"Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead This file done by: "Glenn Rubenstein" glennrub@delphi.com Special thanks to: et-lee@ux4.cso.uiuc.edu Okay, this is pretty accurate, I took the chords that Gene listed and put them to the lyrics, figuring out the exact changes and the strumming pattern. It sounds almost perfect when I play along to my CD and it works well enough. Corrections' e-mail: glennrub@delphi.com Strumming pattern: e---------------------- (only strum for the D chord) B----------x----------- G----------x----------- D---x-x----x----------- A---x-x----x----------- (for the D chord, don't play this string...) E--don't play---------- (4 of the above strums equals what you should play for each chord when it changes) (on the D/A/D change play 2 strums D, then 2 strums A, then 4 strums D) Start strumming A for the intro, come in with the lyrics on the second strum of the pattern)

^AHer green plastic watering ca^F#mn For her fake chinese rubber pla^Dnt

In the fake pl^Aastic ^Dearth ^AThat she bought from a rubber ma^F#mn

In a town full of rubber pla^Dns To get ^Arid of ^Ditself

It wears her ^Bmout.. It wears her ^Aout..

It wears her ^Bmout.. It wears her ^Aout

^AShe lives with a broken ma^F#mn A cracked polystyrene ma^Dn

Who just c^Arumbles and ^Dburns ^AHe used to do surger^F#my

For girls in the eight^Dies But gravity ^Aalways ^Dwins

And it wears him ^Bmout.. It wears him ^Aout..

It wears him ^Bmout.. It wee^Aeeeaaaars

^AShe looks like the real thing^F#m She tastes like the real th^Ding

My fake pl^Aastic ^Dlove ^ABut I can't help the feeli^F#mng

I could blow through the ceil^Ding If I just t^Aurn and r^Dun

And it wears me ^Bmout It wears me ^Aout

It wears me ^Bmout It wears me ^Aout

And if I could ^Bmbe who you wanted If I could ^Abe who you wanted

All the^Bm time.. All the^A time..
