Roger Waters - 4.50 AM (Go Fishing)
Added to UG By Mikhailo (mikhailo_@mail.ru)
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
G
To reach for the pie in the sky
Cm
Go fishing my boy!
Bsus4 B Cdim Bsus4 B Em C D
Bsus4
We set out in the spring
D
With a trunk full of books about everything
Bsus4
About solar devices
D
And how nice natural childbirth is
Cdim
We cut down some trees
And we trailed our ideals
Bsus4 B
Through the forest glade
Cdim
We dammed up the stream
And the kids cooled their heels
Bsus4 B
In the fishing pool we'd made
Em Em/D
We held hands and we exchanged bands
C D
And we practically lived off the land
Bsus4
You adopted a fox cub
D
Whose mother was somebody's coat
Bsus4
You fed him by hand
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/roger-waters/32600.html ]
And then snuggled him down
D
In the grandfather bed while I wrote
Cdim
We grew our own maize
Bsus4
And I only occasionally went into town
Cdim
To stock up on antibiotics
Bsus4 B
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around
Em Em/D
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
C D
And the sun went down sooner each day.
G
*Chapter six in which Eeyore has a birthday
C
And gets two presents
D G
Daddy...come on dad
Eeyore the old grey donkey stood by the side
C
Of the stream and he looked at himself in the water
D
"Pathetic" he said, "That's what it is"
Bsus4 B D
"Good morning Eeyore" said Pooh
Cdim Bsus4 B
"Oh" said Pooh, He thought for a long time
Bsus4
Then the leaves all fell down
Our crops all turned brown
D
It was over
Bsus4
As the first snowflakes fell
D
I realized all was not well in the camp
Cdim
The kids caught bronchitis
Bsus4 B
The space heater ran out of diesel
Cdim
One weekend a friend from the East,
Bsus4 B
Rot his soul, stole your heart
Em
I said "Fuck it then
Em/D
Take the kids back to town
C D
Maybe I'll see you around"
G C D G Am7 G C G/B
Am7 G
And so...leaving all our hopes and dreams
C Am7 D
To the wind and the rain
G
Taking only our stash
Am7 G
Left our litter and trash
C
And set out on the road again
G/B Am7 G
On the road again
C
On the road again
D G Em
On the road
Bye Bye Daddy, Bye Daddy
Em
You can bring Pearl she's a darn nice girl
But don't bring Liza
