MX Tabs – www.mxtabs.net

Artist : Radiohead

Song : There There

Album : Hail To The Thief

Composer(s) : Yorke, Greenwood, O’Brien, O’Brien, Selway

THERE THERE

This song has an unusual structure, in that there is

intro

verse

chorus

verse

chorus

break

outro

outro

That’s what I called the sections anyway lol, I’m pretty sure this tab is at leats 90% correct from studying them playing

live. The chords and riffs are basic guides from the recorded version – live, Thom improvises with the chords all over the

place (I’ve put some optional notes in brackets). Also note that there’s only one guitar until the Outro, then Jonny gives up

playing those funky jungle drums and rocks out 😀

Enjoy
