One Brown Mouse (Jethro Tull cover by Glenn Long) w/lyrics

DADGAD tuning. Capo on 2nd fret. Originally released from 1978 Tull album Heavy Horses. Inspired by Robbie Burns poem "To a Mouse", published in 1785.
Lyrics
Smile your little smile --- take some tea with me awhile.
Brush away that black cloud from your shoulder.
Twitch your whiskers. Feel that you're really real.
Another tea-time --- another day older.
Puff warm breath on your tiny hands.
You wish you were a man
who every day can turn another page.
Behind your glass you sit and look
at my ever-open book ---
One brown mouse sitting in a cage.
Do you wonder if I really care for you ---
Am I just the company you keep ---
Which one of us exercises on the old treadmill ---
Who hides his head, pretending to sleep?
