Pros And Cons Album Roger Waters
---------------------------------------
The chords over the spoken words:
[C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [Dm] [Em] [G] [G+] [Am] Apparently they were travelling abroad
And they picked up some hitchhikers...drill
Wake up you're dreaming...what...you're dreaming
We were moving away from the border
Uh what border?
Have a nice day...uh...have a nice day
[G]We were m[C]oving away from the b[Am]order
L[C]ooking for somewhere to sl[Am]eep
[G]The t[C]wo of us sharing the dr[Am]iving
[G]Two h[C]itchhikers slumped in the b[Am]ack seat
Hello
[G]I sne[C]aked a quick look in the m[Am]irror
She gave me a smile
[G] [C]I said "Is anyone h[Am]ungry?
[G] [C] Should we stop for a while?"[Am]
[C]So we p[Am]ulled off into a layby[Am]
[G]Her dr[C]ess blew up over her h[Am]ead
[C]I said "Would you like to c[Am]ome with me?"
She sa[G]id [C] something foreign under her breath[Am]
And the s[F]un shone down on her l[C]ovely young limbs
I th[F]ought to myself she's much t[C]oo good for him
I l[F]ay down beside her with t[C]ears in my eyes
She said[G] [F] [C] [Am] [G] [F] [C]
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
Arabs with Knives and West German Skies
----------------------------------------
There were [G]Arabs with Kn[A]ives
At the f[F]oot of the b[Am]ed
R[G]ight at the f[Am]oot of the b[C]ed
Oh my G[C]od how did they get [Am]in here?
I tho[C]ught we were safe home in [Am]England
She said "C[F]ome on now kid, it was wr[C]ong what you d[F]id
You've g[G]ot to adm[F]it it was wr[C]ong what you d[F]id
You g[G]ot to adm[F]it it was wr[C]ong"
Oh god....Jesus
Sle[C]ep Sleep
I know that I'm only d[Gsus4]reaming[G]
Leave her alone..get out..out..get out of my house
Thr[C]ough closed eyes
I see West German skies on the [Gsus4]ceiling[G]
And I w[F]ant to get back
To the girl with the rucksack
To fe[C]el her flaxen hair
I want to be th[G]ere
See the s[F]un going down
Behind Kr[F]upps steelworks
[C] On the outskirts of s[G]ome German town
G[C]uten 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......
T[Gb]his young l[F]ady and I
Will just finish this bottle of w[C]ine[G]
It was k[F]ind of you...but
I think we'll just say goodn[Em]ight
Leave us alone
Goodnight
Leave us alone
[C] Could I have the key to one four three please?
[F] There you are
Thank you, goodnight
[C] [F] [C] H[Dm]ello yes I'd like to order breakfast please
I'd like c[Em]offee for two, and toast with marmalade
[G] No...marmalade.[G+]
For the First Time Today-Part 2
--------------------------------
For the f[Am]irst time today
I h[F]eld her naked b[G]ody next to m[C]ine
In this hot[F]el overl[Am]ooking the Rh[Dm]ine
[G] I made her m[G+]ine
[Am] Ooh babe...o[G]oh babe[C] [C] [C] [C] [F] [Am] [Dm] [Dm]
C[G]ome with me and st[G+]ay with me[Am]
Pl[F]ease st[Em]ay with me
Uh...what is it?
[F] Stay with me
S[Em]tay with me[F]
St[Em]ay with me[F]
No...
[Am] Stay with me[F] [Am]
Forget it
Sexual Revolution
------------------
[Em] Hey...girl
Take out the dagger
And let's have a stab at the s[C]exual [D] revol[Em]ution
Hey girl
Let freedom for all be our rallying call
Tom[C]orrow lets make...our n[D]ew resol[Em]ution
Yeah, but ton[C]ight lie st[D]ill
While I pl[G]under y[D]our sweet gr[Em]ave
And rem[C]ember
[D]Only the poor can be s[Em]aved
Hey girl
As I've always said I prefer your lips red
Not what the good Lord made
But what he intended
Hey girl
Don't point the finger at me
I am only a rat in a maze like you
And only the dead go free
So...please hold my hand
As we blunder through the maze
And remember
Nothing can grow without rain
(Thunder)
[C]Don't point
Don't point your f[D]inger at [Em]me
[G] I a[G/F#]woke in a f[Em]ever
The b[G]edclothes were[G/F#] all soaked in sw[Em]eat
She s[G]aid "You've been [G/F#]having a n[Em]ightmare
[G] And it's [G/F#]not over [Em]yet"
Then she p[C]icked up the doggy in the w[G]indow
(The [G]one with the [G/F#]waggly t[Em]ail)
And she p[C]ut him to bed [D] between two bits of[Em] bread
The Remains of Our Love
------------------------
[G] I just cowered in the c[Em]orner
My pyj[G]ama coat over my h[Em]ead
And she sm[G]iled as she finished her s[Em]andwich
[G] [Em] And her c[F]old eyes fixed me to my d[C]ark histor[F]y
As she br[G]ushed the remains
Of our l[F]ove from the b[C]ed
And wh[C]en she had turned back the c[Am]overs
When [C]all of the prayers had been r[Am]ead
She said "C[F]ome on over here you silly boy
Before you c[F]atch your death of cold
I was only j[C]oking
Let's l[F]eave behind the city grime
Let's not comp[F]ete
It could be fine in the c[C]ountry
C[G]ouldn't it though...come [F]on lets go
C F C F...
I said "OK"
Are we going to go now?
Where would you like to go darling?
Mmm...Vermont...Wyoming (yes)
Wyoming...huh huh
Children...(what) we're going to Wyoming
Darling...Which way is Wyoming?
Hook a right here
You're going the wrong way
I know that
I know children...
Let's see how many...Volvos we pass
On the way to our new life in the country
...One
Jade don't do that, that's really negative
Go Fishing
-----------
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
To r[G]each for the pie in the sky
Go fishing my boy![Cm]
[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.
[G] *Chapter six in which Eeyore has a birthday
A[C]nd gets two presents
Daddy.[D]..co[G]me on dad
Eeyore the old grey donkey stood by the side
Of the str[C]eam and he looked at himself in the water
"Pathetic" he said, "Th[D]at's what it is"
[Bsus4] [B] "Go[D]od morning Eeyore" said Pooh
[Cdim] [Bsus4]"Oh" said Pooh, He thought for a long time[B]
Then the [Bsus4]leaves all fell down
Our crops all turned brown
It was [D]over
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]
One w[Cdim]eekend a friend from the East,
Rot his soul, stole your [Bsus4]heart[B]
I said [Em] "Fuck it then
Take the [Em/D]kids back to town
M[C]aybe I'll see you ar[D]ound"
[G] [C] [D] [G] [Am7] [G] [C] [G/B] [Am7] And so...le[G]aving all our hopes and dreams
To the w[C]ind and the [Am7]rain[D]
Taking [G]only our stash
Left our [Am7]litter and tr[G]ash
And s[C]et out on the road again
[G/B] On the [Am7]road ag[G]ain
On the road again[C]
On the r[D]oa[G]d [Em]
Bye Bye Daddy, Bye Daddy
[Em]You can bring Pearl she's a darn nice girl
But don't bring Liza
For the First Time Today-Part 1
--------------------------------
For the f[Am]irst time today
I f[F]eel it's really [G]over[C]
You were my [F]everyday exc[Dm]use
For playing [G] deaf, dumb and b[G+]lind
[Am] Who'd have ever thought
Th[F]is was how it would [G]end for you and m[C]e
To carry my [F]own millst[Dm]one
Out of the tr[G]ees[G+]
[Am] And I have to admit
I don't like it a bit
Being left here b[F]eside this l[Am]onesome road.
[D/F#] Lonesome road
E7-10
Lonesome road
Dunroamin, Duncarin, Dunlivin
------------------------------
Hey kid, you looking for a lift?...Get on up here
How's it going good buddy?
[C] I nailed ducks to the [Am]wall
[G] [C] Kept my heart in dark r[Am]uins
I b[G]uilt b[C]ungalows all over the h[Am]ills
D[G]unr[C]oamin, duncarin, dun[Am]livin
[G] [C] Took my girl to the c[Am]ountry
[G]To sle[C]ep out under the m[Am]oon
N[C]ext thing she's going c[Am]razy
W[C]omen are like that kid
What the h[Am]ell can you do?
[G]She w[C]aits for the real Mr. [Am]Right to come
[G] G[C]ently removing her h[Am]eart
With his pr[F]omises of real communicat[G]ion
I saw a program about that on TV........
[F#]Who's [F]always picking up the tab
Who built a bungalow for his mum and d[C]ad
Me.....
Who t[F]ook you out to all the shows
Who worked his fingers to the b[C]one
Me....
While you were asl[G]eep
It was me...I did
I kept you in buttons [F#]and b[F]ows
Christ all those clothes
So you could encourage this cr[C]eep
W[F#]ith his [F] neat feet
And his cle[C]an fingernails
W[F#]ith his w[F]ise but twinkling [C]eyes
He's a r[F]ock standing out in an [C]ocean of doubt
Get movin', get off the r[F]oad ya Goddam faggot
And compromise[G]
[F#]I'd l[F]ike to go on with this b[C]it of a song
[F] Describing this schm[C]uck
I'd l[F]ike to go on,[G] but I'm going to throw [C]up
(Not in my rig you don't boy...get the hell out of here)[Am]
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]
I recogn-a-a-a-a-a-ise...
[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.
