Then the chords and the lyrics come in.

G CSo, so you think you can tDell

heaven from haell, blue sky from paGin. Can you tell a green fiDeld, from a

cold steel raCil, a smile from a vaail? Do you think you can teGll?

Did they get you tCrade, your heros for ghDosts, hot ashes for tarees, hot air

from a cooGl breeze, cold comfort for chaDnge, did you exchCange, a walk on

the part of the waar, for a lead role in the cGage.



Fill1 is played here again along with the solo.
the solo will be added soon, i haven't yet perfected it yet.


HCow i wish, how i wish you were heDre. We're just atwo lost souls swimming

in a fish bowl,G year after year.D Running over the same old ground,C but have

we found the same old feaars, wish you were heGre.

second solo played, very identical to the first solo, with a few alterations.
i will add that also
