From: Michael Uzquiano 
Subject: TAB: "Out of the Blue" by David Gilmour

Out of the Blue - by David Gilmour                 Tabbed by Michael Uzquiano
from the "About Face" solo album.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my first attempt at tabbing a song, so please excuse any mistakes
that I may have made. Gilmour does a wonderful job with this song - quite
a lot of keyboard fillers and synthesization is used to create the musical
effect, but I've provided the chord changes, so it should be pretty easy
to piece together and play on either piano or guitar.

Note: I put the chords above the word to play on. However, since the song
is slow tempo, you'll have to hear the song to know where to play the chord
inside of the lyric.
