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.
