Band: Radiohead Song: My Iron Lung Album: The Bends Tabber: Andrew Biles I found the tabs currently up either tricky to follow or with a number of faults so decided to compile and correct the best I could. This tab combines the three guitar parts into one so you can just play it through with the song. I did start working on the end lead part (over the last distorted chord section) and have included it at the bottom but it is incomplete - although what's missing can be derived from what's included. Everything is in order so just follow the tab down the page. There are some elements of timing written into the tab but it's best to work it out by ear. An Ebow is used by Ed (I think) which can be replicated by bowing with the volume control switch on your guitar and gaining a bit of feedback from your amp to sustain the note. Having read that the song is apparently played with the A string tuned to G I have created two tabs, the first for the detuned and the second version for people wanting to play it in standard tuning.
