A little while ago, someone wrote in requesting tabs for some Pink
Floyd songs, among them Pigs on the Wing, parts One and Two. Well,
here you go. Its a simple song, really; just strumming chords,
though I like the arrangement alot. The chords used are, with a
couple of exceptions, basic garden-variety ones, and are shown below:
G Gsus4 G(frm2) C Csus4 A Am A7 D
E --3-- --3-- ----- --0-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --3-- --2--
B --3-- --3-- --0-- --1-- --1-- --2-- --1-- --2-- --3--
G --0-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --2-- --2-- --2-- --2--
D --0-- --0-- --0-- --2-- --3-- --2-- --2-- --2-- --0--
A --2-- --3-- ----- --3-- --X-- --0-- --0-- --0-- -----
E --3-- --X-- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
E --3-- --1-- --0-- <-----| This chord that I call Am7/B is probably not
B --3-- --1-- --1---------| really called by that name, but for the sake
G --2-- --2-- --0---------| of labelling, I'll call it that.
D --0-- --3-- --2---------|
A ----- --3-- --2---------|
E ----- --1-- ------------|
The intro consists of just playing alternating G and C major chords.
For the pattern, just listen to the song. Here's the main part. As
this is the first time I've tried to notate something like this on a
computer, please forgive the clutter.
If you didn't care
what happened to me
And I didn't care
G Gsus4 G A G(frm2) A G(frm2)
For you. We would zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain. Occasionally glancing
up through the rain Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing.
Part 2 is the same chords played to new lyrics, with the rhythm
varied a bit in some parts, but just by listening, one can pick them
up quickly. Hope everyone enjoys.
