Pink Floyd - "Fat Old Sun" (Gilmour)
[Verse]
G                             D
When the fat old sun in the sky is falling,
F               C                 G
Summer evening birds are calling.
                    D
Summer Sunday and a year,
    F               C           G
The sound of music in my ears.
Distant bells,
D                      F        C
New-mown grass smells so sweet.
G            D
By the river holding hands,
F               C             G
Roll me up and lay me down.
[Chorus]
           C          Bm
And if you see, don't make a sound.
Am                G
Pick your feet up off the ground.
           C           Bm
And if you hear as the warm night falls
Am                      Dm
The silver sound from a tongue so strange,
Gm
Sing to me,
Dm            F   D
Sing to me.
[Verse]
D            G                   D
  When that fat old sun in the sky is falling,
F               C                 G
Summer evening birds are calling.
                    D
Children's laughter in my ears,
    F              C           G
The last sunlight disappears.
[Chorus]
           C          Bm
And if you see, don't make a sound.
Am                G
Pick your feet up off the ground.
           C           Bm
And if you hear as the warm night falls
Am                      Dm
The silver sound from a tongue so strange,
Gm
Sing to me,
Dm          F
Sing to me.
D          G                D  F  C
When that fat old sun ...
