Well, I spent an enjoyable hour or so in front of the CD player last
night. Actually I already knew a couple of these ones. Here are the
results of my efforts. Since I have done this by ear, there may be a few
mistakes. Also I am typing this up at work from memory, so there could
be more mistakes. Also I pray vi has not put any tab spaces in (I don't
think so). Anyway, enough disclaimers.
Enjoy, everybody,

[G] You say the hill's too steep to climb [C] [Bb]
[G] Climb it. [C] [Bb]
[G] You say you'd like to see me try [C] [Bb]
[G] Climbing. [C] [Bb]
[A] You pick the place and I'll choose the [D] time
And I'll [G] climb
That hill in my [C] own way.
[G] Just wait a while for the [C] right day.
[G] And as I rise above the tree [C] lines and the clouds
I look [D] down, in the [C] sound of the things you said to[G]day.

"Echoes" (Waters, Wright, Mason, Gilmour)
(This is easier to play transposed down a tone, but this is the key on
the record)
[C#m] Overhead the albatross
[G#m] Hangs motionless upon the air
[F#m] And deep beneath the rolling waves
[G#] In labyrinths of coral caves
[C#m] An echo of a distant time
[G#m] Comes willowing across the sand
[F#m] And everything is green and subma[G#]rine.
[C#] And no one called us to the land
[G#] And no one knows the where's or why's.
[F#m] Something stirs and something tries
[G#] Starts to climb to[A]ward the light.

"Cymbaline" (Waters)
Intro
||: Em D | Em D :||
[Am] The path you tread is narrow
[Bm] And the drop is shear and very high
[Am] The ravens all are watching
[Bm] From a vantage point nearby
[Am] Apprehension creeping
[Bm] Like a tube-train up your spine
[Am] Will the tightrope reach the end;
[Bm] Will the final couplet rhyme
And it's [C] high time
[F] Cymbaline
It's [C] high time
[F] Cymbaline
Please [Em] wake me
