* RADIOHEAD - Lift * Unreleased * Guitar tab by Hugh NettarRich *~phro~* From : Hugh Nettar B This is the place A* A13 G#m7 E Sit down, you're safe now B You've been stuck in a lift A* A13 G#m7 E We've been trying to reach you, Thom B This is the place A* A13 G#m7 E It won't hurt, it won't hurt again B A scent of recognition A face you barely loved Empty all your pockets A* A13 G#m7 E Cause it's time to go home B This is the place A* A13 G#m7 E Remembering all the things you always see B You've been stuck in a lift A* A13 G#m7 E In the belly of a whale at the bottom of the o_____cean B A scent of recognition A face you barely loved Empty all your pockets A* A13 G#m7 E Cause it's time to go home B A scent of recognition A* A13 A face you barely loved... G#m7 E Let it go, let it go B Today is the first day A* A13 G#m7 of the rest of your days E So lighten up, squirt CHORDS: Please note that a dropped D tuning on both E strings is used. Also, there is a use of a capo on the 4th fret. A capo is not essential, and the song can still be played no matter where you use it. For players wanting to play "Lift" with un-capoed strings, simply subtract 4 from each of the fret numbers below. As for the Amaj7 add flat12 chord, that's just getting technical. It is a pretty weird chord, but it sounds cool nonetheless. I've shortened it to A* just to make it easier to read. B Amaj7 add flat12 A13 G#m7 E (A*) D |---4----------4--------------4------4-----4---| B |---4----------4--------------5------4-----5---| G |---4----------6--------------4------4-----4---| D |---9----------7--------------7------6-----6---| A |---9----------7--------------7------6-----7---| D |---9----------7--------------7------6-----X---| This is the fingering I use for the chords. Feel free to use an alternate fingering if it's easier. The fingers are numbered respectively 1-4, index to pinky.

I believe the B is spiced up by a few random variations to the chord, which can be achieved with your 1st finger. For the E chord, it is basically a C major shape, but you'll need to mute the low D string with your thumb (indicated with the X), otherwise the chord will sound icky. --------------------------------- This tab is a half-step lower than last tab, anyone who thinks it was right last time should tune down half a step before their strings break...... Also I'm not 100% sure about the A+5 bit chord, I've got a bad live copy of lift..... Intro: Just strum a Bb chord for 4 bars (It changes to a sus2 when Thom starts singing) Bbsus2 This is the place. A+5 bit G#m E Sit down, you're safe now. Bbsus2 You've been stuck in a lift. A+5 bit G#m E We've been trying to reach you, thom. Bbsus2 This is the place. A+5 bit G#m E It won't hurt, it won't again Bbsus2 A scent of recognition. A face you barely loved. Empty all your pockets. A+5 bit G#m E Cause it's time to go home. Bbsus2 This is the place. A+5 bit G#m E Remembering all the things you always see. Bbsus2 You've been stuck in a lift. A+5 bit G#m E In the belly of a whale at the bottom of the o___cean. Bbsus2 A scent of recognition. A face you barely loved. Empty all your pockets. A+5 bit G#m E Cause it's time to go home. Bbsus2 A scent of recognition. A+5 bit A face you barely loved!! G#m E barely loved!! Bbsus2 Today is the first day A+5 bit G#m E of the rest of your days. Bb So lighten up, squirt. Bbsus2: EADGBE X24422 All th rest is easy, except the A+5 bit, which should roughly look like this E---0---0---0---0---| B---0-h-2-h-4-p-0---| G---2---2---2---2---| D---2---2---2---2---| A---0---0---0---0---| E---X---X---X---X---| if it doesn't sound right ad-lib in this style until it does. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro: B* B* This is the place.
