Roger Keith Barrett, mais conhecido como Syd Barrett (Cambridge, 6 de Janeiro de 1946 — Cambridge, 7 de Julho de 2006) foi um cantor, autor, produtor, guitarrista e pintor inglês, mais lembrado como um dos fundadores do Pink Floyd. Vieram de Barrett as principais ideias musicais e estilísticas daquela que, então, era uma banda de rock psicodélico, assim como o nome do grupo. Todavia, especulações sobre sua deterioração mental, agravada pelo exagerado uso de drogas, levaram à sua saída da banda, em 1968.

--------------------------------- IT'S NO GOOD TRYING - Syd Barrett --------------------------------- transcribed by Greg O'Beirne ([email protected])
(This is the solo acoustic version found on Track 15 of "The Madcap Laughs" disc of the Crazy Diamond box set. It was recorded on 11th April, 1969, at Abbey Road Studios, London. It's virtually the same chords that he played on "No Good Trying" on the original "The Madcap Laughs" album, but the bass on that track implies slightly different chords and spacings. All the chords on this version are to be played as standard E-form barre(tt) chords. Just adlib during the E section between each verse for a random number of bars...)
G It's no good trying to place your hand D where I can't see because I understand A that you're different from me
yes I can tell D that you can't be what you pretend G and you're rocking me backwards A# and you're rocking towards the CD red and yellow mane of a stallion horse.
E
G It's no good trying to hold your love D where I can't see because I understand A that you're different from me
yes I can tell D that you can't be what you pretend GA# the caterpillar hood won't cover the head of CD you know you should be home in bed.
E
G It's no good holding your sequin fan D where I can't see because I understand A that you're different from me
yes I can tell D that you can't be what you pretend GA# yes you're spinning around and around in a car CD with electric lights flashing very fast...
