Slow Marching Band Lyrics

by Jethro Tull
on Broadsword and The Beastie
Intro:
G B7 Em Em /// (hard fast strikes)
A D D, A D D, A G...D->
Would you join a slow marching band?
And take pleasure in your leaving
as the ferry sails and tears are dried
and cows come home at evening.
Could you get behind a slow marching band?
And join together in the passing
of all we shared through yesterdays
in sorrows neverlasting.
Take a hand and take a bow.
You played for me; that's all for now,
oh, and never mind the words
just hum along and keep on going.
Walk on slowly -
don't look behind you.
Don't say goodbye, love.
I won't remind you.
Dream of me as the nights draw cold
still marking time through Winter.
You paid the piper and called the tune
and you marched the band aw - ay.
Take a hand and take a bow.
You played for me; that's all for now,
oh, and never mind the words
just hum along and keep on going.
Walk on slowly -
don't look behind you.
Don't say goodbye, love.
I won't remind you.
REPEAT CHORUS
Walk on slowly -
don't look behind you.
Don't say goodbye, love.
I won't remind you.
remind you.
remind you....
