Intro:
Three (3) times riff.
After first riff, supporting guitar playing
I don't have the other guitar solo. Too difficult for me.:)
Em - G - Em - G - Em - A - Em - A - G (covering whole riff)
1. Verse:
C D
So, so you think you can tell?
Am G
Heaven from hell? Blue skys from pain.
D C
Can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail
Am G
A smile from a vail? Do you think you can tell.
2. Verse:
G C
And did they get you to trade?
D Am
Your heroes for ghosts. Hot ashes for trees.
G
And hot air for a cool breeze.
D C
Cold comfort for change. And did you exchange
Am G
A 'walk on part in the war', for a lead role in the cage.
Interlude:
Riff 1 (one) time.
Chorus:
C D
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
Am
Were just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl.
G D
Year, after year. Running over the same old ground.
C Am G
What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.
Outtro:
Riff x2.
Optional:
Do like Roger! Sing. "ooooooooooooh. How I wish you were here..." several times.
at the same time as you play the riff one more time.
Enjoy!
