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