Nobody Home Chords

   
Pink Floyd, Nobody Home

A bit of a tidy up on previous versions where the chord changes weren't in quite the
right positions, plus a bit of tweaking where a few chords were missing, I believe. I
particularly like to play this on piano too (the intro is beautiful and isn't hard to 
work out). If playing on the piano, it sounds better if, after "...powers of observation" and
"...nowhere to fly to", you substitute a C/B for the E7 (i.e. C, C/B, Am instead of C, 
E7, Am). Noodling around with a few embellishing runs sound great, even if they're not 
perfectly true to the original song.
