Back-Door Angels Lyrics

Jethro Tull: Back-Door Angels
Chords: Håkan Mattsson
Em Cmaj7 Am C (Em D Em) see below
In and out of the front door, ran twelve back-door angels. in tab
Their hair was a golden-brown ---
they didn't see me wink my eye.
`Tis said they put we men to sleep with just a whisper,
And touch the heads of dying dogs --- and make them linger.
They carry their candles high --- and they light the dark hours.
And sweep all the country clean with pressed and scented wild-flowers.
Solo (I haven't tried too hard here):
|: Em D :|: Am D :|
They grow all their roses red, and paint our skies blue ---
drop one penny in every second bowl ---
make half the beggars lose,
why do the faithful have such a will to believe in something?
And call it the name they choose,
having chosen nothing.
Solo (I haven't tried so hard here either):
|: Em D :|: Am D :|: D :|: E :|
(Something like this for "Think I'll sit down...")

Think I'll sit down and invent some fool --- some Grand Court Jester.
And next time the die is cast, he'll throw a six or two.
In and out of the back-door, ran one front-door angel,
Her hair was a golden-brown --- she smiled and I think she winked her eye.
