Nobody Home Chords & Lyrics by Pink Floyd
Nobody Home
guitar chords lyrics
Pink Floyd, Nobody Home
A bit of a tidy up on previous versions where the chord changes weren't in quite the
right positions, plus a bit of tweaking where a few chords were missing, I believe. I
particularly like to play this on piano too (the intro is beautiful and isn't hard to
work out). If playing on the piano, it sounds better if, after "...powers of observation" and
"...nowhere to fly to", you substitute a C/B for the E7 (i.e. C, C/B, Am instead of C,
E7, Am). Noodling around with a few embellishing runs sound great, even if they're not
perfectly true to the original song.

I've got a little black book with my poems in.

When I'm a good dog, they sometimes throw me a bone in.

On the telephone to you

There'll be nobody home.

I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm.

And the inevitable pinhole burns

All down the front of my favourite satin shirt.

I've got nicotine stains on my fingers.

I've got a silver spoon on a chain.

I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains.

And I've got a strong urge to fly.

But I got nowhere to fly to.

Ooooh, Babe when I pick up the phone

I've got a pair of Gohills boots

And I got fading roots.
