Burning Bridges by Pink Floyd
Written by Roger Waters and Richard Wright
Off Obscured By Clouds (1972)
I noticed no one had really ever made a complete tab for this song so here it is. Standard tuning.
All vibratos are slow ones and note range is wide (wide vibratos?)

Verse:
G                       F
Bridges burning gladly, merging with the shadows,
D
Flickering between the lines.
Bb                      F
Stolen moments floating softly on the air,
C                         G
Born on wings of fire and climbing higher.
Ebmaj7                                             Dbmaj7 
Ancient bonds are breaking, moving on and changing sides.
Ebmaj7                                      Dbmaj7 
Dreaming of a new day, cast aside the other way.
Ab                                             G
Magic visions stirring, kindled by and burning flames rise in her eyes.

Play Intro Chords without the added little notings over the Solo

Solo:

e|-------------------------------------------10v-10vv-8-9-10--10vv--------------------|
B|-15p12------------------------------------------------------------12----------------|
G|-------14b15-12-12vv-11-9-10--11vv-8-9--10----------------------------12------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------11-9-10-8-9|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Here the actual solo ends and the wailing sound sound starts (1:50) which i assume is a
slide guitar but can be played with a normal one,
let each note go for about 2 seconds the transitions note to note slow:

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-12-12b13r12p11-11b12r11p10-12b13r12p11--11vv-10b11r10-11b12r11p10h-11-12vv-|

Verse 2:
    Ebmaj7                                           Dbmaj7
The door that stands ajar, the walls that once were high.
  Ebmaj7                                     Dbmaj7
Beyond the gilded cage, beyond the reach of ties.
    Ab
The moment is at hand.
                       G
She breaks the golden band.
