[C]So, so ya think you can t[D]ell
heaven from h[Am]ell, blue skies from [G]pain, can you tell a green[D] field
from a cold steel [C]rail? A smile from a [Am]veil? Do ya think ya can [G]tell?
did they get you to [C]trade, your hero's for g[D]hosts, hot ashes for t[Am]rees
hot air for a co[G]ol breeze, cold comfort for [D]change, did you ex[C]change,
a walk on part in the [Am]war, for a lead role in a ca[G]ge?

[C]How I wish, how I wish you were [D]here,
Were just [Am]two lost soles simming in a fish bow[G]l, year after year,[D]
Running over the same old ground[C], but have we found the same old [Am]fears,
wish you were h[G]ere

slight variations on the same basic:
