RADIOHEAD - Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Tab by ajd (complicateyourwords@hotmail.com)
I know there are already tabs for this song, but this is such a
beautiful and emotional song which I love playing, and none of
the tabs I found quite right. I've come up with this one.
There are 3 main riffs throughout the song and two more at the
very end.
For each riff I have shown the hand positions I find easiest,
Where "i" is your index finger, "m" your middle finger, "r"
your ring finger and "p" your little finger (pinky). It's the
"r", your ring finger, you need to look out for, it's what you
need to move to change most positions. During most of the song
you will be lifting your pinky, then index, then pressing the
again.
Tune your guitar all strings down HALF a semitone (430 Hz) if
you want it exactly the same as the record.

Here are the lyrics and the chords they are played with:
Amx4
Am Rows of houses
Am all bearing down on me
Am I can feel their
Am blue hands touching me
Em All these things into position
Em All these things we'll one day swallow whole
Am
AmC And fade
Em out
Am a gain
AmC and fade
Em Out
Am This machine will
Am will not communicate
Am These thoughts and the strain I am
Am under
Em Be a world child, form a circle
Em Before we all
Am go under
AmC and Fade
Em Out
Am A gain
AmC and Fade
Em Out
Am A gain
AmC Oooh
Em Oooh
Am Oooh
Am Oooh
C Oooh
Em Oooh
Am Cracked eggs, dead birds
Am Scream as they fight for life
Am I can feel death
Am can see it's beady eyes
Em All these things into position
Em All these things we'll one day swallow whole
Am
AmC and Fade
Em Out
Am A gain
AmC and Fade
Em Out
Am A gain
AmC Oooh
Em Oooh
Am Oooh
Am Oooh
C Oooh

And then play the A string open to end it. Hope you have fun.
