Versions (3)

Auto-scroll

Recorded in 2006 at the AOL Sessions David Gilmour and friends including Richard Wright on Hammond Keyboards and Guy Pratt on bass. Tab by bass50611. Although based on Mr Pratt's recording my tab is not exact especially in the acoustic guitar solo. Bass fills as I see them. Song is on YouTube. [Intro 14 Bars of Division Bell and Piano – No Bass.
