A Smart Kid


Song: A Smart Kid (Acoustic) Artist: Porcupine Tree Album: Stupid Dream Year: 1999 Tabbed by: andback@gmail.com Here's a great song from PT's '99 album Stupid Dream. Transcribed using the recording of Steven Wilsons live solo performance in Tel-Aviv. This tab is not a 100% accurate representation of the studio version but rather a cool way to play it acoustically. Enjoy! The chords: Dsus2 [x x 0 2 3 0] Am [x 0 2 2 1 0] Fmaj7 [x 3 3 2 1 0] C [x 3 2 0 1 0] F [1 3 3 2 1 1] Em [0 2 2 0 0 0] Intro / Verse 1-2: e|-----------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------| G|-------2-------------------0-----------0-------| D|-----2-------2-----------2-----------0-----0---| A|-0---------------0-2-3---------0-0h2-----------| E|-----------------------------------------------| e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-------2-------------------0-----------0-----------------------------| D|-----2-------2-----------2-----------0-------------3---------2-------| A|-0---------------0-2-3---------0-0h2-------------3---------2-----2---| E|-------------------------------------------0-1---------0-------------| Stranded here on planet earth It's not much but it could be worse Everything's free here, there's no crowds Winter lasted five long years No sun will come again I fear Chemical harvest was sown Chorus: Dsus2 Am Fmaj7 And I will wait for you Dsus2 Am Fmaj7 Until the sky is blue Dsus2 Am Fmaj7 And I will wait for you Dsus2 Am Fmaj7 What else can I do?
