Well, I spent an enjoyable hour or so in front of the CD player last
night. Actually I already knew a couple of these ones. Here are the
results of my efforts. Since I have done this by ear, there may be a few
mistakes. Also I am typing this up at work from memory, so there could
be more mistakes. Also I pray vi has not put any tab spaces in (I don't
think so). Anyway, enough disclaimers.
Enjoy, everybody,

"Echoes" (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour)
(This is easier to play transposed down a tone, but this is the key on
the record)
C#m Overhead the albatross
G#m Hangs motionless upon the air
F#m And deep beneath the rolling waves
G# In labyrinths of coral caves
C#m An echo of a distant time
G#m Comes willowing across the sand
F#m And everything is green and submaG#rine.
C# And no one called us to the land
G# And no one knows the where's or why's.
F#m Something stirs and something tries
G# Starts to climb toAward the light.

"Cymbaline" (Waters)
Intro
||: Em D | Em D :||
Am The path you tread is narrow
Bm And the drop is shear and very high
Am The ravens all are watching
Bm From a vantage point nearby
Am Apprehension creeping
Bm Like a tube-train up your spine
Am Will the tightrope reach the end;
Bm Will the final couplet rhyme
And it's C high time
F Cymbaline
It's C high time
F Cymbaline
Please Em wake me
