'I Am a Wicked Child' by Radiohead
-----------------------------------
tab by James Glover (Sebadonut)
 
Standard Tuning - Capo 5th Fret
 
 
This is intended to be a very loose interpretation of a song which I have only heard as a live recording
(available to listen to on YouTube) as I couldnt find the studio version - just a disclaimer to avoid
a million angry Radiohead fans.

   [Outro]
 
At this point in the recording there is a harmonica warbling all over the place and I
am unsure what the guitar is doing so I have improvised something that follows the bass and sounds
like a good fit.
