- Porcelain Heart (Watershed 2008)

by Shezmen (www.myspace.com/themirrorghostband)

Hello, maybe it's a bit early to make a tab of this song because the album is not in stores
yet it's only a single! :) but i was just curious
to try finding the right chords because i think this is really good track, and also i think
that some people would enjoy to play it using this tab.
Sorry but i am not a good tabber, this is my first official attempt, the tempo is not accurate
but the notes i think are pretty correct! : )

I created this tab using a Standard D tuning because usually opeth tabs (in D, like 
of the fall, ghost of perdition and others) are in Drop D or Open D tuning and
it's a bit crap changing the tune of the guitar
everytime so i made it playable on a normal D tuning :) !

v= vibrato
h= hammer on
p= pull off
s= slide
