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 C Am
We were moving away from the border
C AmLooking for somewhere to sleep
The two of us sharing the driving
G C AmTwo hitchhikers slumped in the back seat
Hello
G C AmI sneaked a quick look in the mirror
She gave me a smile
G C AmI said "Is anyone hungry?
G C AmShould we stop for a while?"
So we pulled off into a layby
G C AmHer dress blew up over her head
C AmI said "Would you like to come with me?"
She said something foreign under her breath
F CAnd the sun shone down on her lovely young limbs
F CI thought to myself she's much too good for him
I lay down beside her with tears in my eyes
G F C Am G F CShe said
4.33 AM Running Shoes
Am
So I stood by the roadside
FThe soles of my running shoes gripping the tarmac
Like gunmetal magnets
AmFixed on the front of her Fassbinder face
FWas the kind of a smile
That only a rather dull child could have drawn
FWhile attempting a graveyard in the moonlight
AmBut she was impressed
You could see that she thought I looked fine
AmAnd when she turned sweeter
FThe reason (between you and me) was
She'd just seen my green Lamborghini
So we went for a spin in the country
C AmTo feel the wind in our hair
C AmTo feel the power of my engine
To feel the thrill of desire
F CAnd then in the trees I heard a twig snap
F CWarning lights flashed on my map
I opened my eyes and to my surprise
Arabs with Knives and West German Skies
----------------------------------------
There were Arabs with Knives
F AmAt the foot of the bed
G Am CRight at the foot of the bed
Oh my God how did they get in here?
C AmI thought we were safe home in England
F C FShe said "Come on now kid, it was wrong what you did
You've got to admit it was wrong what you did
G F CYou got to admit it was wrong"
Oh god....Jesus
CSleep Sleep
Gsus4 GI know that I'm only dreaming
Leave her alone..get out..out..get out of my house
CThrough closed eyes
I see West German skies on the ceiling
FAnd I want to get back
To the girl with the rucksack
To feel her flaxen hair
GI want to be there
FSee the sun going down
Behind Krupps steelworks
C GOn the outskirts of some German town
CGuten Abend meiner Damen und Herren Ha Ha Ha Ha
Willkommen in Konnigsburg Ha Ha Ha Ha
CWollen zie danzen mit mir oder drinken Bier Ha Ha Ha Ha
G7Thank you but......
This young lady and I
C GWill just finish this bottle of wine
FIt was kind of you...but
I think we'll just say goodnight
Leave us alone
Goodnight
Leave us alone
Could I have the key to one four three please?
FThere you are
Thank you, goodnight
Dm
Hello yes I'd like to order breakfast please
EmI'd like coffee for two, and toast with marmalade
No...marmalade.

Sexual Revolution
------------------
Em
Hey...girl
Take out the dagger
C D EmAnd let's have a stab at the sexual revolution
Hey girl
Let freedom for all be our rallying call
C D EmTomorrow lets make...our new resolution
C DYeah, but tonight lie still
While I plunder your sweet grave
CAnd remember
D EmOnly the poor can be saved
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)
Don't point
D EmDon't point your finger at me
G G/F# EmI awoke in a fever
The bedclothes were all soaked in sweat
G G/F# EmShe said "You've been having a nightmare
G G/F# EmAnd it's not over yet"
Then she picked up the doggy in the window
G G/F# Em(The one with the waggly tail)
C D EmAnd she put him to bed between two bits of bread
The Remains of Our Love
------------------------
G Em
I just cowered in the corner
My pyjama coat over my head
G EmAnd she smiled as she finished her sandwich
G Em
F C F
And her cold eyes fixed me to my dark history
As she brushed the remains
F COf our love from the bed
C AmAnd when she had turned back the covers
When all of the prayers had been read
FShe said "Come on over here you silly boy
FBefore you catch your death of cold
I was only joking
FLet's leave behind the city grime
FLet's not compete
It could be fine in the country
G FCouldn't it though...come on lets go
C F C FI 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
GTo reach for the pie in the sky
Go fishing my boy!
Bsus4
We set out in the spring
DWith a trunk full of books about everything
About solar devices
DAnd how nice natural childbirth is
CdimWe cut down some trees
And we trailed our ideals
Bsus4 BThrough the forest glade
CdimWe dammed up the stream
And the kids cooled their heels
Bsus4 BIn the fishing pool we'd made
Em Em/DWe held hands and we exchanged bands
And we practically lived off the land
Bsus4You adopted a fox cub
DWhose mother was somebody's coat
You fed him by hand
And then snuggled him down
DIn the grandfather bed while I wrote
We grew our own maize
Bsus4And I only occasionally went into town
CdimTo stock up on antibiotics
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around
Em Em/DI told the kids stories while you worked your loom
C DAnd the sun went down sooner each day.
*Chapter six in which Eeyore has a birthday
CAnd gets two presents
D GDaddy...come on dad
Eeyore the old grey donkey stood by the side
COf the stream and he looked at himself in the water
D"Pathetic" he said, "That's what it is"
"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
It was over
Bsus4As the first snowflakes fell
DI realized all was not well in the camp
The kids caught bronchitis
Bsus4 BThe space heater ran out of diesel
CdimOne weekend a friend from the East,
Rot his soul, stole your heart
EmI said "Fuck it then
Em/DTake the kids back to town
Maybe I'll see you around"
Am7 G
And so...leaving all our hopes and dreams
C Am7 DTo the wind and the rain
Taking only our stash
Am7 GLeft our litter and trash
CAnd set out on the road again
On the road again
COn the road again
D G EmOn the road
Bye Bye Daddy, Bye Daddy
EmYou can bring Pearl she's a darn nice girl
But don't bring Liza
For the First Time Today-Part 1
--------------------------------
Am
For the first time today
I feel it's really over
F DmYou were my everyday excuse
G G+For playing deaf, dumb and blind
Who'd have ever thought
F G CThis was how it would end for you and me
F DmTo carry my own millstone
Out of the trees
AmAnd I have to admit
I don't like it a bit
Being left here beside this lonesome road.
D/F#Lonesome road
E7-10Lonesome road
Dunroamin, Duncarin, Dunlivin
------------------------------
Hey kid, you looking for a lift?...Get on up here
How's it going good buddy?
I nailed ducks to the wall
G C AmKept my heart in dark ruins
G C AmI built bungalows all over the hills
Dunroamin, duncarin, dunlivin
G C AmTook my girl to the country
G C AmTo sleep out under the moon
Next thing she's going crazy
CWomen are like that kid
AmWhat the hell can you do?
She waits for the real Mr. Right to come
G C AmGently removing her heart
F GWith his promises of real communication
I saw a program about that on TV........
F# FWho's always picking up the tab
CWho built a bungalow for his mum and dad
MeF
Who took you out to all the shows
CWho worked his fingers to the bone
MeG
While you were asleep
It was me...I did
I kept you in buttons and bows
Christ all those clothes
CSo you could encourage this creep
With his neat feet
CAnd his clean fingernails
F# F CWith his wise but twinkling eyes
He's a rock standing out in an ocean of doubt
FGet movin', get off the road ya Goddam faggot
GAnd compromise
I'd like to go on with this bit of a song
F CDescribing this schmuck
F G CI'd like to go on, but I'm going to throw up
[Not in my rig you don't boy...get the hell out of here]
The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking
---------------------------------
Dm
An angel on a Harley
AmPulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone
Puts his bike up on it's stand
Leans back and then extends
AmA scarred and greasy hand...he said
How ya doin bro?...where ya been?...where ya goin'?
DThen he takes your hand
In some strange Californian handshake
And breaks the bone
Have a nice day
DmA housewife from Encino
Whose husband's on the golf course
AmWith his book of rules
DmBreaks and makes a 'U' and idles back
To take a second look at you
GYou flex your rod
C AmFish takes the hook
Sweet vodka and tobacco in her breath
GAnother number in your little black book
C Em
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
C EmThese are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Oh babe, I must be dreaming
DmI'm standing on the leading edge
AmThe Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes
"Jump" says Yoko Ono
Am"I'm too scared and too good looking" I cried
G"Go on", she says
"Why don't you give it a try?
D GWhy prolong the agony all men must die"
DmDo you remember Dick Tracy?
Do you remember Shane?
And mother wants you
DmCould you see him selling tickets
Where the buzzard circles over [Shane]
The body on the plain
GDid you understand the music Yoko
Or was it all in vain? [Shane]
DThe bitch said something mystical "Herro"
GSo I stepped back on the kerb again
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
C EmThese are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
D GOh babe, I must be dreaming again
C Em (repeat and fade)
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
Every Strangers Eyes
---------------------
C
Hello...you wanna cup of coffee?
I'm sorry, would you like a cup of coffee?
GOk you take cream and sugar?
CIn truck stops and hamburger joints
In Cadillac limousines
DmIn the company of has-beens
GAnd bent-backs and sleeping forms
On pavement steps
CIn libraries and railway stations
In books and banks
In the pages of history
GIn suicidal cavalry attacks
C G/B AmI recognise...
Myself in every stranger's eyes
And in wheelchairs by monuments
Under tube trains and commuter accidents
DmIn council care and county courts
At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts
CIn drawing rooms and city morgues
In award winning photographs
Of life rafts in the China seas
DmIn transit camps, under arc lamps
On unloading ramps
In faces blurred by rubber stamps
C G/B AmI recognise...
F G CMyself in every stranger's eyes
C C
And now from where I stand
Upon this hill I plundered from the pool
C C/EI look around, I search the skies
Dm GI shade my eyes, so nearly blind
And I see signs of half remembered days
G F C/E Dm GI hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways
C C/B AmI recogn-a-a-a-a-a-ise...
The hope you kindle in your eyes
It's oh so easy now
F GAs we lie here in the dark
Nothing interferes it's obvious
AmHow to beat the tears
DmThat threaten to snuff out
The spark of our love
The Moment of Clarity
----------------------
C
And the moment of clarity
Faded like charity does
Sometimes
I open one eye
And I put out my hand just to touch your soft hair
F CTo make sure in the darkness that you were still there
FAnd I have to admit
I was just a little afraid, oh yeah
AmBut then...
FI had a little bit of luck
You were awake
CI couldn't take another moment alone.
