=======================================================================

In my opinion the other tabs of this song are not only lazy but also 
inaccurate.  Although this may not be exactly what is played on the 
album, it's closer than the others, which include incorrect chord 
progressions.  The chords are very difficult to hear, but if you listen 
closely you can tell they are more complex and have slight changes, 
some of which I couldn't figure out include exactly.  At any rate, this 
is my best effort and if you think it sounds wrong, try listening to 
the song with some headphones and I think you'll hear a lot of what's 
written below.  Everything is on an acoustic guitar, except the outro 
which is actually played by a distorted electric bass.  Playing the 
written chords will sound fine for just the guitar.  E-mail me with any 
questions, comments, corrections or concerns.

Since transcribing the tablature I have received multiple emails
informing me that Radiohead uses a capo on the 2nd fret for this song.  While
some of the chords remain unchanged, certain variations result.  I hope my
version has to this point been helpful nonetheless.  As this is only a guide,
I'll spare the details and leave it up to the reader to figure it out from
here.  To those who corrected me on the matter of the capo, thanks for the tip.
