I have yet to see a good tab of "The Bends" so I once again scoured the Internet to find bits and pieces that were 100% correct, or at least sound like it. What follows is a combination of a Guitar pro file (which is pretty expensive software not many people have), several tabs, and some tabbing by me for some spots to make it sound as close to complete as possible. I do not take credit for this transcription, I only arranged for text format and filed in spots that were empty and corrected parts that were wrong. I do this only to help other Radiohead fans have tabs that they are confident in being correct. I hope to do this for as many songs as I can before I get tired of this or explode, whichever comes first. If you have any requests for what songs you want me to search for and arrange, please email me at mousey84@hotmail.com. Enjoy. And please Rate this tab, this took forever to arrange, you could at least take a second to rate it so others can know it is good. Legend: (5)- Ghost Note: A note in parenthesis that is barely heard in a recording or represents a note that is supposed to ring for longer than one measure. PM - Palm mute NH - Natural Harmonic PH - Pinch Harmonic B - Bend (I've placed how much to bend over the measure; for example a .25 is a quarter step bend, a .5 is a half step bend, a .75 is a three fourths step bend, a 1 would be a whole step bend, 2.5 would be a two and a half step bend, etc. Pb - Pre-Bend: The note is bent to a pre-determined pitch before it is picked. Pbr- Pre-Bend Release: The note is bent to a predetermined pitch before it is picked and is released to its original pitch. Brh- Bend Release Hammer-on: Bend note to a pitch then release it to its Original pitch then either hammer-on or pull-off to a higher or Lower fret. / - Slide: If I have to explain this one you shouldn't be playing this song. H - Hammer-on Br - Bend-Release: Bend note to a pitch then release it to its original Pitch. ~~ - Vibrato: Vibrating a string either by moving up and down with your fingers or by using a whammy bar. Note: There's a third guitar in this song (Ed O' Brien) but he tends to mostly double Gtr. 1 loosely so it just got cut out for the sake of making this tab easier to understand. Don't think you're missing anything, Gtr.3 just doubles gtr 1's exact chords.
