Chords

5 AM written and performed by David Gilmour Live version from 'David Gilmour Live At Pompeii' The video footage focuses on David Gilmour's playing so I'm sure of the fretboard positions the phrases are played in. Amongst the differences from the recorded version are that some phrases are played an octave higher (e.g. bars 11-12, 18-21), each bend in bar 13 and 15 is different and there are extra bars at the end which are not heard on the recording fade-out. Key Em. ~73 bpm Played using his Gibson Gold Top Les Paul
