So, so you think you can tell
Am G Dheaven from hell, blue sky from pain. Can you tell a green field, from a
cold steel rail, a smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
C D AmDid they get you trade, your heroes for ghosts, hot ashes for trees, hot air
G D Cfrom a cool breeze, cold comfort for change, did you exchange, a walk on
the part of the war, for a lead role in the cage.

How i wish, how i wish you were here. We're just two lost souls swimming
G D Cin a fish bowl, year after year. Running over the same old ground, but have
we found the same old fears, wish you were here.
Among the most played songs 'Wish You Were Here' has a melody to thrill and a plain text but that is not easily forgotten.
