Tuning: E A D G B E
Hey guys, these are the chords to the new Steven Wilson song Permanating. I checked the chords on the piano and they seem correct. I will try and provide some performance guidelines where needed. The song is in the key of Eb major, and while I thought of suggesting dropping the guitar by a half step the Chorus modulation would then be really awkward to play so it's better in standard tuning (note that the song is piano oriented). Here are the voicings I use for the chords [Verse] Ebmaj7 Abmaj7 e|----------------| B|--8--------13---| G|--7--------12---| D|--8--------13---| A|--6--------11---| E|----------------| [Chorus] C C/B Am Am/G# G B/F# Bdim7/F E e|-------0--------3---2------------0--| B|-5--5--1---1----3---3-----3------0--| G|-5--5--2---1----4---4-----2------1--| D|-5--5--2---2----5---4-----3------2--| A|-3--2--0--(0)---5---2-----2------2--| E|-----------4----3---2----(1)-----0--| Note: There is a descending bass line (c, b, a, g#, g, f#, f, e) but some chords are just not comfortable to play on a guitar so adjust your voicings accordingly. I usually dodge the f# and f but sometimes manage to play them. Also the Am/G# is weird and I might be wrong about it, cause it seems to imply a C augumented chord but on the piano it sounds alright if you just keep playing Am with your right hand and move the bass to G#. [Intro] This bit is played a few times throughout the song. First time there is no bass note but later when it appears as the bridge, solo backing and outro the bass note is C (you can play it on 10th fret of the D string for a good effect). It repeats 3 times during the intro.

[Solo] (Over pattern 1 x2) This is the amazing tab by Ayreon77 for the solo, so go and give him a 5 star rating too :) The solo is mostly C minor pentatonic with a few mixolydian notes scattered throughout. e|--brb--br--------|-------------------------------------------------------| B|-10---10---------|-----------------s----11-------------------------------| G|----------8~~~~~-|------8~~-10-8-10\12-----12-10~~-8----------8----------| D|-----------------|-8-10------------------------------10-8--10---10~~~~~~-| A|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------| E|-----------------|-------------------------------------------------------| b e|---------------------s---|---------br------|---------s---|-------15-|-18-15-18-| B|-----------8-10-11-11\13-|----13-15---13~~-|-15-16-16\18-|-16-18----|----------| G|--h---8-10---------------|-15--------------|-------------|----------|----------| D|-8-10--------------------|-----------------|-------------|----------|----------| A|-------------------------|-----------------|-------------|----------|----------| E|-------------------------|-----------------|-------------|----------|----------| [Bridge] (Pattern 1 x2) e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--9--| G|--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--| D|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| And time is moving on And listening to the song We get older Together And every time we breathe Another moment leaves us forever To the nether [Verse]
