This is the title track from The Final Cut album, their last with Waters. I noticed the
on the internet technically had the right chords, but didn't know that this song played
a capo on the 3rd fret. This simplifies it quite a bit I think.  If you can't hit the 
notes with your voice, you can use these chords and not the capo.
