Subterranean Homesick Alien by Radiohead
capo on 3rd. standard tuning.
I use this on my acoustic and it sounds pretty good to me.
It's somewhat simplified but you can certainly improvise around this.
Listen to the album version or even a live version to get the basic rhythm.
Intro
E--!-2----------!-1----------x---x---|
B--!-3---3-2----!-1----------x---x---|
G--!-4------4-2-!-2--3-2-----x---x---|
D--!-4----------!-3-----3-2--1---0---|
A--!-2----------!-3----------2---1---|
E---------------!-1----------2---1---|
-I usually mute out the G-B-E strings on the two last chords
Part A
E------4--------4----0--0-0-0-0-0----|
B----3-3------2-2----1--3-1-0-1-0----|
G--1-1-1----1-1-1----2--2-2-2-2-1----|
D--2-2-2----2-2-2----2--2-2-2-2-2----|
A------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------|
Part B
E--2-0----------------------------|
B------3-0---2-0------------------|
G--2-2-2-2---2-2-2-0----1--2------|
D-----------------------2--2------|
A-----------------------2--2------|
E--2-2-2-2---2-2-2-2----0--0------|
-You can probably hit the other strings with that beginning part but the main notes are the
ones listed. Then just alternate between the two last chords.
E---------------------------------
B---------------------------------
G---------------------------------
D----------------------0-2-4------
A--------0-------0-2-4------------
E--0-2-4---4-2-4------------------
-This is that little part after Part B
That's basically it. It's pretty simple imo.
Hopefully that helps anyone. Feel free to leave comments
