------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 + 2 = 5 - Radiohead ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jason Paszek (Autopoietic Boy) Email: J.W.Paszek.Guitar.Instruction@gmail.com Tuning: EADGBE (Standard) There are some quality tabs for this song here, but I found a lot of critical mistakes so I spent some time with it making sure to get every note in as it should be. I've noticed a few errors in the chord progressions and also the layered and more complex sounding parts are often kind of skimmed over. I tabbed it out so that everything can be done on one guitar. I didn't look at the others until after I tabbed it out and while there are similarities, I've taken the time to create a tab for the person who wants to play the song as faithfully as possible to the sound on the album.
