Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E
'I Am a Wicked Child' by Radiohead ----------------------------------- tab by James Glover (Sebadonut) Standard Tuning - Capo 5th Fret This is intended to be a very loose interpretation of a song which I have only heard as a live recording (available to listen to on YouTube) as I couldnt find the studio version - just a disclaimer to avoid a million angry Radiohead fans.
