Wish You Were Here Chords by Pink Floyd

[Verse 1]
C                         D/F#
So, so you think you can tell,
             Am/E                   G
Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
                     D/F#  
Can you tell a green field 
                    C                    Am
from a cold steel rail, a smile from a veil,
                      G
Do you think you can tell?
 
[Verse 2]
                      C       
Did they get you to trade your 
           D/F#  
heroes for ghosts,
                Am/E      
Hot ashes for trees, hot air 
         G                             D/F#
for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change,
                  C                
And did you exchange a walk on part 
       Am                          G
in the war for a lead role in a cage?

[Verse 3]

C                               D/F#
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
           Am/E                    
We're just two lost souls swimming 
                G
in a fish bowl, year after year,
D/F#                             
 Running over the same old ground. 
C
What have we found?
             Am                         G
The same old fears. Wish you were here!
