“Wake As Gun” by Porcupine Tree from the previously rare “Insignificance” released in 1997.
Now available as a bonus disc with the 1996 album “Signify”.
TUNING: Drop D (DADGBe)
The only reason this song is in Drop D is because of a hammer on from D to E on the first chord.
If you want, you can just ignore that hammer on and play the song in standard. Just move
everything on the low E string down two frets.
