 How can you be sure?  by Radiohead
 >From the "High & Dry" CD single... played at a deliberate, medium tempo.
 The bass actually echoes most of the melody in the song, so it can sound a
 little wack on an acoustic guitar. Try walking the E up to the A on the
 "good things and bad" parts to fill things out a little bit.
 
 Verse:
   E    B   E           A2->A
   Seen all good things and bad
   E       B    E   A2
   running down the hill
   E   B  E            A
   All so battered and brought to the
   E       B  E   A2
   ground
   E B  E      A2->A
   I am hungry again
   E    B     E     A2
   I am drunk again
   E        B   E       A
   With all the money I owe to my
   E    B   E
   friends
 
 Pre-chorus:
   A    G#m F#m  E5
   When I'm like this
   B       A      G#m      F#m
   How can you be smiling, saying
 
 Chorus (inhale deeply!):
   E  B E A
   Ho-o-w can you be sure?
   E  B E A
   Ho-o-w can you be sure?
 
 Verse:
   If you walk out that door, will I see you again
   if so much of me lies in your eyes?
   I am hungry again, I am drunk again
   With all the money I owe to my friends
 
 Pre-Chorus
 
 Chorus x2
 Chorus (instrumental)
 Chorus w/ "I don^Òt want you anymore" vocals overdubbed
 
 end
 
 Notes on the chords:
 
 I'm not sure what to call the B that I hear in the song, but I think it
 might be a B5. It's fingered thusly; essentially just a power chord.
 e--X---
 B--0---
 G--4---
 D--4---
 A--2---
 E--X---
 
 Also, the A2->A is accomplished through a hammer-on, like so:
 e--0---2-2
 B--0---0h2
 G--2---2-2
 D--2---2-2
 A--0---0-0
 E--0---0-0
 
 I think the G#m employed in the chorus is played with some open strings:
 e--0
 B--0
 G--4
 D--6
 A--6
 E--x
 
 And finally, the E5 in the chorus is played like an open D, but barred up 2
 frets (kinda like how you might play an Eb)
 e--x
 B--5
 G--4
 D--2
 A--2
 E--0
