Right now, however, I simply don't have the time... hope you enjoy it, and I also hope you have a pitch shifter, or else you just can't play this correctly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A child's rhyme stuck inside my head It said that "life was but a dream" ...

Gehman Cornell University Date: Wed, 12 Nov 1997 20:53:40 PST From: Ricky LeeThis is pretty risky, trying to tabulate "my iron lung," which is one of Radioheads best songs for that awesome breakdown/chorus. I can almost guarantee you it should be different, but then again, Radiohead doesn't really seem like the usual barre chord sort... Trans. by Ricky Lee (captain_zodiac@hotmail.com) Both of the previously posted intros work pretty good, depending on what type of equipment you have. The rest goes something like: --intro-- then verse one: (the verses have continual feedback. you'll have to figure out the tones) bass plays G C ---------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ real bridge (not to be confused with that other thing I'm calling a bridge...) I'm getting tired, so I'm not going to draw a bunch of the same chord.

The sencond time on the chorus there is yet another solo, but, in typical Radiohead fashion, it's not that tough: ('b'=1/2 bend) G G G G C C E E -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------8__----------8__---------8---10-8-10b-10-8-10-8--------8__- --8h9h10-------8h9h10------8-9-10------------------------8h9h10----- -------------------------------------------------------------------- (scratch and make noise E E for one more bar.) -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------8-7-6-5-4-4-4-3-3-3---------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------8__ 10-8-------------------------------------------------- ---8-9-10----------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- and you're done. I love this song, and when I play it this way it pretty much rocks. Look on the previous postings for the intro riffs (one is good if you don't have a tone-thingy--I don't, but the other's probably more authentic.) If I've missed anything or screwed it up, write me at captain_zodiac@hotmail.com. Thanks. Ricky.
