Porcupine Tree - Trains guitar tab

Porcupine Tree - Trains (acoustic gtr)

Tabbed by mac - q000se@hotmail.com

Comments and corrections are most welcome.

I made this tab because I found all the other tabs for trains too minimalistic or inaccurate.

I'm not completely certain on a few strums or which exact strings to strum, but I feel

is

quite accurate. This is my first tab, I hope it helps someone.

Standard tuning, capo at the 5th fret.

I used x's to mark the beat the best I could, but you're probably better off playing along

with the song rather than trying to read the rhythm off a tab.

==============================================================================================

|------------

| MAIN RIFF (Verse)

|------------

Train set and match spied under the blind

Shiny and contoured the railway winds

And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed

|------------

| PRE-CHORUS

|------------

The hiss of the train at the railway head

|------------

|------------

| CHORUS

|------------

Always the summers are slipping away

Find me a way for making it stay

|------------

|------------

| MAIN RIFF (Verse)

|------------

A 60 ton angel falls to the earth

A pile of old metal, a radiant blur

|------------

| PRE-CHORUS

|------------

Scars in the country, the summer and her

|------------

|------------

| CHORUS

|------------

When I hear the engine pass

I'm kissing you wide

The hissing subsides

I'm in luck

When the evening reaches here

You're tying me up

I'm dying of love

It's OK

|------------
