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: (add9)
We set out in the Spring =
With a trunkful of books about everything.
About solar devices
And how nice natural childbirth is. Cmaj7/E We cut down some trees and trailed our ideals
Through the forest glade. Cmaj7/E We dammed up the stream and the kids cooled their heels
In the fishing pool we made.
We held hands and we exchanged bands
And we practically lived off the land.
You adopted a fox cub
Whose mother was somebody's coat.
You fed him by hand, then snuggled him down
In the grandfather bed, while I wrote. Cmaj7/E And we grew our own maize
And I only occasionally went into town Cmaj7/E To stock up on antibiotics
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around.
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
And the sun went down sooner each day.
Bridge:
