I've been trying to get this Pink Floyd song right for ages but with no success. I've seen loads of tabs and they're all different at the same part, after the C chord.

I'm wondering if anyone has some tabs that they've tried and know are right. Much appreciated.

PS: I'm a beginner, only been playing a few months.

Thanks again.

I've got a book that's right, but unfortunately I can't post it here. If you let me know which bit aren't you sure about, I can look at it.

Alternatively, play the one the sounds right to you!

Well basically the whole intro is an Am chord and you simply move your pinky around. The Intro is played twice (with a little variation the second time) and then you come accross a C chord. That's the point I'm stuck in, those 8 bars where the song climaxes before going back to the intro again.

Chord-wise, those eight bars are:

C G/B Am Am C C Am (no chord)

I don't much fancy typing all the tab out, but if you want to paste in one of your suspect ones, I'll correct it for you.

E|---------0-------- |----------0 -----|--- ----0-------|-----------------|

D|---2-----------2--|---0-------------|---2-------------|-----------------|
A|-3----------------|-2---------------|-0---------------|-----------------|
E|----------------- -|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|

It's not aligned right but all the notes are in the right order.

Obviously the first bar here is not problem but the others I'm not so sure about.

Thanks btw.

Here are the four bars you posted, modified to be the same as the book. Let me see if I can make this thing format it right....

E|---------0--------|
B|-------1---1------|
G|-----0-------0----|
D|-2-2-----------2--|
A|-3----------------|
E|------------------|


|-----------0------|
|-------1/3----3-1-|
|-----0------------|
|---0--------------|
|-2----------------|
|------------------|


|---------0-------|
|-------0---0-----|
|-2---2-------2/5-|
|-2-2-------------|
|-0---------------|
|-----------------|


|------------------|
|-5---3/1-1-0-0----|
|--/4-4/2-2-0-0--0-|
|------------------|
|------------------|
|------------------|

I don't know what people normally do, but I've put a '/' between the notes where you're supposed to slide. If you want the next four, give me your version and I'll do the same.

You're welcome. I used to play that one when I was just starting out, but that's so long ago I'd forgotten all about it. Thanks for the reminder. :)
