                             HUMMING - Portishead
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: Standard E
NOTE:
it helps to play the chords at two extremes of the fretboard, to emulate the theremin's 
bend. one way that sounds pretty decent is to play A#m barred on the 6th fret and then 
the fingering of (0-0-6-5-5-4) for the F augmented chord. the chorus is easy just 
remember to alternate the 9th a few times until you finally settle on it as the last chord.
intro:
       A#m  F+
       A#m  F+
       A#m  F+
Bm        F#m
Bm        F#m
F#m9
verse:
A#mCloser,
        F+
No hesitation,
A#mGive me,
        F+
All that you have.
Chorus:
And it's Bmbeen so long,
That I caF#mn't explain
And it's Bmbeen so long,
Right F#mnow,
F#m9so wrong.
Naked,
My thoughts are creeping,
Too late,
The show has begun.
'Cause it's been so long,
That I can't confess,
And it's been so long,
Right now so wrong.
Is it all as it seems
So unresolved, so unredeemed,
If I remain, how will I know.
'Cause it's been so long,
That I can't be sure,
And it's been so wrong,
Right now, so wrong.
