Kid A

Tab
4.7(31)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

5 6

The pattern changes a lot. It's not always (8xxxxx)-(8x7xxx), etc..

The important thing is to count to 5 while stumming this chord (8x7xxx),

and to 6 during the other one.

I slipped away

I slipped on a little white lie

We got heads on sticks

You got ventriloquists

Come on kids...
