Chords for Billy Corgan Covers Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” on the Stern Show

[E] Billy, talk about Pink Floyd for a second because I asked you to do a cover today
And why is Pink Floyd and why is this song important to you?
I think this is the first song that ever really landed with me personally
If that makes any sense, like I felt like this person is if I could write a song
This is the song I wished I'd write and the great irony is that when I inducted Pink Floyd in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
This is actually the song I played with him on stage, which is even more of a crazy mind-blowing thing
So but this was the first song it was like wow this person's singing for me not singing about somebody like me
This person's singing for me.
So this song is always really connected with me in a personal way
Well, love to hear it.
Love to hear your [A] take on it

Your [D] hair out for _ ghosts, hot [Am] ashes for trains
Hot [G] air for a cool breeze, cold [D] comfort for change
Did [C] you exchange a [G] walk on [Am] pine in the fall
Lead rope [G] in a cage

We're [Am] just two lost souls swimming in a [G] fishbowl
Year after year
[D] Running over the same old [C] ground
And how we found [G] the [Am] same old fears
[A] Wish you [G] were here

That's one of those songs you said when your grandmother was dying
That you listened to over and over again.
Somehow got you through it
Yeah, that's why when people tell me that about my songs I take it very seriously
Because I really know what that feels like.
How one song can really keep you from jumping off a roof
So it's always, and it sounds like a weird thing to say, but it's probably the greatest compliment you can get
Because you think like wow, it didn't just do something like get somebody down the road
Like it actually kept them on the side of sanity or something
