Wish You Were Here chords
Pink Floyd 1975 (Wish You Were Here) *
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_You_Were_Here_(Pink_Floyd_album)
G Em G Em G Em A Em A G 2x
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?
          
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
G Em G Em G Em A Em A G 4x
