Text File

______________ / Thom Yorke / I think this song is about Thom trying to not think of his / The Eraser / old girlfriend as well as she's trying to forget about him. / The Eraser / But he simply cannot forget her nevertheless as the more and /_____________/ harder he tries to forget her, the more he thinks of her in a in a way... you get the point :P Chords: These two lead chords are quite weird! They're all androgyny and someway senseless. They're similar to each other with a tone between; you can call them: A7(no3) Emadd11(no5) G6sus2(no5) B7(no3) F#madd11(no5) A6sus2(no5) It's only weird 'cause the bass note is missing, so I'd simply call them: C6/G D6/A ------------- ------------- ----------5-- ----------7-- ---9- or -2-- --10- or -4-- ---7------5-- ---9------7-- --10--------- --12--------- ------------- ------------- In the chorus Em, D and D#6/Bb also appear. The D# is of course the same shape as the two previous chords and the D is not played at all, but only appears in the shape of Thom's vocal landscape, so you'll have to handle that by yourself! Remember that you can always mail me if you need help for the D... Em* D#6/Bb ---7--------- ------------- ---8--------- ----------8-- ---9--------- --12- or -5-- ------------- --10------8-- ------------- --13--------- ------------- ------------- *I'd boost the Em a little! By the way Em / G / # is also the key for the song. 1st Verse: C6/G Please excuse me, but I got to ask D6/A Are you only being nice because you want something? C6/G My fairytale arrow pierces D6/A Be careful how you respond, 'cause you'd not end up in this song C6/G I never gave you an encouragement And it's doing me in, doing me in D6/A Doing me in, doing me in, doing me in Chorus: | C6/G | D6/A | Em D The more you try to erase me C6/G D6/A The more, the more Em D The more that I appear C6/G D6/A The more, the more Em D The more you try the eraser C6/G D6/A The more, the more Em D The more that you appear | D#6/Bb | 2nd Verse: You know the answer so why do you ask? I am only being nice because I want someone Something You're like a kitten with a ball of yarn And it's doing me in, doing me in Doing me in, doing me in, doing me in Chorus: The more you try to erase me The more, the more The more that I appear Oh the more, the more The more I try to erase you The more, the more The more that you appear No, you're wrong, you're wrong - 23rd /July /06 Just mail me at maitinin@gmail.com with questions, comments and corrections!
