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

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.
