INTRO:
Strum E repeatedly
CHORDS:
E C G Gmaj7 E
And if I get old, I'll not give in
And if I do, remind me to pray
Remind me that I was always free
The spiders crawl all over me
And if I sat down and crossed my arms
Help me to this song
D A C E
Knock me out, smash out my brains
C E
If I take my chance
B Am Am E
Stop to talk ***
If I get old, remind me of this
And I'll be cursed, all I remember
And what I think of wasted speaking
But not before...play me this song.
*Gmaj7 = [320002]
STRUMMING PATTERNS USED:
The strumming is a very important part to this song.. The following
is how it's done on the CD. If you're going to improvise something more
interesting on top of it, then stick to this pattern:
INTRO:
|. 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - .|
|. / / \ / \ / / \ / \ .|
\ = upstroke : eadgbe
<----- THIS WAY
/ = downstroke : eadgbe
-----> THIS WAY
Occasionally, a heavy, 'deliberate' upstroke is used on the first beat
of a new bar in the intro.
The verse chords change as follows:
E C G Gmaj7 E E
|. 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - .|
|. / / \ / \ / / \ / \ / / \ / \ / / \ / \ / / \ / \ .|
The chorus chords change as follows:
D A C E
|. 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - .|
|. / / \ / \ / / \ / \ / / \ / \ / / \ / \ .|
C E B Am Am [back to E again..]
|. 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 1 - 2 - 3 - .|
|. / / \ / \ / / \ / \ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / .|

---------------------------------------
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official RADIOHEAD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
