CRD "Go Fishing" by Roger Waters
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.
