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...

4:30 (Apparently They Were Running Abroad)

[C]    [F]     [C]    [F]    [C]    [Dm]    [Em]    [G]   [G]     [Am]

[Am]We were mo[C]ving away from the bo[Am]rder
L[C]ooking for somewhere to sl[Am]eep
The t[C]wo of us sharing the dr[Am]iving
Two h[C]itchhikers slumped in the b[Am]ack seat
        Hello
I sn[C]eaked a quick look in the [Am]mirror
She gave me a smile
    [C]I said "Is anyone h[Am]ungry?
  [C]  Should we stop for a while?" [Am]
[C]So we p[Am]ulled off into a layby [Am]
Her dr[C]ess blew up over her h[Am]ead
[C]I said "Would you like to c[Am]ome with me?"
She said [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 e[F]yes
She said    [G]      [F]         [C]           [Am]                [G]                  [F]                    [C]                      [C]                        [B]

4:33 (Running Shoes)

[Am]   So I stood by the roadside
The soles of m[G]y r[F]unning shoes gripping the tarmac
Like gunme[G]tal m[Am]agnets   [G]          [F]               [G]
F[Am]ixed on the front of her Fassbinder face
Was th[G]e k[F]ind of a smile
That only a rather du[G]ll c[Am]hild could have drawn
While attempting a graveyard i[G]n the m[F]oonlight   [G]
B[Am]ut she was impressed
You could see that she thought I loo[G]ked [F]fine
A[G]nd w[Am]hen she turned sweeter
The reason (between you an[G]d m[F]e) was
She'd just seen my green Lambo[G]rgh[Am]ini      [F]

(You can play a barre-chord G in the middle of Am and F
and visa-versa to link them together)
[Am]       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
To f[C]eel the thrill of des[Am]ire

[C] [Am] [C] [Am]  [F] [C] [F] [C] [G] [F]  [C]

And t[F]hen in the trees I [C]heard a twig snap
W[F]arning lights flashed on my m[C]ap
I [F]opened my eyes and t[C]o my surprise

4:37 (Arabs With Knives And West German Skies)

There were [G]Arabs with Kn[C]ives
At the f[F]oot of the b[Am]ed
R[G]ight at the f[F]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[Am]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 dre[G]aming
Leave her alone..get out..out..get out of my house
Thr[C]ough closed eyes
I see West German skies on the ce[G]iling
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 Krupps 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[F#]his young l[F]ady and I
Will just finish this bottle of w[C]ine [C7]         [G]
It was k[F]ind of you...but
I think we'll just say goodn[C]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]

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

For the [C]first 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[Dm7]ine
[G]  I made her m[G]ine
[Am] Ooh babe...o[G]oh babe    [C]        [F]          [Am]             [Dm]
C[G]ome with me and st[G]ay with me   [Am]
Pl[F]ease st[Am]ay with me
        Uh...what is it?
[F] Stay with me
S[Am]tay with me      [F]
S[C]tay with me      [F]
        No...
[Am]   Stay with me    [F]               [Am]                           [F]

4:41 (Sexual Revolution)

[Em]   Hey, girl take out the dagger
And let's have a stab at the s[C]exual [D]  revol[Em]ution
[Em]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 [Em]saved

[Em]Hey girl as I've always said I prefer your lips red
Not [C]what the good Lord made [D]   but what he in[Em]tended
[Em]Hey girl don't point the finger at me
I am only a [C]rat in a maze like you[D] and only the [Em]dead go free
So [C]please hold my [D]hand
As we b[G]lunder th[D]rough the m[Em]aze
And r[C]emember n[D]othing can grow without r[Em]ain
        (Thunder)

([Em] [C]  [Em] [C]  [Em] [C]  [Em] [C] )

[Em]            [C]     [Em]    [C] [D] [G] [D] [Em]

[C]Don't po[D]int your [Em]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"
Then she p[C]icked up the doggy in the w[D]indow
     [G]            [G/f#]    [Em]
(The one with the waggly tail)
And she p[C]ut him to bed [D] between two bits of[Em]  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]

And her c[F]old eyes fixed me to my d[C]ark history  [F]
As she br[G]ushed the remains
Of our l[F]ove from the b[C]ed
And w[C]hen she had turned back the [Am]covers
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
I said "[C]OK"        [F]                [C]                         [F]

4:50 (Go FIshing)

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]  "**** 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]

4:56 (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

4:58 Dunroamin Duncarin Dunlivin

[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
[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
[F#]Who's [F]always picking up the tab
Who built a bungalow for his mum and d[C]ad
Who t[F]ook you out to all the shows
Who worked his fingers to the b[C]one
While you were asl[G]eep
I kept you in buttons [F#]and b[F]ows
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
[F]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]

5:01 The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking

[A] [G] [C] [Am] [D] [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
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] [Am] [Dm] [Am] [C] [C/B] [Am] [G]

[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 *[D]**** 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]  These are the pros and cons of h[Em]itchhiking

5:06 (Every Stranger's Eyes)

 [C] Hello...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]   [C/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]   [C/B]       [Am]
[F]  Myself in [G]every stranger's [C]eyes

And n[C]ow from where[C/B] I s[Am]tand
Upon this [Dm]hill I plundered from the p[G]ool
I look ar[C]ound, I search t[C/B]he s[Am]kies
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    in str[Dm]ange familiar way[G]s
I recogn[C]ai[C/B]----[Am]ise...
[F]  The hope you k[G]indle in your ey[C]es   [F]

[C] [F] [G] [C] [Am] [Dm] [G]

[C]Its 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

5:11 (Moment Of Clarity)

And the m[C]oment of clarity
Faded like charity d[Am]oes
[Am]And sometimes

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.
