Artist/Band: Pink Floyd 
Album: 'Dark Side of the Moon' (1973)
Tab by: Ron Perlas 

============(Chords Used)=================================================

F#m , Dmaj7 , A or A7 (optional)

E , C#m , Bm or Bm7 , Em , Cmaj7

(Fmaj7 with E bass note or F), G , D , Dm , Bm7 , C#m , Bm , Bm7 and
some fancy jazz chords? D7#9 and D7b9.
*Note: Also when after F#m play A and then A4 chord then... E. Repeat.

(That's pretty much the main rhythm.)

Tips: in the end when you're playing Fmaj7 instead of going to G, I prefer using Gmaj7, I think that's when 
you play a Fmaj7 shape, but you drag it 2 up the fret. Same shape.

                           *(Not in order)*
==========================================================================

(Intro: with the clock & percussions)

[Verse I]
F#m                                        A  A7
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
E                                        F#m
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
                                               A   A7
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
E                                           F#m
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Dmaj7                           A
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
Dmaj7                           A
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
Dmaj7                      C#m7
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
Bm7                          E                      F#m
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun!

========================================================================================================
                   Bm7                                                      E                         F#m

F#m                                                     A     A7
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking.
E                                 F#m
Racing around to come up behind you again
                                                  A
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
E                                        F#m
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Dmaj7                          A
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Dmaj7                                A
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Dmaj7               C#m7
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
   Bm7                                D                Dm          Em
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

*(Strum D and Dm) If you'd like...*

============================================(Breathe Reprise)============================================

A|-----0------2h------------------------------|

Em       A7 & Asus4 & A7
Home, home again
Em                    A7 with Asus4
I like to be here when I can
Em                    A7      Asus4
When I come home cold and tired.
Em                                 A7
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Cmaj7
Far away, across the field
Bm
The tolling of the iron bell
F or Fmaj7
Calls the faithful to their knees
G or Gmaj7      D7#9   D7b9        Bm
To hear the softly spoken magic spell.   **(D7#9 and D7b9 both strum it and end the song with Bm)

Hi my name is Ron. If you have any questions or correction please leave them below!
I understand this song is kinda tricky especially the chords. I would love to
reply to your comments. This song probably took me about 2-3 hours to make. I created this
tab because most of the tabs out there have missing & wrong chords. PLEASE LEAVE A RATING!
Remember this song requires practice! Never give up! Cheers! :D

-Ron
