PARANOID ANDROID - by Radiohead, from the album 'Ok Computer' -------------------------------------------------------------- Ok.....this is one of Radiohead's best songs to date in my opinion. I decided it was worth sitting down for ages tabbing it out....so here it is; I have attempted to transcribe this to play most of the song on one guitar, and if you have some pedals you should be able to switch between clean and distorted sounds and achieve a good match to the song. Enjoy, and any corrections or anything I've missed out, please email me at: swalx@usa.net TRANSCRIBED BY MENASHE PORATH ------------------------------ This tab transcription was taken from Menashe's Guitar Site, at: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Studio/2723 Ok, just follow the fills and when when a certain part should be played again at another point in the song, the fill to play is shown - just refer back: [FILL 1] e:-------------------------------------------------------------| B:------8------------8---------8---------8---8-------3---------| G:--------8------------8---------8-------8---8---------3-------| D:-------------------------------------------------------------| A:-------------6-6-6-----6-8-8-----6-0-0---0----------------1-1| E:--8-8------8---------------------------------6-3-3------3----| e:-------------------------------------------------------------| B:---3-----------3-3------3---3---------3------------3---------| G:-----3---------3-3------3---3-----------3------------3-------| D:----------2-2------2----2-2-2-2---------------------------2-2| A:-1------1----------0------0---0--------------1-1-1------1----| E:----------------------------------3-3------3-----------------| FILL 2 e:----------------------------------------12----------12-------| B:-3-3------3---3----[Play---]---------15----15----15----15----| G:-3-3------3---3----[--3----]------15----------15----------15-| D:-----2----2-2-2-2--[-times-]---------------------------------| A:-----0------0---0--------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------------------| What's that? e:------12----------12-------------12----------12--------------| B:---15----15----15----15-------15----15----15----15-------15--| G:14----------14----------14-13----------13----------13-15-----| D:-------------------------------------------------------------| A:-------------------------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------------------| e:12---------12-------------12----------12-------------12------| B:--15----15----15-------15----15----15----15-------15----15---| G:-----15----------15-14----------14----------14-13----------13| D:-------------------------------------------------------------| A:-------------------------------------------------------------| E:-------------------------------------------------------------| What's that? e:----12----------12----------12-----| B:-15----15----15----15----15----15--| G:----------13----------13-----------| D:-----------------------------------| A:-----------------------------------| E:-----------------------------------| [ Play ] [ ] [ FILL 1 ] [ ] [ again TWICE ] [ ] when I am king you will be fast against the wall......
