"Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking" Waters CHORDS When I play this, it sounds pretty good when you embellish slightly on the C, Am, and G chords (for instance I'll just hammer-on the D string for the C & Am, and on the A for the G chord. Listen to the record and you'll hear what I mean). INTRO: C Am Dm G VERSE:

   C
In truck stops, and hamburger joints,

Am
   In Cadillac limosuines, in the company of

Dm
Has-beens and bent-backs

G
  And sleeping forms on pavement steps,

   C
In libraries and railway stations,

Am
   In books and banks,

Dm
   In the pages of history

    G                                   C Am
And suicidal cavalry attacks I recognize

F           G                C
  Myself in every stranger's eyes.

       C
And in wheelchairs by monuments,

Am
   Under tube trains, commuter accidents,

Dm
   In council care and county courts,

G
  At Easter fairs and sea-side resorts,

C
  In drawing rooms and city morgues,

                 Am
In award-winning photographs of life-rafts on the China Seas,

   Dm
In transit camps, under arc lamps, on unloading ramps,

G                                               C Am
  And faces blurred by rubber stamps I recognize

F           G                C
  Myself in every stranger's eyes.

    C                 Am               Dm                            G
And now, from where I stand, upon this hill I've plundered from the pool

        C                   Am     Dm                      G
I look around, I search the sky, I shade my eyes so nearly blind

              C                C/G      Am                      F
And I've seen sights of half-remembered days, I hear bells that chime in

strange,

                     G
        familiar ways

           C Am F             G              C    F G Em Am Dm G
I recognize      the hope you kindle in your eyes

C                             F               G
  It's oh, so easy now, as we lie here in the dark

Em Am Dm Nothing interferes, it's obvious how to beat the tears that threaten to snuff out the

        G            C     CCC
        smoke of our love.
