(Those of you who know how to play Bullet With Butterfly Wings by the Smashing Pumpkins will notice that the tab is similar. (I am not sure about some of the exact names of the chords but bear with me.): Thom plays aan acoustic guitar (live at least) Ed plays electric. Jonny play no guitar on this track. At Glastonbury, he had what looked like the remote control of a remote controlled car, to make weird noises. During the verses, Ed plays harmonics (I don't know where) - and towards the end jonny plays some piano-like instrument to make the howling noises Intro & Chord Index: Bm Bm Bm G Em Em Em G E-----2----2---2---------0----0---0----------- B-----3----3---3---------0----0---0----------- G-----4----4---4---------0----0---0----------- D-----4----4---4---------2----2---2----------- A-----2----2---2---------2----2---2-------0--- E-----2----2---2----3----0----0---0----3------ Verse: Bm (G) Em I am the key to the lock in your house (G) Bm G Em That keeps your toys in the baseme__nt G Bm G Em And If you get too far in__side G Bm G Em You'll only see my reflecti__on etc. Chorus (play f# on 2nd fret of low e string) Em (F#) G Anyway you turn, I'll be there Open up your skull, i'll be there Em climbing up the walls etc. the fiddly bit at the start of the second verse is something like e------------------------------------- b---3-3-2-2--00----------------------- for the solo, try some unison bends, like in bones e------------------------------------- b-------12---------------19----------- g---14b16----------21b23-------------- /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ + Adrian Morse + + The Radiohead Guitar Archive @ No Alarms + + http://www.waterw.com/~amorse/radiohead/ + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
