PINK FLOYD: «The Nile Song»
from «More» (1969)
——————————————————
intro: A G A G A G F#
B A
I was standing by the Nile
B A
Whe I saw the lady smile.
B A G#
I would take her out for a while, for a while.
C# B
Light tears wept like a child.
C# B
How her golden hair was blowing wild.
C# B A#
Then she spread her wings to fly, for to fly.
D# C#
Soaring high above the breezes,
D# C#
Going always where she pleases.
D# C# C
She will make it to the island in the sun.
F D#
I will follow in her shadow
F D#
As I watch her from my window.
F D# D
One day I will catch her eye.
solo: G F G F G F E
A G A G A G F#
B A
She is calling from the deep,
B A
Summoning my soul to endless sleep.
B A G#
She is bound to drag me down, drag me down.
final solo: C# B C# B C# B A#
D# C# D# C# D# … (fade out)

… or with my way:
[A ,G]*3,[F#,F#] % for the next: A -> B , G -> A, …
[B ,A]*3,[G#,G#] % for the next: B -> C#, …
[C#,B]*3,[A#,A#] % … until the end of the song
