'RING ALOUD by Jethro Tull

arr: Jethro Tull / Words & Music by Ian Anderson

Here are the chords, you'll have to listen to the song for the picking, as it varies from measure to measure. It is relatively complex, but well worth the effort. Or, for a quick fix, just strum softly through it. Good luck! :)

6/8 time, each chord is 1/2 measure.

C C                   Am Am         G G   D D  D D =

    Wond'ring Aloud, how we feel today?
C      C                  Am Am       G G           D D  D C D D D D
Last night set the sunset, my hand in her hair. =

C    C                 D            D      G    E
m            D     D    =
           Em   Em  G =

We are our own saviors, as we start, both our hearts, beating life
G             D    D   D D
Into each other

C C                  Am Am             G G               D D   D D =

    Wond'ring aloud,     will the years treat us well?
C              C                Am Am         G   G        D    D   D C D=
D D D
    As she floats in the kitchen, I'm tasting the smell
C      C                 D             D                G  Em            =
   D     D             Em    Em  G =

    Of toast as the butter runs, then she comes, spilling crumbs, on the bed
      G                 D    D   D D
and I shake my head

              Dm       C               G              G   Em Em          =
D
And it's only the giving that makes you,           what you are.




Bonus! These chords also work for the back 1/2 of Wond'ring Again. Lyrics follow:

We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow.
Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I've been told.
Stumbled on a daffodil, which she crushed, in the rush, heard it sigh
And left it to die.

At once felt remorse, and we're touched by the loss of our own
Held its poor broken head in her hand, dropped some tears in the snow

And it's only the taking that makes you, what you are

Wond'ring aloud, will the son one day be born
To share in our infancy, in the chance path we've worn
In the aging seclusion of this earth, that our birth did suprise
We'll open his eyes.
