Song: Buying New Soul (Acoustic)
Artist: Porcupine Tree
Album: Lightbulb Sun (bonus disc) / Recordings
Year: 2000
Tabbed by: andback@gmail.com
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:
Dsus2 C G
Dried up, a guitar upon my knee
Dsus2 C G
Should have sold out when the devil came for me
Dsus2 C G
Dig a hole and throw it out to sea
Bb A
Break the code, how happy I could be
Chorus:
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still wave at the dots on the shore
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still beat my head against the wall
Bb C Dsus2 Fmaj7
I still rage and wage my little war
Bb A
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!
