Song
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Radiohead - My Iron Lung
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Zaqq
Notes: I used the original bass master track to tab it:

The chorus parts have slapping and popping in it.
Tuning: standard (EADG)
