Here's a rough tab for another nice track from Marillion.com 
There is actually 4 guitars in this track. 1 acoustic, 1 distorted electric 
and 2 slightly tremelo effected electric guitars. These 2 guitars are too hard 
to differenciate between so I have just put them as one guitar as best I can! 
Have fun! 

Guitar 1 - Clean Electric (bassy tone w/slight trem effect) 
Guitar 2 - Acoustic Guitar 
Guitar 3 - Distorted Electric

Bound up in this energy ball again 
Laughing and bouncin' off the magic 
Rollin' under like a surfboard in a wave  
Washin' me up ...I want to do it again

Entwined in her arms  
Spinning around and submarine beneath the deep of her 
Climbing the forks of the lightning 
Building a rod for my back it's all right, it's all right 

Interlude (as intro) 
========= 

verse 2 (as verse 1) 
======= 
Dreamin' a dream that only the sleepless know  
Chilling the afternoon in "Viva Vida"  
Watchin' the sun slide down the avenue  
So real...  
I feel...  

Chorus (as before) 
====== 
Dizzy to fever with this love 
The blues and the greys are waved away inside a day with her  
Riding the forks of the lightning  
Feeling the sparks along my back it's all right, it's all right

Chorus (as before) 
====== 
I thought I was born to take and to damage  
But I'm giving and healing and feeling  
Ultramarine and ultra-serene  
Climbing the forks of the lightning  
She told me today it'll be okay it's all right, it's all right  

Outro (as intro) 
===== 
I'm a submarine in this ocean
