I have to perform this song for my Instrumental Ensemble class Monday, so I
thought I would sit here and write a really good tab for it. This is straight
from the HTTT transcription book, so if you have any beef with the way it's
written here, or think that the tab sucks, then take it up with Radiohead, cuz
they wrote it.

The second verse has two guitar parts, the softer acoustic-electricplays some full chords... here's my interpretation that soundsvery close to me for solo acoustic:2nd verse v ^ v ^ v ^e------------3--3----------------------------------------------|B------------3--3--------------------6-------------------------|G------------3--3-----------5-----5--5------10--9-------9------|D------5-----5--5-------7---5-----5--5-------------------------|A--3---5-----5--5-------6---5-----5--5-------8--7-----7--------|E--3---3-----3--3-------6---6-----6--6-------8--8-----8--------| For the chorus you can play the full barre chords if you prefer (strumming lightly still to sound high and bright):Choruse-----6--------8--------6--------5----|B-----6--------8--------6--------5----|G-----7--------9--------7--------5----|D-----8-------10--------8--------7----|A-----8-------10--------8--------7----|E-----6--------8--------6--------5----| Also, Intro: * e---------------3-----------------------------------------------| B---------------3-----------------6--------6--------8-----8-----| G------0--------0-----0--------0--0-----0--0-----0--0-----0--0--| D------0--0--0-----0--0--------0--------0--------0-----------0--| A------------------0--------------------------------------------| E--1/3----3--3-------------/6--------5------7h8--------7--------| * don't agree with playing 6th fret here as above, it's not the right sound and it's harder to play too Halfway through intro, start alternating between the first version and this (different bassline and higher accents): e---------------3-----------------6-----6-----------6-----8-----| B---------------3-----------------6-----6-----------6-----8-----| G------0--------0-----0--------0--0-----0--------0--0-----0--0--| D------0--0--0-----0--0--------0--------0--------0--------0--0--| A------------------0-------/6--------------6h8------------------| E--1/3----3--3-----------------------6-----------------8--------| I left out some detail because it's covered well in the OP's tab.

Ugh, can't delete posts and editing ruins formatting? Sorry. Let's try this again, ignore the last post: Intro * e---------------3-----------------------------------------------| B---------------3-----------------6--------6--------8-----8-----| G------0--------0-----0--------0--0-----0--0-----0--0-----0--0--| D------0--0--0-----0--0--------0--------0--------0-----------0--| A------------------0--------------------------------------------| E--1/3----3--3--------------6--------5--------8--------7--------| * don't agree with playing 6th fret here as above, it's not the right sound and it's harder to play too Halfway through intro, start alternating between the first version and this (different bassline and higher accents): 2nd intro e---------------3-----------------6-----6-----------6-----8-----| B---------------3-----------------6-----6-----------6-----8-----| G------0--------0-----0--------0--0-----0--------0--0-----0--0--| D------0--0--0-----0--0--------0--------0--------0--------0--0--| A------------------0--------6--------------6/8------------------| E--1/3----3--3-----------------------6-----------------8--------| I left out some detail from the intro because it's covered well in the OP's tab. The second verse has two guitar parts, the softer acoustic-electric plays some full chords... here's my interpretation that sounds very close to me for solo acoustic (again not full detail): 2nd verse v ^ v ^ v ^ e------------3--3----------------------------------------------| B------------3--3--------------------6-------------------------| G------------3--3-----------5-----5--5------10--9-------9------| D------5-----5--5-------7---5-----5--5-------------------------| A--3---5-----5--5-------6---5-----5--5-------8--7-----7--------| E--3---3-----3--3-------6---6-----6--6-------8--8-----8--------| Also for solo acoustic, you can play full barre chords during the chorus (Bb C Bb Am).

Actually, If its from the HTTT tab book, then it isnt the bandwho personally wrote it, itll be done on a computer that takes each note and puts it onto a guitar program and then prints it out, So I doubt this is how the band play it live.
