More songs by Pink Floyd


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

F#m                                     A
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
E                                         F#m
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
F#m                                         A
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
E                                                F#m
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

        Dmaj7
        Tired of lying in the sunshine
        Amaj7
        Staying home to watch the rain
            Dmaj7
        And you are young and life is long
            Amaj7
        And there is time to kill today
   Dmaj7
        And then one day you find
   C#m
        Ten years have got behind you
        Bm
        No one told you when to run
   E
        You missed the starting gun

F#m    A      E      F#m
F#m    A      E      F#m
F#m    A      E      F#m
F#m    A      E      F#m
Dmaj7  Amaj7  Dmaj7  Amaj7
Dmaj7  C#m    Bm     E

        F#m                                             A
And you run & you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
    E                                    F#m
And racing around to come up behind you again
    F#m                                          A
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
E                                       F#m
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

        Dmaj7
        Every year is getting shorter
        Amaj7
        Never seem to find the time
        Dmaj7
        Plans that either come to naught
           Amaj7
        Or half a page of scribbled lines
        Dmaj7
        Hanging on in quiet
              C#m
        Desperation is the English way
            Bm
        The time is gone, the song is over
        Bm                    F/B
        Thought I'd something more to say


            Em             A    Asus4
               Home, home again
            Em                          A    Asus4
               I like to be here when I can
            Em                           A    Asus4
               When I come home cold and tired
                    Em                               A   Asus4
               It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

                      Cmaj7
                      Far away across the field
                          Bm
                      The tolling of the iron bell
                      Fmaj7
                      Calls the faithful to their knees
                         G               Dm7    Ab7/Eb  Bm
                      To hear the softly spoken magic   spells
