Your Possible Pasts by Pink Floyd
Your Possible Pasts
G Am
They flutter behind you your possible pasts,
C D G
Some brighteyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.
G Am
A warning to anyone still in command
C D G
Of their possible future, to take care.
G Am
In derelict sidings the poppies entwine
C D G
With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time.
Em
Do you remember me, how we used to be,
D
Do you think we shoud be closer?
G Am
She stood in the doorway, the ghost of a smile
C D G
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign.
G Am
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their macs
C D G
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs.
G Am
Stepping up boldly one put out his hand.
C D G
He said, "I was just a child then, now I'm only a man."
Em
Do you remember me, how we used to be,
D
Do you think we should be closer?
Em C Em C Em D C D Cmaj9
G Am
By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
C D G
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad.
G Am
Strung out behind us the banners and flags
C D G
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags.
Em
Do you remember me, how we used to be,
D
Do you think we should be closer?

version 2
Standard tuning
This tab is mainly for the various riffs and solo
Intro: (The first and last verses are played the same way for the chords)
G: Am:
e|----------------- e|----------|
B|----------------- B|----------|
G|----------------- G|-----0h2--|
D|-------0h2------- D|-0h2------|
A|---0h2-----0h2--- A|--------0-|
E|-3-------------3- E|----------|
*This is approximate. Just play around with the chords, no strumming.
Chorus intro: (first and second times)
e|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|-3-2-0---------------|
then when he switches to D, do a little arpeggio thing like this, instead of strumming:
e|-2-----2-----|
B|---3-----3---|
G|-----2-----2-|
D|-------------|
A|-------------|
E|-------------|
Now, for the solo. It's very similar to Gilmour's other solos on The Final Cut album.
This one in particular is very "pinchy," as a lot of the bends are pinched a bit for the harmonic.
