RADIOHEAD- Pyramid Song (piano tab) Amnesiac
transcription by Joey Gallagher (joeygallagher@hotmail.com)
Aside from the time signatures present this is a fairly easy song to play.
It has no individual keys used but just plodding chords struck throughout.
All the chords are simple to play aside from a couple during the intro and
outro of the song where you really have to stretch your fingers.
I've broken the keyboard into three sections to let you know what keys
exactly to use to make the chords. Use the middle C as a reference.
section 1 Section2 section3
[CC#DEbEFF#GAbABbB] [CC#DEbEFF#GAbABbB] [CC#DEbEFF#GAbABbB]-middle C
Besides each note I will put a number so as to let you know where on the
piano you hit the key.
i.e So A2 would mean hit the A note in section 2.
Chords Used
[F#-] [(Bb1] [+] [C#2] [+] [F#2)]
[G-] [(B1] [+] [D2] [+] [G2)]
[A-] [(C#2] [+] [E2] [+] [A2)]
[G9-] [(B1] [+] [D2] [+] [G2] [+] [G3)]
[F#/G9-] [(Bb1] [+] [C#2] [+] [F#2] [+] [G3)]
[F#9-] [(Bb1] [+] [C#2] [+] [F#2] [+] [F#3)]
[F#m-] [(C#2] [+] [F#2] [+] [A2)]
[E-] [(B1] [+] [E2] [+] [Ab2)]
Now the timing of the song is really tricky. Thom hits all the chords at an
even pace throughout the chord sequence, but at certain points he stops for
a split second longer. So after each chord I will put a * so as to let you
know to hold the time signature a little longer
before moving on to the next chord.
