Wandering Stars by Portishead
----------
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet


This is one of the best songs from the "Dummy" album (but then again,
they're all
brilliant...). It is very simple to play, and it can sound good even on
an accoustic,
if you don't mind not having the rap sounds with you...
All the strumming is downstroke, giving it that dum dum dum dum, dam dam
dam dam
feel!

Verse 1:
--------
B5 G
Please could you stay a while to share my grief,
B5 F#
It's such a lovely day to have to always feel this way,
B5 G
And the time that I will suffer less,
B5 F#
Is when I never have to wait Chorus:
-------
B5
Wandering stars,
G
For whom it is reserved,
B5 F#
The blackness, the darkness, forever

Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever

Verse 2:
--------
Those who have seen the needles I now tread,
Like a husk from which your darkness now has fled,
And the masks that the monsters wear,
To feed upon their prey

Chorus 2:
---------
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever
Doubled up inside,
Take a while to share my grief,
Always doubled up inside,
Taunted, Cool,

Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever
