Wish You Were Here Pink Floyd
Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here (ver 5)
In memory of Michael David Winans
Modified by Matt Winans
This version is the one I play in memory of my brother, Michael David Winans who passed
on Feb. 5th, 2009.
It was his favorite song and he played this song himself quite often.
This is my first tab, and is modified from version 4 with a lot of errors fixed.
I replaced Solo 2 with the rhythm guitar because it's how I play the song and sounds decent.
I would encourage others to do the same unless you are as pro at bending acoustic
as David Gilmore.
Key:
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
/ - slide

[C]So, so you think you can tel[D]l
Heaven from He[AM]ll
Blue Skies from pai[G]n
Can you tell a green fi[D]eld
From a cold steel ra[C]il
A smile from a v[AM]eil
So you think you can te[G]ll
Did they get you to tra[C]de
Your heroes for ghos[D]ts
Hot Ashes for tree[AM]s
Hot air for a cool bre[G]eze
Cold comfort for cha[D]nge
Did you exchan[C]ge?
A walk on part in the [AM]war
For a lead role in a c[G]age

[C]How I wish, how I wish you were[D] here
We're just t[Am]wo lost souls swimming in a fish b[G]owl
Year after ye[D]ar.
Running over the[C] same old ground.
What have we found the same old fe[AM]ars
Wish you were he[G]re...
