Chords with lyrics

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
G+G
To reach for the pie in the sky
C minorCm
Go fishing my boy!
Bsus4Bsus4 BB CdimCdim Bsus4Bsus4 BB E minorEm C majorC D MajorD
Bsus4Bsus4
We set out in the spring
D MajorD
With a trunk full of books about everything
Bsus4Bsus4
About solar devices
D MajorD
And how nice natural childbirth is
CdimCdim
We cut down some trees
And we trailed our ideals
Bsus4Bsus4 BB
Through the forest glade
CdimCdim
We dammed up the stream
And the kids cooled their heels
Bsus4Bsus4 BB
In the fishing pool we'd made
E minorEm Em/DEm/D
We held hands and we exchanged bands
C majorC D MajorD
And we practically lived off the land
Bsus4Bsus4
You adopted a fox cub
D MajorD
Whose mother was somebody's coat
Bsus4Bsus4
You fed him by hand
And then snuggled him down
D MajorD
In the grandfather bed while I wrote
CdimCdim
We grew our own maize
Bsus4Bsus4
And I only occasionally went into town
CdimCdim
To stock up on antibiotics
Bsus4Bsus4 BB
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around
E minorEm Em/DEm/D
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
C majorC D MajorD
And the sun went down sooner each day.
G+G
*Chapter six in which Eeyore has a birthday
C majorC
And gets two presents
D MajorD G+G
Daddy...come on dad
Eeyore the old grey donkey stood by the side
C majorC
Of the stream and he looked at himself in the water
D MajorD
"Pathetic" he said, "That's what it is"
Bsus4Bsus4 BB D MajorD
"Good morning Eeyore" said Pooh
CdimCdim Bsus4Bsus4 BB
"Oh" said Pooh, He thought for a long time
Bsus4Bsus4
Then the leaves all fell down
Our crops all turned brown
D MajorD
It was over
Bsus4Bsus4
As the first snowflakes fell
D MajorD
I realized all was not well in the camp
CdimCdim
The kids caught bronchitis
Bsus4Bsus4 BB
The space heater ran out of diesel
CdimCdim
One weekend a friend from the East,
Bsus4Bsus4 BB
Rot his soul, stole your heart
E minorEm
I said "Fuck it then
Em/DEm/D
Take the kids back to town
C majorC D MajorD
Maybe I'll see you around"
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G Am7Am7 G+G C majorC G/BG/B
Am7Am7 G+G
And so...leaving all our hopes and dreams
C majorC Am7Am7 D MajorD
To the wind and the rain
G+G
Taking only our stash
Am7Am7 G+G
Left our litter and trash
C majorC
And set out on the road again
G/BG/B Am7Am7 G+G
On the road again
C majorC
On the road again
D MajorD G+G E minorEm
On the road
Bye Bye Daddy, Bye Daddy
E minorEm
You can bring Pearl she's a darn nice girl
