C                        D
So, so you think you can tell
            Am
Heaven from hell,
                G
Blue skies from pain
                      D
Can you tell a green field
                  C
From a cold steel rail,
               Am
A smile from a veil
                     G
Do you think you can tell?
                        C
And did they get you to trade
                D
Your heroes for ghosts,
              Am
Hot ashes for trees,
                G
Hot air for a cool breeze,
                 D
Cold comfort for change
                C
And did you exchange
                      Am
A walk on part in the war
                     G
For a lead role in a cage?


# Interlude: 
Em G Em G Em A Em A G (or Intro)

C
How I wish,
                    D
How I wish you were here
           Am
We're just two lost souls
                        G
Swimming in a fish bowl
                   D
Year after year
                                   C
Running over the same old ground

What have we found? 
              Am
The same old fears
               G
Wish you were here

Awesome! I personally added a 3 and a 5 on the A chord after the first 7.

Sounds really great. I've found a lot of episodes of the song that I was undable to understand by hearing.

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. They collaborated to complete the song, as Waters had already written some lyrics. Read more on Last.fm.
