WISH YOU WERE HERE - PINK FLOYD

Intro:

Em-G   Em-G   Em-Am7   Em-Am7   G G G G

C                                                   D

So,               so you think you can tell

                      Am                                G

Heaven from hell,      blue skies from pain,

                                D                                      C

can you tell a green field,     from a cold steel rail

                        Am                                           G

a smile from a veil          Do you think you can tell?

                               C

Did they get you to trade

                           D                                  Am

your heroes for ghosts     hot ashes for trees,

                      G                                                      D

hot air for a cool breeze            cold comfort for change

             C                                                  Am

did you exchange    a walk-on part in the war

                              G

for a lead role in a cage?

(Guitar riff like intro)

           C                                              D 

How I wish,        how I wish you were here

                  Am                                                          G

we're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl,    year after year,

D                                                     C

running over the same old ground,  what have we found,

                      Am                                G

The same old fears,    Wish you were here

(Guitar riff like intro and fade)
