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....

So, so ya think you can tell
Am G D
heaven from hell, blue skies from pain, can you tell a green field
C Am G
from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do ya think ya can tell?
C D Am
did they get you to trade, your hero's for ghosts, hot ashes for trees
G D C
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?

Were just two lost soles simming in a fish bowl, year after year,
C Am
Running over the same old ground, but have we found the same old fears,
G
wish you were here
(guitar solo, played over intro fig.)
(This second guitar solo is almost identical to the first, with very
slight variations on the same basic:
--------10
--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...
