Song: Airbag Artist: Thom Yorke Tabbed by: Trifonas E-mail: trifwnas@hotmail.gr Tuning:Open A (EAEAC#e - Low to High) Well this is Airbag as performed by Thom Yorke live with his acoustic guitar. The trick here is the open tuning. You have to keep hitting the open C# and A bottom strings throughout the song. Sorry for the weird tuning but it's a lot easier this way!
