C F C F C Dm Em G G+ Am Apparently they were travelling abroad

Hello

4.33 AM Running Shoes
Am So I stood by the roadside
The soles of my r F unning shoes gripping the tarmac
Like gunmetal m Am agnets F
F Am ixed on the front of her Fassbinder face
Was the k F ind of a smile
That only a rather dull c Am hild could have drawn
While attempting a graveyard in the m F oonlight
B Am ut she was impressed
You could see that she thought I looked f F ine
And w Am hen she turned sweeter
The reason (between you and m F e) was
She'd just seen my green Lamborg Am hini F
So we w C ent for a spin in the c Am ountry
To f C eel the wind in our h Am air
To f C eel the power of my Am engine
C Am C Am C...
To feel the thrill of desire
And th F en in the trees I h C eard a twig snap
W F arning lights flashed on my m C ap
I F opened my eyes and t C o my surpr F ise

Go Fishing
As cars go by I cast my mind's eye

Invite the unwary

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.

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

The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking
Intro: A A G G C Am D D G G
An Dm angel on a Harley
Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling st Am one
Puts his Dm bike up on it's stand
Leans back and then extends
A scarred and greasy Am hand...he said
G How ya doin bro?...where ya been?...where ya g C oin'? Am
Then he t D akes your hand
In some strange Californian handshake
And breaks the b G one
Have a nice day
A h Dm ousewife from Encino
Whose husband's on the golf course
With his b Am ook of rules
Br Dm eaks and makes a 'U' and idles back
To take a second look at y Am ou
G You flex your rod
Fish takes the h C ook Am
Sweet v D odka and tobacco in her breath
G Another number in your little black book
C These are the pros and cons of Em hitchhiking
C These are the pros and cons of h Em itchhiking
D Oh babe, I must be dr G eaming
I'm st Dm anding on the leading edge
The Eastern seaboard spread before my Am eyes
"J Dm ump" says Yoko Ono
"I'm too scared and too good looking" I cr Am ied
" G Go on", she says
"Why don't you give it a t C ry? Am
W D hy prolong the agony all men must d G ie"
Dm Do you remember Dick Tracy?
Do you remember S Am hane?
And mother wants you
Could you s Dm ee him selling tickets
Where the buzzard circles over (S Am hane)
The body on the plain
Did you G understand the music Yoko
Or was it all in v C ain? (Shane) Am
The b D itch said something mystical "Herro"
So I st G epped back on the kerb again
C These are the pros and cons of h Em itchhiking
C These are the pros and cons of h Em itchhiking
D Oh babe, I must be dr G eaming again
C Em (repeat and fade)
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Every Strangers Eyes
H C ello...you wanna cup of coffee?
I'm s Dm orry, would you like a cup of coffee?
Ok you take cr G eam and sugar?
In tr C uck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
In the company of h Dm as-beens
And bent-backs G and sleeping forms
On pavement steps
In l C ibraries and railway stations
In books and banks
Dm In the pages of history
In s G uicidal cavalry attacks
I recognise... C G/B Am
F Myself in G every stranger's e C yes
And in wh C eelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
Dm In council care and county courts
G At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
In dr C awing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts in the China seas
In tr Dm ansit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
G In faces blurred by rubber stamps
I recognise... C G/B Am
F Myself in G every stranger's C eyes
And n C ow from where I s C tand
Upon this Dm hill I plundered from the p G ool
I look ar C ound, I search the sk C/E ies
I shade my e Dm yes, so nearly bl G ind
And I see s C igns of half re C/B membered d Am ays
I hear bells t G hat ch F ime C/E in str Dm ange familiar way G s
C C/B Am
F The hope you k G indle in your ey C es
It's oh so easy now
As we l F ie here in the d G ark
Nothing Em interferes it's obvious
How to b Am eat the tears
That thr Dm eaten to snuff out
The sp G ark of our l C ove
The Moment of Clarity
And the m C oment of clarity
Faded like charity d Am oes
Sometimes
I open one eye
And I p F ut out my hand just to t C ouch your soft hair
To make s F ure in the darkness that y C ou were still there
And I h F ave to admit
I w C as just a l Am ittle afr G aid, F oh y C eah
But t Am hen...
I h F ad a little bit of luck
You were awake
I couldn't take another moment al C one.
Roger Waters
