Porcupine Tree – Futile (Guitar Tab)
Drop D (D-A-D-G-B-E)
Auto-scroll
Speed:

Chords
From their EP "Futile".
This song has lots of weird timings, so watch out for that.
I'm not writing them into the tab, because I value my sanity too much for that.
The song is in common time except the one bar marked otherwise.
