Pink Floyd - Nobody Home

pink floyd , nobody home

a bit of a tidy up on previous versions where the chord changes weren’t in quite the
right positions , plus a bit of tweaking where a few chords were missing , i believe . i
particularly like to play this on piano too ( the intro is beautiful and isn’t hard to
work out ) . if playing on the piano , it sounds better if , after ” . . . powers of observation” and
” . . . nowhere to fly to” , you substitute A C/B for the E7 ( i . E . C , C/B , Am instead of C ,
E7 , Am ) . noodling around with a few embellishing runs sound great , even if they’re not
perfectly true to the original song .
