From: DNadelberg@aol.com Date: Thu, 30 Oct 1997 06:12:35 -0500 (EST) Subject: CRD "Go Fishing" by Roger Waters CRD "Go Fishing" by Roger Waters 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: Em Em7 C D (Dadd9)
Bm7We set out in the Spring = With a trunkfDul of books about everything. Bm7About solar devices And how nDice natural childbirth is. Cmaj7/EWe cut down some trees and trailed our ideals ThroB7ugh the forest glade. Cmaj7/EWe dammed up the stream and the kids cooled their heels In B7the fishing pool we made. EmWe held hanEm7ds and we exchanged bands AndC we prCmaj7actically Dlived off the land.
Bm7You adopted a fox cub Whose motherD 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 I onB7ly occasionally went into town Cmaj7/ETo stock up on antibiotics And sheB7lls for the shotgun that I kept around. EmI told the kEm7ids stories while you worked your loom And Cthe sun wCmaj7ent down soDoner each day.

Bm7Then the leaves all fell down, And the crops alDl turned brown. It was over. Bm7As the first snowflakes fell I realized Dall was not well in the camp.
Cmaj7/EThe kids caught bronchitis, The space heB7ater ran out of diesel, One Cmaj7/Eweekend a friend from the east (Rot his sB7oul) stole your heart.
