So, so ya think you can tell heaven from hell, blue skies from pain, can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do ya think ya can tell? did they get you to trade, your hero`s for ghosts, hot ashes for trees hot air for a cool breeze, cold comfort for change, did you exchange, a walk on part in the war, for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here, Were just two lost soles simming in a fish bowl, year after year, Running over the same old ground, but have we found the same old fears, wish you were here
(guitar solo, played over intro fig.) (This second guitar solo is almost identical to the first, with very slight variations on the same basic: and themes!)
all else: James B except Solo and Intro help: Andreas Sjolund

I never realized the nevada one didn`t have the solos, since I already knew it, I haven`t looked at them. Well, this is going to be the whole song (or the itnro anyway), but the solo is in there. It may not be perfect, this was tabbed from playing by ear, but it sounds good to me, and it`s how I`ve been playing it for a long time.
Enjoy...

This part is done with two guitars. One plays the first intro line and the lead part tabbed below comes in after the first bar. This is done consecutively four times.

My margins are screwed up as always but oh well. If you need any help or clarification just let me know.

Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here
So.. so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell...
Did they get you to trade Your heros for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk on part in the war For a lead role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here We`re just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year. Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here
