Go Fishing from Roger Waters

The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking

Transcribed by D. Nadelberg

The album version is very densely arranged and orchistrated, so this is not

ecessarily a very pared down approximation I worked out for acoustic. No

sound effects or talking, I=D5m afraid. I have tried to compensate.

In the progression which begins with the G, hitting all those chords nice

and hard and letting them ring out makes them sound a bit like bells.

Play it just like the crashing progression from In the Flesh off The

Wall.

Also, I toggle to Dadd9 and back for all my end-of-the-verse Ds, to great

effect.

This is my first submission. Ideas, comments, etc, let's talk about it

Intro:

Em Em7 C D (Dadd9)

Bm7

We set out in the Spring =

D

With a trunkful of books about everything.

Bm7

About solar devices

D

And how nice natural childbirth is.

Cmaj7/E

We cut down some trees and trailed our ideals

B7

Through the forest glade.

Cmaj7/E

We dammed up the stream and the kids cooled their heels

B7

In the fishing pool we made.

Em Em7

We held hands and we exchanged bands

C Cmaj7 D

And we practically lived off the land.

Bm7

You adopted a fox cub

D

Whose mother was somebody's coat.

Bm7

You fed him by hand, then snuggled him down

D

In the grandfather bed, while I wrote.

Cmaj7/E

And we grew our own maize

B7

And I only occasionally went into town

Cmaj7/E

To stock up on antibiotics

B7

And shells for the shotgun that I kept around.

Em Em7

I told the kids stories while you worked your loom

C Cmaj7 D

And the sun went down sooner each day.

Bridge:

G Em7/F# Em Em7 C Cmaj7 D Dadd9 (2x)

Bm7 D (2x)

Cmaj7/E B7 (2x)

Bm7

Then the leaves all fell down,

D

And the crops all turned brown. It was over.

Bm7

As the first snowflakes fell

D

I realized all was not well in the camp.

Cmaj7/E

The kids caught bronchitis,

B7

The space heater ran out of diesel,

Cmaj7/E

One weekend a friend from the east

B7

(Rot his soul) stole your heart.

Em Em7

I said, =D2Fuck it then, take the kids back to town,

C Cmaj7 D Dadd9

Maybe I'll see you around.=D3

G Em7/F# Em Em7 C Cmaj7 D Dadd9 (2x)

G Em7/F# Em Em7

And so leaving all our hopes and dreams

C Cmaj7 D =

To the wind and the rain,

Dadd9 G Em7/F# =

Taking only our stash,

Em Em7

Left our litter and trash

C Cmaj7

And set out =

D Dadd9 G (etc. to fade)

On the road again.

Bm7 xx0202

Dadd9 xx0230

Cmaj7/E 032000

B7 x01202

Em7/F# 2200xx

Em7 020000
