Wake as Gun I

guitar tabs lyrics

Porcupine Tree

"Wake As Gun" by Porcupine Tree from the previously rare "Insignificance" released in 1997.
Now available as a bonus disc with the 1996 album "Signify".

TUNING: Drop D (DADGBe)

The only reason this song is in Drop D is because of a hammer on from D to E on the first chord.
If you want, you can just ignore that hammer on and play the song in standard. Just move
everything on the low E string down two frets.

CHORDS:
Em - 222000
F#7 sus4 - 444x00
Fmaj7 #11 - 333200
Fmaj13 - 33x230
G6 - 555x00
Asus2 - 777x00
Cadd9 - x32030
F#7 - 442322

All the tabbed parts in this song are actually played on a koto, but work out just fine on guitar.
