Here's the lyrics.

She peeled from a stretch black snake
which slipped up from the hotel door.
Darting looks from piercing eyes -
The stir of memory and then no more.
Well, you know how I have to believe -
She can almost remember my name.

(Chorus)
It's been a long time coming, babe -
Long time loose amongst foreign hills -
Shaking my faith in this free will.

Years ago in a coastal town,
mosquitoes buzzed in her hair.
Schooldress torn and bare feet brown -
Then the rains came and she wasn't there.
You're closing your doors on me
when you had almost remembered my name.

It's been a long time coming, babe -
Long time loose amongst foreign hills -
Shaking my faith in this free will.

Sharp points in an ink-black sky -
Faint words collide, then are lost.
I'll follow you beneath this dome -
Win you back at any cost.
I know we were children then,
but you can almost remember me name.

It's been a long time coming, babe -
Long time loss amongst foreign hills -
Well, let's be children, still -
Don't shake my faith in this free will.

Don't shake my faith in this free will.

With those lyrics I have just wasted 
all your printer ink.  Sorry, but I had to put
them on this.
I think the lyric's starting progression
is E--F#m and that's all I can figure out.
So if you know the rest of the chords, please tell me.

Video This Free Will

Jethro Tull - This Free Will
Another awesome track from the Roots To Branches album in 1995.

Jethro Tull - My God (Live)
READ: While you may be free to dislike something, unless you comment intelligently and without the use of profanity your comment will be removed. To everyone else: Don't reply to the provoking comments unless you want yours to be removed as well. From the DVD: Nothing Is Easy 'Live at the Isle Of Wight 1970' One of the greatest bands in my opinion. Enjoy.

Jethro Tull- Another Harry's Bar
Wet wind on the sidewalk: I'm staring at the rain. Walking up the street, yeah, and walking down again. And my feet are tired and my brain is numb. See that broken neon sign saying, hey, in you come. Got the scent of stale beer hanging, hanging round my head. Old dog in the corner sleeping like he could be dead. A book of matches and a full ashtray. Cigarette left smoking its life away. Another Harry's bar -- or that's the tale they tell. But Harry's long gone now, and the customers as well. Me and the dog and the ghost of Harry will make this world turn right. It'll all turn right. God's tears on the sidewalk: it's the mother of all rain. But in the thick blue haze of Harry's, you will feel no pain. And you will feel no soft hand slipping on your knee. You don't have to pay for memories, they will all come free. Another Harry's bar -- or that's the tale they tell. But Harry's long gone now, and the customers as well. Me and the dog and the ghost of Harry will make this world turn right. It'll all turn right. Now when Harry was a young man, Harry was so debonair. He walked a bouncy step in his shiny shoes. And when Harry was a young man, well, Harry could walk on air. He mixed a mean cocktail and he talked you through the late news. You want to hear some great news? Harry's still here. Wet wind on the sidewalk: I'm still staring at the rain. Walking up the street, and I'm walking down again. And my feet are tired and my brain is numb. See that broken neon sign saying, hey ...

Jethro Tull - Dharma For One (Live)
Dharma For One (Live ) Living In The Past / Studio Version - "This Was" (1968) Jethro Tull [Introduction:] She's really turned on by the television, and vice versa. Here's a song called... Yes, right. Rearranged though, nevertheless. A new lease on life. In other words, it's just a bit louder. ``Dharma For One''. [Lyrics:] Dharma, seek and you will find truth within your mind, Dharma. Dharma, each to his own we say, together we'll end astray, Dharma. Truth is like freedom, it doesn't fool me. Be true to yourself, never think that you're free. Dharma will come eventually.

Jethro Tull - At Last Forever
A beautiful track off of the Roots To Branches album. This is my first Tull video in quite some time, also this a request for tobytyke4. Lyrics - So why are you holding my hand tonight? I'm not intending to go far away. I'm just slipping through to the back room - I'll leave you messages almost every day. And who was I to last forever? I didn't promise to stay the pace. Not in this lifetime, babe but we'll cling together: some kind of heaven written in your face. So why are you holding my hand tonight? Well, am I feeling so cold to the touch? Do my eyes seem to focus on some distant point? Why do I find it hard to talk too much? And who was I to last forever? I didn't promise to stay the pace. Not in this lifetime, babe but we'll cling together: some kind of heaven written in your face. So why are you holding my hand tonight? I'm not intending to go far away. I'm just slipping through to the back room I'll leave you messages almost every day. And who was I to last forever? I didn't promise to stay the pace. Not in this lifetime, babe but we'll cling together: some kind of heaven written in your face. This delicate song is about dying before ones domestic partner, a last goodbye. Our narrator assures his love that the approaching death cannot make an end to the bond between them: "Not in this lifetime, babe, but we'll cling together: some kind of heaven written in your face" and that he will stay close to her: "I'm not intending to go far away. I'm just slipping through to ...
