Then you play the chords..the Master Rhythm is D DDUUD DUD

C                        D
So, so ya think you can tell
             Am                   G                         D
heaven from hell, blue skies from pain, can you tell a green field
                  C                    Am                       G
from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do ya think ya can tell?
                    C                       D                     Am
did they get you to trade, your hero's for ghosts, hot ashes for trees
                G                           D                 C
hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change, did you exchange, 
                      Am                          G
a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage?

After that, the beggining is played behind this solo

---10/12-------10/12-----------------12-------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------

After that, you play more chords

C                               D
How I wish, how I wish you were here,
          Am                                  G                  D
Were just two lost soles simming in a fish bowl, year after year,
                                C                                Am
Running over the same old ground, but have we found the same old fears,
               G
wish you were here

Then play the intro and fade out....

ENJOY, HAVE FUN, AND ROCK ON
