Wish You Were Here (Waters, Gilmour)
------------------

C D
So, so you think you can tell,
Am G
Heaven from Hell, blue skys from pain.
D C Am
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil,

Do you think you can tell?

C D
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts,
Am G D
Hot ashes for trees, hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change,
C Am G
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

Em G Em G Em A Em A

C D
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
Am G D
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

Running over the same old ground. What have we found?

The same old fears. Wish you were here!
