Time Flies (edit) - Porcupine Tree
From the 2009 album 'The Incident'
Tuning: EADGBe (Standard)
Tabbed by Dabog701

NOTE: This is a non-capo version, as it was done by ear and i never thought to use a capo.

This was quite a tricky song to tab, especially the solo section. Enjoy.



Listen to the track to get the rhythm of the notes. 


[Intro Part I (0:01 - 0:43)]
Play these three bars 3 times. The palm mutes are very short, they keep the 
strumming rhythm going.

Alternatively, if you find it easier, replace the above chord with this one:

G|---10-----|
D|---8------|
A|---8------|
E|----------|


[Intro Part II (0:43 - 1:13) -'But after a while, you realise time flies']
Play these 2 bars twice.

[Verse Part I (1:13 - 1:43) - 'She said "Love is what you make it..."']

Guitar with (I think) A fair amount of reverb, a small bit of delay, and some 
chorus flange. Again, listen to the track for the rhythm. Small bit of vibrato on 
each note.
