We Used To Know - Jethro Tull

We Used To Know by Jethro Tull (1969).

Whenever I get to feel this way
Hard to find new words to say
I think about the bad old days
We used to know

Nights of winter turn me cold
Fears of dying, getting old
We ran the race, the race was won
By running slowly

Could be soon we'll cease to sound
Slowly upstairs, faster down
Then to revisit stony grounds
We used to know

Remembering mornings, shillings spent
Made no sense to leave the bed
The bad old days they came and went
Giving way to fruitful years

Saving up the birds in hand
While in the bush the others land
Take what we can before the man
Says its time to go

Each to his own way, I'll go mine
Best of luck with what you find
But for your own sake remember times
We used to know

Eagle stole this song !

[hayzeephantayzee]

90% of pop and rock songs are based on the same chord progressions, but this is still a rip off. even down to the vocal melody.

wow... how can anyone not hear that? this is crazy

[Milewskige]

@saradisper Obviously, when someone can't argue with logic, they resort to name calling & profanity. Also, get a dictionary!

[saradisper]

@Milewskige and the solo quitar is close, come on theu stole this nad go fuck your self

[Milewskige]

@manuelmba The two songs don't even share the whole chord progression, just the first couple bars. There are many songs that share chord progressions.
