G C D
So, so you think you can tell

Am G D
heaven from hell, blue sky from pain. Can you tell a green field, from a

C Am G
cold steel rail, a smile from a vail? Do you think you can tell?

C D Am
Did they get you trade, your heros for ghosts, hot ashes for trees, hot air

G D C
from a cool breeze, cold comfort for change, did you exchange, a walk on

Am G

Fill1 is played here again along with the solo.

How I wish, how I wish you were here.

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.
