Tuning:

Tabber: Gaz Hughes Artist: Pink Floyd Song: Learning to Fly Album: A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987) Now this song is actually layer upon layer of different sounds, and very eighties sounding it is; however, strip it down and you see that it’s actually just based around basic open chords. It’s amazing what people can come up with from the same chords people use every day! Intro/Verse This actually excluding the riff is just G and then E minor. Once you know the rhythm, it’s fairly easy.

^GInto the distance, a ribbon of black ^EminStretched to the point of no turning back ^GA flight of fancy on a windswept field ^EminStanding alone my senses reeled

Verse Chorus 2

^CA soul in tension that’s learning to fly^Amin ^FCondition grounded but determined to try^C ^CCan’t keep my eyes from the circling ski^Amines ^FTongue tied and twisted just an^C earthbound misfit, I ^D

I’ve not tabbed the solos yet, unfortunately, I’ll do that later.
