THE NILE SONG
Pink Floyd
(Waters)

 Intro: A  G  A  G  A  G  F#

 B                         A
    I was standing by the Nile
 B                       A
    Whe I saw the lady smile.
 B                               A     G#
    I would take her out for a while, for a while.

 C#                           B
    Light tears wept like a child.
 C#                                  B
    How her golden hair was blowing wild.
 C#                                B   A#
    Then she spread her wings to fly, for to fly.

 D#                          C#
    Soaring high above the breezes,
 D#                          C#
    Going always where she pleases.
 D#                          C#    C
    She will make it to the island in the sun.

 F                         D#
    I will follow in her shadow
 F                          D#
    As I watch her from my window.
 F                          D#    D
    One day I will catch her eye.

 solo: G  F  G  F  G  F  E
       A  G  A  G  A  G  F#

 B                           A
    She is calling from the deep,
 B                                 A
    Summoning my soul to endless sleep.
 B                           A      G#
    She is bound to drag me down, drag me down.

 final solo: C# B  C# B  C# B  A#
	     D# C# D# C# D# ... (fade out)
