RADIOHEAD-   The National Anthem      (Kid A)

tab by Joey Gallagher   [email protected]


First off I've broken the song into segments so as to get some organized 
format for this very un-organized song. I've only tabbed up until the end of 
the 2nd verse, then the brass starts and it's pretty pointless tabbing all 
that. What I've tabbed out is Jonnys martenot for the keyboard and guitar.  
I'm using the same piano instructions as normal.  I will put the note and 
then the number 1,2 or 3 in conjuction so as to tell you where on the 
keyboard to hit the note.
i.e A2 means hit the A note in section 2.

   section 1                  section 2                section3
C#DEbEFF#GAbABbC           C#DEbEFF#GAbABbC       C#DEbEFF#GAbABbC
               *middle C

For the guitar note I will put it in brackets next to the keyboard note. I 
will put the string and fret number.

So  A2 (G14)  means the piano is the A key in section 2 and the note         
       for the guitar would be played on the G string on the              
14th fret.

Here is the main bass riff played over and over throughout the song.


D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--9----------------9-----------------8--------------7---------------
E-----10---10--10------10--10--10-------10--10--10------10--10--10-10

I've organized the song by numbering it, each number represents every time 
the main riff is played. Any note under that number shows where and when 
Jonny plays the martenot.
