My band peformed this song on our first gig... I found only one tab online 
that wasn't good enough, so here's my very first bass tab ... 

comments/requests are welcome :-) 


Note: (Obviously) You can alternate between E:--5--- and A:--0-- and so on if you want.

Listen to the song to get a feel for the timing.

No Picture aleXeXeX Rhythm Player	#1 by aleXeXeX at Aug 29, 1976 at 4:53 AM EST
	its just recently that i've started listening to pink floyd, n this was their 1st song thati listened to. this is my all time fav. whenever i'm down in the dumps, this song is gauranteed to cheer me. in fact i can actually feel this song get onto my neurotransmitters n get them revved up.

	It is a song about the end of the cold war and the collapse of Soviet sattilite states in Eastern Europe. "Staring straight into the shining sun" is a definite elude to the east. It suggests that we, the west could have done more for the east at the conclusion of the second world war. In the interim period after the war and the collapse of communism, the heard our words, while we watched and did nothing as the Soviets invaded thier "Fraternal Socialists brothers" not once, but twice (Hungary 19956 and Czechloslavakia 1968), in the end freedom triumphed, but the sonfg is critical about paying lip service to ideals and not action. It was the inheriently corrupt nature of communism and the strength of the human spirit that triumphed in the east, not the idealism of democracy.

	I agree with what's been said above. I don't judge my PF fandom on stupid reasons. Specifically the post-Waters period vs. the Waters Period... I judge everything fairly and I absolutely agree that TDB is my fav album of them all. And it's not becuase I'm 16 and this is the only album that was squeezed out in my generation; I love all of floyd's works. It's all genious in some form or another. But its amazing when you compare TDB with say the Wall.. it's almost a totally different band. Coming Back to Life is my fav song after Poles Apart. like Animal Chin, it grabs by the balls and doesn't let go. The Divison Bell is full of its magic: Great Lyric + Amazing Sounds.
