PINK FLOYD: "The Nile Song"

from "More" (1969)

------------------------------------------------------

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)

------------------------------------------------------

... or with my way:

[A ,G]*3,[F#,F#] % for the next: A - B , G - A, ...

[B ,A]*3,[G#,G#] % for the next: B - C#, ...

[C#,B]*3,[A#,A#] % ... until the end of the song
