PORTISHEAD - "Half Day Closing" Tablature
Official PORTISHEAD Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song - Half Day Closing (Live)
Band - Portishead
Album - PNYC (1998)
This is what I have interpreted from the song. I tabbed it from
the live version so it might be different to the original. This
is pretty much correct (hopefully), you just have to get the timming
correct and it's all sweet from there. Enjoy !

When I say (x16) I mean play the 3rd fret 16 times not the whole bar 16 times.
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PORTISHEAD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
