* * * standard tuning no capo * * *
these chords are not completely accurate , but the lyrics are accurate ( according to the
album booklet , but radiohead has a tendency to have different lyrics in their booklets ,
don’t ask me why ) . these are based off of the gp version by ricardoravb and tweaked by me .
the original note pattern ( for the verse ) is as following :
| | : G E F D E ( first bar )
C B D C B C : | | ( second bar )
my edited version is this :
G Em F#m D Em
C ( Cadd9 ) C D ( Dsus4 ) D
the extra chords ( Cadd9 and Dsus4 ) are optionnal and consist of ’’fiddling’’ around with
the pinky on these notes :
C ( major ) Cadd9 D ( major ) Dsus4
| – 0 – | | – 0 – | | – 2 – | | – 3 – |
| – 1 – | | – 3 – | | – 3 – | | – 3 – |
| – 0 – | | – 0 – | | – 2 – | | – 2 – |
| – 2 – | | – 2 – | | – 0 – | | – 0 – |
| – 3 – | | – 3 – | | – – – | | – – – |
| – – – | | – – – | | – – – | | – – – |
* * * the note addEd with Cadd9 covers the ’’b’’ that is replaced from the original
sequence . the ’’g’’ addEd in Dsus4 is compeletely irrelevent , but i believe it has A
good ring
to it . as i said before , these notes are optionnal so i won’t put them in the tabs , but
i play them with every ’’c’’ or ’’d’’ in exeption of the chorus . enough explinations for
now , here are the tabs :
intro/riff x4
G Em F#m D Em C D
G Em F#m D Em C D
the mongrel cat came home
G Em F#m D Em C D
holding half a head
G Em F#m D Em C D

G Em F#m D Em C D

riff x2 :
G Em F#m D Em C D
G Em F#m D Em C D
i sat in the cupboard
G Em F#m D Em C D

G Em F#m D Em
they were cheering and waving
C D
cheering and waving
G Em F#m D Em
C D
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
G Em F#m D Em C D
but it got ed – it – ed fxxked up
G Em F#m D Em C D
strangled beaten up
G Em F#m D Em C D
used in a photo in time magazine
G Em F#m D Em C
D
buried in a burning black hole in devon
C ( whole chorus )
i don’t know why i feel so tongue – tied
don’t know why i feel so skinned alive
G Em F#m D Em C
D
my thoughts are misguided and a little naive
G Em F#m D Em
C D
i twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis

C ( whole chorus )
i don’t know why i feel so tongue – tied
outro/riff x?
G Em F#m D Em C D
the original ( non – acoustic ) is a fade . i preffer to end it with A ’’g’’ but it’s totally
up to you .
booklet ending :
he shook hands with the cripples and he gave them all milk
he did a few card tricks for his mafia geeks
but now i don’t know why i feel so tongue tied
* * * i have no idea how that last part is played , but you can have fun figuring it out * * *
