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
To reach for the pie in the sky
                          Cm      
Go fishing my boy!

We set out in the spring
                                 D
With a trunk full of books about everything
      Bsus4
About solar devices
                       D
And how nice natural childbirth is
   Cdim
We cut down some trees

And we trailed our ideals
            Bsus4          B
Through the forest glade
   Cdim
We dammed up the stream

And the kids cooled their heels
       Bsus4                     B
In the fishing pool we'd made
Em                    Em/D
  We held hands and we  exchanged bands
         C                        D
And we practically lived off the land
     Bsus4
You adopted a fox cub
                             D
Whose mother was somebody's coat
   Bsus4
You fed him by hand

And then snuggled him down
         D
In the grandfather bed while I wrote
   Cdim
We grew our own maize
                        Bsus4
And I only occasionally went into town
    Cdim
To stock up on antibiotics
                    Bsus4                B
And shells for the shotgun that I kept around
   Em                        Em/D
I told the kids stories while you worked your loom
         C                         D
And the sun went down sooner each day.

       *Chapter six in which Eeyore has a birthday
         C
        And gets two presents
              D   G
        Daddy...come on dad

        Eeyore the old grey donkey stood by the side
                  C
        Of the stream and he looked at himself in the water
                               D
        "Pathetic" he said, "That's what it is"
Bsus4 B    D        
        "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
       D
It was over
       Bsus4
As the first snowflakes fell
                        D
I realized all was not well in the camp
    Cdim
The kids caught bronchitis
                            Bsus4   B
The space heater ran out of diesel
     Cdim
One weekend a friend from the East,
                         Bsus4  B
Rot his soul, stole your heart
       Em
I said   "Fuck it then
         Em/D
Take the kids back to town
 C                   D
Maybe I'll see you around"

Am7           G
   And so...leaving all our hopes and dreams
        C           Am7      D
To the wind and the rain
       G
Taking only our stash
         Am7          G
Left our litter and trash
     C
And set out on the road again
G/B        Am7    G
    On the road again
                          C
    On the road again
            D G    Em
    On the road 

        Bye Bye Daddy, Bye Daddy
        Em
