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.

Also, I toggle to Dadd9 and back for all my end-of-the-verse Ds, to great
This is my first submission. Ideas, comments, etc, let's talk about it
Bm7We set out in the Spring =
With a tDrunkful of books about everything.
And hoDw nice natural childbirth is.
Cmaj7/EWe cut down some trees and trailed our ideals
ThB7rough the forest glade.
Cmaj7/EWe dammed up the stream and the kids cooled their heels
In B7the fishing pool we made.
EmWe held Em7hands and we exchanged bands
AnCd we Cmaj7practicaDlly lived off the land.
Whose moDther was somebody's coat.
Bm7You fed him by hand, then snuggled him down
In the Dgrandfather bed, while I wrote.
Cmaj7/EAnd we grew our own maize
And B7I only occasionally went into town
Cmaj7/ETo stock up on antibiotics
And B7shells for the shotgun that I kept around.
EmI told Em7the kids stories while you worked your loom
And Cthe suCmaj7n went dowDn sooner each day.

Bm7Then the leaves all fell down,
And the crDops all turned brown. It was over.
Bm7As the first snowflakes fell
I realizDed all was not well in the camp.
Cmaj7/EThe kids caught bronchitis,
The spacB7e heater ran out of diesel,
One Cmaj7/Eweekend a friend from the east
(Rot hB7is soul) stole your heart.
EmI said, =Em7D2Fuck it then, take the kids back to town,
CMaybe ICmaj7'll see DyoDadd9u around.=D3
G Em7/F# Em Em7 C Cmaj7 D Dadd9 (2x)
AnGd so Em7/F#leaving Emall ouEm7r hopes and dreams
To the wind and the rain,
Left Emour lEm7itter and trash
