tabbed by nongoth
This is undoubtedly one of the best Radiohead songs, and a true rock anthem. It is also a favourite live track as the crowd always go wild at the distinctive introduction.
In terms of playing the song, it�s great fun. You�re going to need a distortion pedal, medium distortion level with slightly raised volume and level equalisation. Also, if you want to play the song properly you�re going to need a wah pedal as well (although you only need it for the last 4 notes of the song), set to cry-baby wah with a high wah range and then bypassed so no wah sound can be heard until you need it.
Enjoy.

There you go, not a particularly easy song to play or a particularly easy tab to read but very satisfying once you�ve got the hang of it. Have fun.
