C D Am G
So, so you think you can tell, heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain?
D C Am
Can you tell a green field, from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
G C D
Do you think you can tell? 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...
(guitar solo - repeat intro)
C D
How I wish, how I wish you were here
Am G D
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year
C Am
Running over the same old ground, what have we found - the same old fears?
G
Wish you were here
INTRODUCTION
(Well my version of it-you'll have to work out the solo yourself-I
only play this one on my own so the actual solo sounds a bit suspect!)

This sounds pretty good, not the actual sheet
music version but fits very well with the above chords!!!!!
The actual music is in another key, lots of sus chords which is
practically the same sound as above!!!!
