Go Fishing

Intro:Em Em7 C D (Dadd9)

Bm7
We set out in the Spring =
With a trunkful of books about 
            D
everything.
Bm7
About solar devices
                           D
And how nice natural childbirth is.
Cmaj7/E
We cut down some trees and trailed 
our ideals
                B7
Through the forest glade.
Cmaj7/E
We dammed up the stream and the kids
 cooled their heels
         B7
In the fishing pool we made.
Em                         Em7
We held hands and we exchanged bands
         C               Cmaj7 
And we practically lived off the 
    D
land.
Bm7
You adopted a fox cub
Whose mother was somebody's coat.
D

Bm7
You fed him by hand, then snuggled 
him down
       D
In the grandfather bed, while I 
wrote.
Cmaj7/E
And we grew our own maize
                                B7
And I only occasionally went into 
town
Cmaj7/E
To stock up on antibiotics
                         B7
And shells for the shotgun that I 
kept around.
Em                                
I told the kids stories while you 
      Em7
worked your loom
          C                 Cmaj7 
And the sun went down sooner each 
          D
day.

Bm7
Then the leaves all fell down,
And the crops all turned brown.  It 
     D
was over.
Bm7
As the first snowflakes fell
                             D
I realized all was not well in the 
camp.
Cmaj7/E
The kids caught bronchitis,
The space heater ran out of diesel,
B7

    Cmaj7/E
One weekend a friend from the east
                                  B7
(Rot his soul) stole your heart.
Em                                
I said, =D2Fuck it then, take the 
        Em7
kids back to town,
C            Cmaj7        D     
Maybe I'll see you around.=D3

And so leaving all our hopes and 
     Em7
dreams
         C      Cmaj7     D     =
To the wind and the rain,
Dadd9    G          Em7/F# =
Taking only our stash,
           Em             Em7
Left our litter and trash
    C           Cmaj7
And set out =
D        Dadd9 G (etc. to fade)
On the road again.
