This is an improvement of what's already at the archive, I fixed th
Intro part, which had many errors, and added the solo, which was not in
the original:
Wish You Were Here
by Pink Floyd
Sorry for the "rag-tag" look of this. I got part of it from Alt.guitar, and
did the rest myself. Oh well, here it is....

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?

slight variations on the same basic:

--10/12
and
--------12
--12/14--
themes!)

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...
