Album: The Wall (1979) / Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd (2001)

Now there's about three guitars that play in this song, an acoustic, and two electrics. The acoustic plays the verse and most of the rhythm part. The first electric is a bridge single coil, distorted to a decent level, playing the doomy Wall riff. The other guitar is also bridge distorted playing the solo.

Now, I think I've got a bit of the intro wrong; however, if you don't play that, what I have for you instead is I've figured out the underlying chords for it so you can just play them instead.
Intro (Guitar 1, acoustic)
Emin Bmin
E |-2----3--2--3-| |-0---1---0--|
B |---0----0-----| |---0---3----|
G |-----0----0---| |-----0---0--|
D |--------------| |------------|
A |--------------| |------------|
E |--------------| x2 |------------|x2

The intro (or the underlying chords, which is what I've marked over the lyrics) continues over part of the verse.

Emin Bmin
Hey You,
Emin
Out there in the cold, getting lonely getting old
Bmin
Can you feel me Hey you,
Emin
Standing in the aisles, with itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me

D G G/F# C
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
D C Emin
Don't give in without a fight

Same chords for the second verse, then it goes into the Wall riff/solo part.

Main riff - Guitar 2 (electric) - continues throughout solo

G |------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------|
D |------------------------------------------| |------------------------------------------|

E |-0 2 3 (1/4 bend to make a mini-drone)--2-|x4 |------------------------------------------|x4

Solo Guitar 3 (electric) This part of the solo is played in time with the main riff

Bridge (Guitar 1, acoustic)

C D G G/F# C
It was only fantasy
D G G/F# C
The wall was too high, as you can see
D G G/F# C
No matter how he tried, he could not break free
D C Emin
And the worms ate into his brain

Intro fingerpicked part

One more verse, and that's the end of the song.

Corrections on the intro and anything I missed in the solo would be appreciated - dynamitekid156@hotmail.com
