PARANOID ANDROID - by Radiohead, from the album 'Ok Computer'
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ok.....this is one of Radiohead's best songs to date in my
opinion. I decided it was worth sitting down for ages tabbing
it out....so here it is; I have attempted to transcribe this to
play most of the song on one guitar, and if you have some pedals
you should be able to switch between clean and distorted sounds
and achieve a good match to the song.
Enjoy, and any corrections or anything I've missed out, please
email me at: swalx@usa.net

This riff Ed plays isnt too audible but its there.
[note: "having seen the band play the song live and listening to the track
I am sure that instead of the above ed actually plays the G and B strings at
the nut i.e. to the left of the first fret. this produces that high pitched
sound." [-- comment from Doug Stuart [stuart@tinet.ie]

VERSION 2:
"Climbing Up The Walls"
>From OK Computer
by Radiohead
Tabbed By Chuck Frame
Corrections by Seb (93sperry@worth.org.uk)
There is little guitar that you can hear properly to speak of in the
recording, but if you use these chords you can make a reasonable sounding
version of Climbing Up The Walls. (Those of you who know how to play
Bullet With Butterfly Wings by the Smashing Pumpkins will notice that the
tab is similar. (I am not sure about some of the exact names of the
chords but bear with me.):
Thom plays aan acoustic guitar (live at least) Ed plays electric. Jonny play no guitar on this track. At Glastonbury, he had what looked like the remote control of a remote controlled car, to make weird noises. During the verses, Ed plays harmonics (I don't know where) - and towards the end jonny plays some piano-like instrument to make the howling noises

Chorus (play f# on 2nd fret of low e string)

Anyway you turn, I'll be there

climbing up the walls

the fiddly bit at the start of the second verse is something like

from the album 'Ok Computer'

Tabbed by Claire Mc Guinness [amcguins@iol.ie]
Well this is how I have figured it out so far.
Guitar 1:
Intro:
E--16-----------16-----------16----------------12-14-
B--------17-----------17-----------17-------13-------
G-----16----16-----16----16-----16----16-14----------
D----------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
Repeat this 4 times.
Verse:
E--16----------16----------16----------16------------
B--------17----------17----------17----------17------
G-----16----16----16----16----16----16----16----16---
D----------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
E--16----------16----------16----------16------------
B--------17----------17----------17----------17------
G-----14----14----14----14----14----14----14----14---
D----------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
E--17----------17------------------------------------
B--------17----------17----17-17-16------------------
G-----14----14----14----14----------16---------------
D--------------------------------------16-18---------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
Play the intro again, then the verse, and then the intro.
Then play this - the pre-chorus:
E--16----------16----------16----------16------------
B--------17----------17----------17----------17------
G-----16----16----16----16----16----16----16----16---
D----------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
E--16----------16----------16----------16------------
B--------17----------17----------17----------17------
G-----14----14----14----14----14----14----14----14---
D----------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
Then play this -the chorus- 3 times:
E----------------------------------------------------
B--14-14-10-10-9-9-7-7-5-4-4-5-7---------------------
G----------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
At this point Thom sings "Silent, Silent"
Play the intro twice, then the pre-chorus and chorus, and then the intro once more.
Solo:
E------0-2-0-------0-2-3-2-0-----------2-0-----------
B----4-------4---1-----------1-----4-------4---------
G--4-----------4---------------4-4---4-------4-------
D----------------------------------------------------

B--1-----------1-------------3-----------------------
G----------------6-------4-5-------------------------
D------------------7-6-7-----------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------
Play the pre-chorus and the chorus again.
Then finish off with the intro twice and end nicely on:
E--16--
B--17--
G--16--

OK, and that was only guitar one; guitar two is next (sorry to waste so much space!)
Guitar 2: capoed at 2nd fret (played live I've noticed it's capoed at 3rd fret, so I think that guitars are probably tuned to Eb on the album, but it's as easy to capo it at 2nd fret.)

Notes:
The high-pitched effect can be attained by forming an Em chord and strumming the strings
BEFORE the nut, where they just wind off of the tuning pegs.

LYRICS:
It barks at no-one else but me,
like it's seen a ghost.
I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin,
no-one else would know.
Hey man, slow down...slow down
Idiot, slowdown....slow down
Sometimes I get overcharged,
thats when you see sparks.
They ask me where the hell I'm going,
at a 1000 feet per second.
Hey man, slow down...slow down
Idiot, slow down....slow down
