Radiohead - Let Down Acoustic Campfire Version
 
DON'T BOTHER COMENTING THAT THIS IS WRONG PLEEEEEEEEEASE. It's my interpretation,
and anyway you'd be wrong. Yes this isn't how
the band play it but all the notes are there,
its just condensed nicely to fit under the fingers of one guitarist-singer.
 
Transposed for a friend as he was struggling to sing it in the original key.
I will use it too actually as I also cannot sing like |Th9m.  Didn't intend to put it online but figured it
might come in usefull to other folk too.
 
OkkkkkkKKKKKKKKKKKAY.
 
Capo 5 - capo whereever you want actually.
 
Capo on 7th to get the original key of A - which kinda defeats
the whole reason I did this - though the secondary thing I noticed while faffing is it works really
nicely played fingerstyle using this chord setup. Something my friend is really into also.
 
*Tab is obviously relative to capo*
 
Intro.
 
*let these notes ring out - keep finger on throughout basically.

e|--3------3-----------2-------0--/-2--0-0-/---------------------|
B|--3------0-----------3-------3--/-3--3-3-/----------3-2--------|

E|--3------3-----------x-------x--/-x--x-x-/----x----------------|
 
*/This little progression sounds nice but isn't essential/
 
 
Then the last bit leading to the chorus. Middle eight?
 
e|----------------------------0---------|
B|------------2----3-----3------3---3---|
G|---2---4-------------2---2------2-----|
D|-0---0----0----0---0------------------|
A|--------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------|
 
Faff on that for as long as you please before resolving to
a nice ol' simple A chord for a bar then into the last verse.
 
I did this while under the influence so there may be a few errors.
I've played it through though and it sounds fine.
