Pink Floyd – Nobody Home
from the album, The Wall
I've seen some crappy and unfinished chords/tabs on this song, and
I figured it deserved just a bit more justice.
The song is absolutely beautiful, and very simple to play.
I suggest playing along with the song to get the chords and rhythm down.
Standard tuning.
