THE PROS AND CONS OF HITCH HIKING - ROGER WATERS

This is a great album, but before you start, you must learn this:

e-------------------------------------|
B-------------------------------------|
G-------------------------------------|
D------0h2------0h2------0h2----------|
A--3---------0--------0--------0-2----|
E-------------------------------------|
this is basically the main riff of the album,
(sometimes played with variations, such as one more Am bar)
it occurs in almost all of the songs (during the C/Am parts)
You should also kinda strum C and Am while playing this...
This riff will be signified by a *********************/
at the beginning and ************/ ending of the riff

4:30 (Apparently They Were Running Abroad)
-------------------------------------------------

C F C F C Dm Em G G+ Am

**********************************************/
Am C Am
We were moving away from the border
C Am
Looking for somewhere to sleep
C Am
The two of us sharing the driving
C Am
Two hitchhikers slumped in the back seat
Hello
C Am
I sneaked a quick look in the mirror
She gave me a smile
C Am
I said "Is anyone hungry?
C Am
Should we stop for a while?"
C Am Am
So we pulled off into a layby
C Am
Her dress blew up over her head
C Am
I said "Would you like to come with me?"
C Am
She said something foreign under her breath
*************************************************/

F C
And the sun shone down on her lovely young limbs
F C
I thought to myself she's much too good for him
F C F
I lay down beside her with tears in my eyes
G F *C Am *G F C C/B...
She said

4:33 (Running Shoes)
----------------------------

Am
So I stood by the roadside
(G) F
The soles of my running shoes gripping the tarmac
(G) Am (G) F (G)
Like gunmetal magnets
Am
Fixed on the front of her Fassbinder face
(G) F
Was the kind of a smile
(G) Am
That only a rather dull child could have drawn
(G) F (G)
While attempting a graveyard in the moonlight
Am
But she was impressed
(G) F
You could see that she thought I looked fine
(G) Am
And when she turned sweeter
(G) F
The reason (between you and me) was
(G) Am F
She'd just seen my green Lamborghini

(You can play a barre-chord G in the middle of Am and F
and visa-versa to link them together)
*********************************************/
Am C Am
So we went for a spin in the country
C Am
To feel the wind in our hair
C Am
To feel the power of my engine
C Am
To feel the thrill of desire
*********************************************/

C Am C Am F C F C G F (C)

F C
And then in the trees I heard a twig snap
F C
Warning lights flashed on my map
F C
I opened my eyes and to my surprise

----------------------------------------------
4:37 (Arabs With Knives And West German Skies)
----------------------------------------------
G C
There were Arabs with Knives
F Am
At the foot of the bed
G F C
Right at the foot of the bed
************************************************/
C Am
Oh my God how did they get in here?
C Am
I thought we were safe home in England
*************************************************/
F C F
She said "Come on now kid, it was wrong what you did
G F C Am
You've got to admit it was wrong what you did
G F C
You got to admit it was wrong"
Oh god....Jesus
C
Sleep Sleep
G
I know that I'm only dreaming
Leave her alone..get out..out..get out of my house
C
Through closed eyes
G
I see West German skies on the ceiling
F
And I want to get back to the girl with the rucksack
C
To feel her flaxen hair
G
I want to be there
F
See the sun going down behind Krupps steelworks
C G
On the outskirts of some German town
C
Guten Abend meiner Damen und Herren Ha Ha Ha Ha
G7
Willkommen in Konnigsburg Ha Ha Ha Ha
C
Wollen zie danzen mit mir oder drinken Bier Ha Ha Ha Ha
G7
Thank you but......
F# F

I think we'll just say goodnight
Leave us alone

Goodnight
"Leave us alone

Could I have the key to one four three please?
F
There you are
Thank you, goodnight

4:39 (For The First Time Today Part 2)
------------------------------------------

C
For the first time today
F G C
I held her naked body next to mine
F Am Dm7
In this hotel overlooking the Rhine
G G+
I made her mine

4:41 (Sexual Revolution)
----------------------------

Em
Hey, girl take out the dagger
C D Em
And let's have a stab at the sexual revolution
Em
Hey girl let freedom for all be our rallying call
C D Em
Tomorrow lets make...our new resolution
C D
Yeah, but tonight lie still
G D Em
While I plunder your sweet grave
C D Em
And remember only the poor can be saved

Em
Hey girl as I've always said I prefer your lips red
C D Em
Not what the good Lord made but what he intended
Em
Hey girl don't point the finger at me
C D Em
I am only a rat in a maze like you and only the dead go free
C D
So please hold my hand
G D Em
As we blunder through the maze
C D Em
And remember nothing can grow without rain
(Thunder)

(Em C Em C Em C Em C )

Em........... C.... Em C D G D Em

C D Em
Don't point your finger at me

G G/F# Em
I awoke in a fever
G G/F# Em
The bedclothes were all soaked in sweat
G G/F# Em
She said "You've been having a nightmare
G G/F# Em
And it's not over yet"
C D
Then she picked up the doggy in the window
G G/F# Em
(The one with the waggly tail)
C D Em
And she put him to bed between two bits of bread

-------------------------------
4:47 (The Remains Of Our Love)
-------------------------------
G G/F# Em
I just cowered in the corner
G G/F# Em
My pyjama coat over my head
G G/F# Em
And she smiled as she finished her sandwich

G G/F# Em

F C F
And her cold eyes fixed me to my dark history
G
As she brushed the remains
F C
Of our love from the bed
***************************************/
C Am
And when she had turned back the covers
C Am
When all of the prayers had been read
***************************************/
F
She said "Come on over here you silly boy
F
Before you catch your death of cold
C
I was only joking
F
Let's leave behind the city grime
F
Let's not compete
C
It could be fine in the country
G F
Couldn't it though...come on lets go
C F C F...
I said "OK"

----------------------------------
4:50 (Go FIshing)
----------------------------------
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

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 "**** 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
--------------------------------------
4:56 (For The First Time Today Part 1)
--------------------------------------
Am
For the first time today
F G C
I feel it's really over
F Dm
You were my everyday excuse
G G+
For playing deaf, dumb and blind
Am
Who'd have ever thought
F G C
This was how it would end for you and me
F Dm
To carry my own millstone
G G+
Out of the trees
Am
And I have to admit

I don't like it a bit
F Am
Being left here beside this lonesome road.
D/F#
Lonesome road

4:58 Dunroamin Duncarin Dunlivin
--------------------------------
************************************/
C Am
I nailed ducks to the wall
G C Am
Kept my heart in dark ruins
G C Am
I built bungalows all over the hills
G C Am
Dunroamin, duncarin, dunlivin
G C Am
Took my girl to the country
G C Am
To sleep out under the moon
C Am
Next thing she's going crazy
************************************/
G C Am
She waits for the real Mr. Right to come
G C Am
Gently removing her heart
F G
With his promises of real communication
F# F
Who's always picking up the tab
C
Who built a bungalow for his mum and dad
F
Who took you out to all the shows
C
Who worked his fingers to the bone
G
While you were asleep
F# F
I kept you in buttons and bows
C
So you could encourage this creep
F# F
With his neat feet
C
And his clean fingernails
F# F C
With his wise but twinkling eyes
F C
He's a rock standing out in an ocean of doubt
F G
And compromise
F# F C
I'd like to go on with this bit of a song
F C
Describing this schmuck
F G C
I'd like to go on, but I'm going to throw up
Am
[Not in my rig you don't boy...get the hell out of here]

In some strange Californian handshake

A housewife from Encino

Another number in your little black book

Why prolong the agony all men must die"

5:06 (Every Stranger's Eyes)
----------------------------
C
Hello...you wanna cup of coffee?
Dm
I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?
G
Ok you take cream and sugar?
C
In truck stops and hamburger joints

In Cadillac limousines
Dm
In the company of has-beens
G
And bent-backs and sleeping forms

On pavement steps
C
In libraries and railway stations

In books and banks
Dm
In the pages of history
G
In suicidal cavalry attacks
C C/B Am
I recognise...
F G C
Myself in every stranger's eyes

C
And in wheelchairs by monuments

Under tube trains and commuter accidents
Dm
In council care and county courts
G
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
C
In drawing rooms and city morgues

In award winning photographs

Of life rafts in the China seas
Dm
In transit camps, under arc lamps

On unloading ramps
G
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
C C/B Am
I recognise...
F G C
Myself in every stranger's eyes

C C/B Am
And now from where I stand
Dm G
Upon this hill I plundered from the pool
C C/B Am
I look around, I search the skies
Dm G
I shade my eyes, so nearly blind
C C/B Am
And I see signs of half remembered days
G F Dm G
I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
C C/B Am
I recognai----ise...
F G C F
The hope you kindle in your eyes

C F G C Am Dm G

C
Its oh so easy now
F G
As we lie here in the dark
Em
Nothing interferes it's obvious
Am
How to beat the tears
Dm
That threaten to snuff out
G C
The spark of our love
------------------------
5:11 (Moment Of Clarity)
------------------------
**************************/
C
And the moment of clarity
Am
Faded like charity does
**************************/
Am
And sometimes

F C
I put out my hand just to touch your soft hair
F C
To make sure in the darkness that you were still there
F
And I have to admit
C Am G F C
I was just a little afraid, oh yeah
Am
But then...
F
I had a little bit of luck

You were awake
C
I couldn't take another moment alone.
