This is a really simple song but it's also my first to figure out, so I may
have screwed up a couple of things. It sounds right, though.

(intro) Am
Am Bm
The path you tread is narrow and the drop is sheer and very high.
Am Bm
The ravens all are watching from a vantage point nearby.
Am Bm
Apprehension creeping like a choo-train up your spine.
Am Bm
Will the tightrope reach the end? Will the final cuplet rhyme?
C(addG) F C(addG) F
And it's high time Cymbaline it's high time Cymbaline.
Em
Please wake me.
Am Bm
A butterfly with broken wings is falling by your side.
Am Bm
The ravens all are closing in, there's nowhere you can hide.
Am Bm
Your manager and agent are both busy on the phone.
Am Bm
Selling colored photographs to magazines back home.
C(addG) F C(addG) F
And it's high time Cymabline it's high time Cymbaline.
Em
Please wake me.
Am Bm
The lines converging where you stand, they must have moved the picture plane.
Am Bm
The leaves are heavy around your feet you hear the thunder of the train.
Am Bm
Suddenly it strikes you that they're moving into range.
Am Bm
And Doctor Strange is always changing sides.
C(addG) F C(addG) F
And it's high time Cymbaline it's high time Cymbaline.
Em
Please wake me.
(then) Am Bm Am Bm Am Bm Am Bm
C(addG) F C(addG) F
And it's high time Cymbaline it's high time Cymabline.
Em
Please wake me.
(outro) Am Bm Am Bm Am Bm C(addG) Bm C(addG) F
C(addG) F Em...
...i'm too inept to do the rest, but i think you just repeat the outro
again. That's it.
Any corrections welcome!!!!!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PINK FLOYD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
