Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here Added to UG By Mikhailo (mikhailo_@mail.ru) ______________________________________________ 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, G 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, C Running over the same old ground. What have we found? Am G The same old fears. Wish you were here! Em G Em G Em A Em A G
About the artist behind Wish You Were Here Chords:
Pink Floyd had moderate mainstream success and were one of the most popular bands in the London underground music scene in the late 1960s as a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett; however, Barrett's erratic behaviour eventually forced his colleagues to replace him with guitarist and singer David Gilmour. After Barrett's departure, singer and bass player Roger Waters gradually became the dominant and driving force in the group in the late-1970s, until his eventual departure from the group in 1985. The band recorded several albums, achieving worldwide success with The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Wish You Were Here (1975), Animals (1977), and The Wall (1979). In 1985, Waters declared Pink Floyd "a spent force", but the remaining members, led by Gilmour, continued recording and touring under the name Pink Floyd. Although they were unsuccessfully sued by Waters for rights to the name, they again enjoyed worldwide success with A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) and The Division Bell (1994). Eventually they reached a settlement out of court with Waters allowing them use of the name. Waters performed with the band for the first time in 24 years on 2 July 2005 at the London Live 8 concert.
