Buying New Soul Tab

by Porcupine Tree


Song: Buying New Soul (Acoustic)
Artist: Porcupine Tree
Album: Lightbulb Sun (bonus disc) / Recordings
Year: 2000



This tab is intended to be played acoustically and is tabbed using the 
live recording of Steven Wilsons acoustic solo performance in Tel-Aviv 
that took place 2003-01-24 and the live DVD "Arriving somewhere..." 
There are some differences compared to the studio version, most notably 
that the riff is played as an intro and slightly modified. 

Enjoy!

Verse 1:

               
      Dried up, a guitar upon my knee

                               
      Should have sold out when the devil came for me

                 
      Dig a hole and throw it out to sea

                         
      Break the code, how happy I could be


Chorus:

                              
      I still wave at the dots on the shore

                                                                      
      I still beat my head against the wall

                             
      I still rage and wage my little war

                                          
      I'm a shade and easy to ignore

Bridge

Verse 2:

White wall, I had to paint a door
I always find that I've been through it before
Close it up and throw away the key
Break the code, how happy I could be

Chorus

Bridge

Verse 3:

Woke up and I had a big idea
Buy a new soul at the start of every year
I paid up and it cost me pretty dear
Here's a hymn to those that disappear

Chorus

Outro


That's it!
