Standard tuning
 
Note: I haven't included the lyrics/chords because that version is fine.
 
This tab is mainly for the various riffs and solo
 
Intro: (The first and last verses are played the same way for the chords)
 
G:                     Am:
 
e|-----------------     e|----------|
B|-----------------     B|----------|
G|-----------------     G|-----0h2--|
D|-------0h2-------     D|-0h2------|
A|---0h2-----0h2---     A|--------0-|
E|-3-------------3-     E|----------|
 
*This is approximate. Just play around with the chords, no strumming.
 
Chorus intro: (first and second times)
 
e|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|-3-2-0---------------|
 
then when he switches to D, do a little arpeggio thing like this, instead of strumming:
 
e|-2-----2-----|
B|---3-----3---|
G|-----2-----2-|
D|-------------|
A|-------------|
E|-------------|
 
Now, for the solo. It's very similar to Gilmour's other solos on The Final Cut album.
 
This one in particular is very "pinchy," as a lot of the bends are pinched a bit for the harmonic.

This is my first tab, I think it sounds okay, even though I don't have a great ear for
things.
 
This is a great song, and hopefully someone can take my tab and improve upon it. Let me
if you have any questions.
