Gilmour David - Murder Chords

(replacement transcription)

MURDER

Words and Music By David Gilmour


Notes on Music:
  Letters in brackets [] are single bass notes.
  Question marks mean that I haven't figured out that part.
  Time signature is 3/4 or 6/8, depending on how you look at it.
  Strumming pattern >=down, <=up

Notes on Transcription:
  Based on Columbia Records/CBS recording "About Face",
  using CBS/Fox Video of David Gilmour In Concert for visual reference,
  This version is written as Gilmour plays it with a capo on the third
fret.
  I have also filled in several missing chords.
  If you have the chord changes for the bass solo and outro, please


(Capo on 3)

D                                Am         D
Some of them standing, some were waiting in line.
D                                   Am           [B]   C     [B]
As if there was something that they thought they might find.
Am                            Em            D           C     [B]
Taking some strength from the feelings that always were shared.
Am                         D              G
And in the background, the eyes that just stared.

D                           Am          D
What was it brought you out here in the dark?
D                       Am     [B]  C     [B]
Was it your only way of making your mark?
Am                         Em     D       C     [B]
Did you get rid of all the voices in your head?
Am                           D                G
Do you now miss them and the things that they said?


(Bass Solo)
F#m E D Bm E Bm...???...Bm  E

E                         Bm            E
On your own admission you raised up the knife.
E                               Bm           D     [C#]
And you brought it down ending another man's life.
Bm                        F#m   E        D
When it was done you just threw down the blade,
          Bm                              E         A
While the red blood spread wider like the anger you made.


  E                            Bm         E
I don't want this anger that's burning in me.
     E                            Bm         D     [C#]
It's something from which it's so hard to be free.
    Bm                        F#m    E         D
But none of the tears that we cry in sorrow or rage,
    Bm                      E             A
