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.

When you play the 'C F  C' parts, just play two quick downward strums of F.
