Analyse by Thom Yorke ______________ / Thom Yorke / I think this song is about how many people live their / Analyse / lives in such a hurry and pace that they miss all the to / The Erasor / stop and think why they’re actually running and stressing /_____________/ themselves all the time. They know that it "gets them down" but they don't have the time to stop and "think things through". They're like pretty cows as Thom calls them – unfortunately many live that way and it's a waste of life.

"Hail To The Thief" (recommended!) is a great example of this. If these weird notes were to be added the chords, it'd really spice things up: G#/C G#6/C G# G#6 G G7* Bb5 Bsus2 E5 E6 --4--->--1---- --4-->--4--- --3-->--3--- ------>--1---- --0-->--9--- --1--->--4---- --4-->--6--- --3-->--6--- ------>--1---- --0-->--9--- --1--->--1---- --5-->--5--- --4-->--4--- --3--->--3---- --4-->--9--- --1--->--1---- --6-->--x--- --5-->--3--- --3--->--3---- --2-->--6--- --3--->--3---- --6-->--6--- --5-->--5--- --1--->--1---- --2-->--7--- ------>------- --4-->--4--- --3-->--3--- ------>------- --0-->--0--- *The G7 can even be extended to a G7b9 as the flat 9th also is played as a melody note. It's rather hard to pull this one off, but I've added fingers: ---4--- - 2nd finger (middle) ---6--- - 4th finger (pinky) ---4--- - 1st finger (index) ------- ---5--- - 3rd finger (ring) ---3--- - thumb ...All these chords can be played instead of the regular chords from above. You can also add these (and your own!) melody notes to the chords: C Fm ---0---0-1-3--- ---1----------- ---1----------- ---1---1-2-1--- ---0----------- ---1----------- ---2----------- ---3----------- ---3----------- ---3----------- --------------- ---1----------- These notes are played in the verses and prechorus at some point, but just add as many small melodies (these are very small) as possible as it gives this extra momentum to the guitar that usually only play chords, go for it! **************************************************************************** www.TAB6.com
