Right now, however, I simply don't have the time... hope you enjoy it, and I also hope you have a pitch shifter, or else you just can't play this correctly ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A child's rhyme stuck inside my head It said that "life was but a dream" ...

Gehman Cornell University Date: Wed, 12 Nov 1997 20:53:40 PST From: Ricky Lee This is pretty risky, trying to tabulate "my iron lung," which is one of Radioheads best songs for that awesome breakdown/chorus. I can almost guarantee you it should be different, but then again, Radiohead doesn't really seem like the usual barre chord sort... Trans. by Ricky Lee (captain_zodiac@hotmail.com) Both of the previously posted intros work pretty good, depending on what type of equipment you have. The rest goes something like: --intro-- then verse one: (the verses have continual feedback. you'll have to figure out the tones) bass plays G C ---------------------------------------------

--3------------------------------3--------------------------------- when the powr runs out we'll just hum. (play the second part of the verse like the second part of the vs.2) this. this is our new song, just like the last one, a total waste of time, my iron lung. (bridge/chorus again 4x. on third and fourth time, there's a little solo-type thing. listen to the album to see how it's placed:) solo 1: G G G G C C E E E E ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------3-------------------------8-7-6-5-4-4-4-3- ------5p3-----5p3-----5p3h5---5p3h5p3-----5p3-----5p3----------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- G G G G C C E E E E E ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------5^------5^-----5^-5^-5^-----5^-----5^---8-7-6-5-4-4-4-3-3-3- ------5^------5^-----5^-5^-5^-----5^-----5^----------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ real bridge (not to be confused with that other thing I'm calling a bridge...) I'm getting tired, so I'm not going to draw a bunch of the same chord. You can figure out the rythm: ---------------0---------------------------------------------------- ---3-----------1----------------------2--------------------3-------- ---0-----------0---------------------------------------------------- ---------------2----------------------3--------------------5-------- ---2-----------3----------------------4--------------------6-------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- if you're frightened you can be frightened you can be that's ok then the chorus 4 more times and you're done. The sencond time on the chorus there is yet another solo, but, in typical Radiohead fashion, it's not that tough: ('b'=1/2 bend) G G G G C C E E -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------8__----------8__---------8---10-8-10b-10-8-10-8--------8__- --8h9h10-------8h9h10------8-9-10------------------------8h9h10----- -------------------------------------------------------------------- (scratch and make noise E E for one more bar.) -------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------8-7-6-5-4-4-4-3-3-3---------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------8__ 10-8-------------------------------------------------- ---8-9-10----------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- and you're done. I love this song, and when I play it this way it pretty much rocks. Look on the previous postings for the intro riffs (one is good if you don't have a tone-thingy--I don't, but the other's probably more authentic.) If I've missed anything or screwed it up, write me at captain_zodiac@hotmail.com. Thanks. Ricky. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
