Tab by Sushimiaumiau (AbbeySP)

This is the acoustic version played by 
Thom Yorke with Posies. 

I'm sick of that classic, non-accurate at all tabs that
have been roaming the net by years! They're wrong! I'm not
saying my version is 100% accurate but at least it sounds
MUCH better and it's easier to play! Just try it out ;)

In first, the main chord isn't (0-2-2-0-0-2) 
but 0-9-x-0-7-0. It is called Emadd9 or something but 
doesn't matter (it's the same chord you play
on the bridge of Lucky):
                                         ,---------.
                                        V          |
                                .-------------.    |
                                |             |    | 
    Emadd9(?)                   V             V    '--This is the freaking
E|--0--x--0--0--x--0--|--0--x---0--0---0--0---0--|    variation you won't
B|--7--x--7--7--x--7--|--7--x---7--7---7--7---7--|    never be able to play 
G|--0--x--0--0--x--0--|--0--x---0--0---0--0---0--|    if you do 0-2-2-0-0-2
D|--------------------|---------0--0---0--0---0--|
A|--9--x--9--9--x--9--|--9--x--------------------|
E|--0--x--0--0--x--0--|--0--x--10--9--10--9--10--|

It repeats all over the intro and verses. 
Then a G and a Asus2 come like this:

         G               Asus2
E|-(0)-      -(3)-     E|--0-- 
B|--0--      -(3)-     B|--0-- 
G|--0--  or  --0--     G|--2--
D|--0--      --0--     D|--2--
A|-----      -----     A|--0--
E|--3--      --3--     E|-----


The bridge:

E|---0--x---0---0---0---x---0--|--0---x---0---0---0----|
B|---9--x---9---9---9---x---9--|--9---x---9---9---9----|
G|-----------------------------|-----------------------|
D|--11--x--11--11--11---x--11--|-11---x--11--11--11----|
A|---0--x---0---0---0---x---0--|--0---x---0---0---0----|
E|-----------------------------|-----------------------|

E|---0--x---0---0---0---x---0--|--0-----0---0---0---x--|
B|---8--x---8---8---8---x---8--|--7-----7---0---0---x--|
G|-----------------------------|------------9---9---x--|
D|--10--x--10--10--10---x--10--|-10----10--10--10---x--|
A|---0--x---0---0---0---x---0--|--0-----0---0---0---x--|
E|-----------------------------|-----------------------|

Doing that way you will be able to return to Emadd9 chord easily.

I'm thinking of tab this with GuitarPro. But it will be later.

Just one final thing: this is a very exclusive tab. 
It actually exists only in Ultimate-guitar. 
So if you record yourself playing it 
and upload your video to YouTube, please give proper credit. 
If you don't do so, I will know. :)

Thanks for reading.
