Jethro Tull: Thick as a brick, the whole album
Chords and tabs: Håkan Mattsson, Paco Jimenez, Paul Tarvydas.
This file is a compilation of all the separate files of parts of "Thick
as a brick", to make one file for the whole album.
For those places where we have no chord suggestions, the lyrics and
time information is still there.
I have seperated each file with a row of hash marks, so that any special
information or notation regarding a specific file, a specific part, is kept.

Jethro Tull: Thick as a brick. Track 1, beginning to 3:02
Chords/Tab: Håkan Mattsson
This tab is a bit simplified, meaning that I haven't tabbed every little
strumming and lift of fingers. In my opinion it's easier to read in this
way, when only the more difficult parts are tabbed.
In some places I have indicated where there are significant sus2's and sus4's
with "sus2/4".
I have seen many suggestions on how these first minutes are played, and this
version do not differ in any significant way from most of the others, but
some. And in my opinion it's easier to follow than many others I have seen.
(I hope I'm not the only one thinking so! :-)
Thanks to Paco Jimenez for one riff, and to Sigurd Andre Lund from Norway,
whose old tab that I found have helped me a lot.
When Ian Anderson plays the intro he shapes a D, G and then a D at the 5th fret.
He uses his pinky for the 4th and 7th fret on the A string.
Capo on 3:rd fret

The PEmoet and the painterD casting shEmadows on the water --

The dEmo-er and the thinkerD: no allEmowance for the other --
as the fDailing light illuminates the mAercenary's crBeed.
The hEmome fire burningD: the kEmettle almost boiling --
but the mDaster of the hCouse is far awAayB.
The hEmorses stamping -D- their wEmarm breath clouding
in the shDarp and frosty mCorning of the dAayB.
And the pEoet lDifts his pBen while the sDoldier shCeaths his sword.
And the yEmoungest of the fDamily is mEmoving with authDority.

The cEmattle quietly grazingD at the grEmass down by the river
where the swDelling mountain water moves Aonward to the sBea:
the bEmuilder of the castlesD renEmews the age-old purpose
and cDontemplates the milking girl whose Aoffer is his nBeed.
The yEmoung men of the householdD have Emall gone into service
and are nDot to be expCected for a yAeaBr.
The Eminnocent young master -D- thoughts mEmoving ever faster --
has fDormed the plan to chCange the man he sAeeBms.
And the pEoet shDeaths his pBen while the sDoldier lCifts his sword.
And the Emoldest of the fDamily is mEmoving with authDority.
CBoming from acrCoss the sea, he chAallenges the sCon
who pGuts him to the rBbun.
