Roger Waters - 4.50 AM (Go Fishing)
Added to UG By Mikhailo ([email protected])
As cars go by I cast my mind's eye
Over back packs on roof racks
Beyond the horizon
Where dream makers
Working white plastic processors
Invite the unwary
To r[G]each for the pie in the sky
Go fishing my boy![Cm]
[Bsus4] [B] [Cdim] [Bsus4] [B] [Em] [C] [D]
We set[Bsus4] out in the spring
With a trunk full of books about [D]everything
About [Bsus4]solar devices
And how nice natural ch[D]ildbirth is
We [Cdim]cut down some trees
And we trailed our ideals
Through the [Bsus4]forest glade[B]
We [Cdim]dammed up the stream
And the kids cooled their heels
In the [Bsus4]fishing pool we'd made[B]
[Em] We held hands and we[Em/D] exchanged bands
And we pr[C]actically lived off the l[D]and
You a[Bsus4]dopted a fox cub
Whose mother was somebody's c[D]oat
You[Bsus4] fed him by hand
And then snuggled him down
In the gr[D]andfather bed while I wrote
We [Cdim]grew our own maize
And I only occasionally [Bsus4]went into town
To s[Cdim]tock up on antibiotics
And shells for the s[Bsus4]hotgun that I kept ar[B]ound
I t[Em]old the kids stories while[Em/D] you worked your loom
And the s[C]un went down sooner each d[D]ay.
[G] Chapter six in which Eeyore has a birthday
A[C]nd gets two presents
Daddy.[D]..co[G]me on dad
Eeyore the old grey donkey stood by the side
Of the str[C]eam and he looked at himself in the water
"Pathetic" he said, "Th[D]at's what it is"
[Bsus4] [B] "Go[D]od morning Eeyore" said Pooh
[Cdim] [Bsus4]"Oh" said Pooh, He thought for a long time[B]
Then the [Bsus4]leaves all fell down
Our crops all turned brown
It was [D]over
As the [Bsus4]first snowflakes fell
I realized all was not w[D]ell in the camp
The [Cdim]kids caught bronchitis
The space heater ran out of [Bsus4]diesel[B]
One w[Cdim]eekend a friend from the East,
Rot his soul, stole your [Bsus4]heart[B]
I said [Em] "Fuck it then
Take the [Em/D]kids back to town
M[C]aybe I'll see you ar[D]ound"
[G] [C] [D] [G] [Am7] [G] [C] [G/B]
[Am7] And so...le[G]aving all our hopes and dreams
To the w[C]ind and the [Am7]rain[D]
Taking [G]only our stash
Left our [Am7]litter and tr[G]ash
And s[C]et out on the road again
[G/B] On the [Am7]road ag[G]ain
On the road again[C]
On the r[D]oa[G]d [Em]
Bye Bye Daddy, Bye Daddy
[Em]You can bring Pearl she's a darn nice girl
But don't bring Liza
