C                         D
So, so you think you can tell,
             Am                   G
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
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?

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.

While the notes are right, the switching of key during the intro doesn't really work well. Therefor 7/10

About this song: Wish You Were Here

"Wish You Were Here" is the title track on Pink Floyd's 1975 album Wish You Were Here. The song's lyrics encompass writer Roger Waters' feelings of alienation from other people. Like most of the album, it refers to former Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett and his breakdown. The main riff came to David Gilmour while playing his acoustic guitar in Abbey Road Studios. Gilmour then demonstrated the riff to Waters, who was impressed.
