Pink Floyd - The Wall (1979) - Track 14 - Hey You guitar tab
Tabber: Gareth Hughes
Song: Hey You
Artist: Pink Floyd
Album: The Wall (1979) / Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd (2001)
Now there's about three guitars that play in this song, an acoustic, and two electrics.
The acoustic plays the verse and most of the rhythm part. The first electric is a bridge
single coil, distorted to a decent level, playing the doomy Wall riff. The other guitar
is also bridge distorted playing the solo.
Now, I think I've got a bit of the intro wrong; however, if you don't play that, what I have
for you instead is I've figured out the underlying chords for it so you can just play them
instead.
Intro (Guitar 1, acoustic)
Emin Bmin
E |-2----3--2--3-| |-0---1---0--|
B |---0----0-----| |---0---3----|
G |-----0----0---| |-----0---0--|
D |--------------| |------------|
A |--------------| |------------|
E |--------------| x2 |------------|x2
The intro (or the underlying chords, which is what I've marked over the lyrics) continues
over part of the verse.
Emin Bmin
Hey You,
Emin
Out there in the cold, getting lonely getting old
Bmin
Can you feel me Hey you,
Emin
Standing in the aisles, with itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me
D G G/F# C
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
D C Emin
Don't give in without a fight
Same chords for the second verse, then it goes into the Wall riff/solo part.

C D G G/F# C
It was only fantasy
D G G/F# C
The wall was too high, as you can see
D G G/F# C
No matter how he tried, he could not break free
D C Emin
And the worms ate into his brain
Intro fingerpicked part
One more verse, and that's the end of the song.
Corrections on the intro and anything I missed in the solo would be appreciated - dynamitekid156@hotmail.com
