Key: D

	        This is the live version from the Arriving Somewhere... dvd, the studio version is  
basically the same 
but with a few changes that shouldn't be a problem for you guys to figure out :) 
I know Porcupine Tree plays most in Drop D tuning but this one is on standard 
(analyzed Steven's position on the dvd) 

The intro is done with a reaally cool tone that I have no idea how Steven gets, and  
volume swells... 
lots of sustain and vibrato too.

Steven switches to a clean tone for the solo 
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

And then the solo is repeated but this time on the overdriven channel.
