Point Me At The Sky
- -------------------
Words and Music by Waters/Gilmour
C G F D
Hey Jean misses Henry McLean an' I finished my beautiful flying machine
C G
An' I'm ringing to say that I'm leaving
F D
An' maybe you'd like to fly with me and hide with me baby
C G F D
Isn't it strange how little we change, isn't it sad we're insane
C G
Playing the game that we know ends in tears
F D
The game we've been playing for thousands and thousands and thousands
F#m A
Jumps into his cosmic flyer, pulls his plastic collar higher
D C#
Light the fuse and stand well back, he cried, this is my last goodbye
D G
Point me at the sky and let it fly
D G
Point me at the sky and let it fly
D G A
Point me at the sky and let it fly....
C G F D
And if you survive 'till two thousand and five I hope you're exceedingly thin
C G
For if you are stout you will have to breathe out
F D
While the people around you breathe in, breathe in, breathe in
F#m A
People pressing on my sides is something that I hate
D C#
And so is sitting down to eat with only little capsules on my plate
D G
Point me at the sky and let it fly
D G
Point me at the sky and let it fly
D G A
Point me at the sky and let it fly...

All this love is all I am
Em Em9 Em
A ball is all I am
Em Em9 Em Em9
I'm so new compared with you
Em Em9 Em
And I am very small
Bm
Warm glow, moon glow

Always need a little more room
Bm
Waiting here seems like years
Em B7 Em
Never seen the light of day

All around I hear strange sounds

Seabirds
- --------
Words and Music by Roger Waters
E
Mighty waves come crashing down
The spray is lashing high into the eagle's eye
D
Shrieking as it cuts the devil wind, is calling sailors to the deep
A B D A
But I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
B D A
And I can see you smile
E
Surf is high an' the sea is awash
D
An' a haze of candy floss, glitter and beads
E
Rock that we sat on and watched in the sun
That was hot to touch
D
And the sea was emerald green
A B D A
I can hear the sound of seabirds in my ear
B D A
And I can see you smile
E
Surf comes rushing up the beach
Now will it reach the castle wall and will it fall
Catfish dappled silver flashing
D
Dogfish puffing bubbles in my deep.
Let There Be More Light
- -----------------------
Words and Music by Roger Waters
Far, far, far away, way
People heard him say, say
I will find a way, way
There will come a day, day
Something will be done
Cm Fm
Then at last the mighty ship descending on a point of flame
Cm Dm A Ab
Made contact with the human race at Mildenhall
Now, now, now is the time, time
Time to be, be, be aware
Cm Fm
Carter's father saw him there and knew the hull revealed to him
Cm Dm A Ab
The living soul of Hereward the Wake
Oh my, something in my eye, eye
Something in the sky, sky
Waiting there for me
Cm
The outer lock rolled slowly back
F
The servicemen were heard to sigh
Cm Dm A Ab
For there revealed in flowing robes was Lucy in the sky
Oh, oh, did you ever
No, no, never will they
I - I - I can't say
Cm
Summoning his cosmic powers
F
And glowing slightly from his toes
Cm Dm A Ab
His psychic emanations flowed.
See-Saw

Marigolds are very much in love

But he doesn't mind

Picking up sister he makes his way to see-saw land
E A
All the way she smiles
G F Em
She goes up as he goes down, down

Sits on a stick in the river

Laughter in his sleep

Sister's throwing stones

Hoping for a hit

He doesn't know

So there

She goes up while he goes down, down

Another time, another day

A brother's way to leave

Another time, another day

She'll be selling plastic flowers on a Sunday afternoon
Picking out weeds
She hasn't got the time to care

All can see he's not there

She grows up for another man,

And he's down

Grantchester Meadows
- --------------------
Words and Music by Roger Waters
E A E
Icey wind of night be gone this is not your domain
A E
In the sky a bird was heard to cry
A D E
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sound
A E
Belies a deathly silence that lay all around
A G F#m E
Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog-fox gone to ground
A G F#m E
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
A G F#m E
And the river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
A G F#m E
Laughing as it passes thru' the endless summer making for the sea
E A E
In the lazy water meadows I lay me down
A E
All around me golden sunflakes settle on the ground
A D
Basking in the sunshine of a by-gone afternoon
E A E
Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city doom.
Fat Old Sun
- -----------
Words and Music by Dave Gilmour
G D
When that fat old sun in the sky's falling
F C
Summer ev'ning birds are calling
G D
Summer Sunday and a year
F C
The sound of music in my ears
G
Distant bells
D
New mown grass smells
F C
Songs sweet
G D F C G
By the river holding hands
C Bm
And if you see, don't make a sound
Am G
Pick your feet up off the ground
C Bm
And if you hear as the wall night falls
Am Dm
The silver sound from a tongue so strange
Gm
Sing to me
Dm F D
Sing to me
D G D
When that fat old sun in the sky's falling
F C
Summer ev'ning birds are calling
G D
Children's laughter in my ears
F C G
The last song-light disappears.
