'The Final Cut' by Pink Floyd - Guitar Tutorial

            Pink Floyd - The Final Cut (Waters)


F                                          F/C   C
Through the fish-eyed lens of tear stained eyes____

      Bb add9                                   F
I can barely define the shape of this moment in time.

    F                                  F/C   C
And far from flying high in clear blue skies___,

    Bb add9                                           F
I'm spiralling down to the hole in the ground where I hide.


Bb                   F
If you negotiate the minefield in the drive,

Bb                                   F
And beat the dogs and cheat the cold electronic eyes,

Bb         C                    Dm
And if you make it past the shotgun in the hall,

Gm7
Dial the combination, open the priesthole

                   /C                                 F
And if I'm in I'll tell you what's behind the wall.


Am                                   F
There's a kid who had a big hallucination

Am                          C
Making love to girls in magazines.

   Bb                                   Dm
He wonders if you're sleeping with your new found faith.

Gm7
Could anybody love him

                /C          F      F/C  C  Bb add9  F
Or is it just a crazy dream___?


    F                     C
And if I show you my dark side

                    Bb   F
Will you still hold me tonight?

    F            C
And if I open my heart to you

                     Bb
And show you my weak side,

               F
What would you do?

Bb                                   F
Would you sell your story to Rolling Stone?

Bb
Would you take the children away

F
And leave me alone?

    Bb           C
And smile in reassurance

       Dm
As you whisper down the phone,

Gm7
Would you send me packing,

/C                   F
Or would you take me home?


Am  F  Am  C  Bb  Dm  Gm7  /C  F


Am                                 F
Thought I oughta bare my naked feelings,

Am                                C
Thought I oughta tear the curtain down.

  Bb
I held the blade in trembling hands,

   Dm                   Gm7
Prepared to make it but just then the phone rang,

                                        G      C  Bb add9  F
I never had the nerve to make the final cut.
