ARNOLD LAYNE (Pink Floyd)
words & music by Syd Barrett
         G#                A            A
  (Note:  slide up fast to  then repeat )  
[Verse 1]
G# A            G# A      G       F#     F
    Arnold Layne    had a strange hobby.
E                      A         G       D     E
   Collecting clothes, moonshine washing line.
        D    C   A
   They suit him fine.
G# A           G# A       G       F#      F
    On the wall    hung a tall    mirror.
E                    A           G    D   E
   Distorted view,   see-through baby blue.
      D   C
   He dug it.
   G   D      A      C    G       D     C     G      D
   Oh, Arnold Layne, it's not the same, takes two to know.
   E            G            A
   Two to know, two to know, two to know.
                    D D G G E E A
   Why can't you see?
G# A              G# A            G# A
     Arnold Layne,   Arnold Layne,     Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne!
[Organ solo]
(guitar plays A)
[Verse 2]
G# A                G# A        G       F#      F
    Now he's caught,    a nasty sort of person.
E                       A             G     D    E
   They gave him time,  doors bang,   chain gang.
      D     C
   He hates it!       
   G   D      A      C    G       D     C     G      D
   Oh, Arnold Layne, it's not the same, takes two to know.
   E            G            A
   Two to know, two to know, two to know.
                    D D G G E E A
   Why can't you see?
G# A              G# A            G# A
     Arnold Layne     Arnold Layne    Arnold Layne
   A      G           E       A
   Arnold Layne don't do it again!
