Optimistic Radiohead
this is probably the poorest tab ever made but i hope its something to
work with
johan.mickelin@abc.se
/=slide
h=hammer on
p=pull off
*=let ring
during the intro this fits in pretty good
e -5/-7/--2*-1/-3-2---
chords: F G D C#(or maybe F instead) D# D
this is kinda of what i mean
[F] [G] [D] [F] [D#] [D]
-----5----7-----2-----1-----3-----2----- -----6----8-----3-----1-----4-----3----- -----5----7-----2-----2-----3-----2----- ----------------------------1--------------- -------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------
or this way
[F] [G] [D] [F] [D#] [D]
---------------------------------------------- ----10----12----7----6----8----7-------- ----10----12----7----5----8----7-------- ----10----12----7----7----8----7-------- ----(8)--(10)--(5)--(8)--(6)--(5)------- ---------------------------------------------
i think the second guitar is playing along using the G Major scale...
----------------------------2-3-5- -----------------------3-5-------- ------------------2-4-5----------- ------------2-4-5----------------- ------2-3-5----------------------- -3-5------------------------------
NOTE: this is not how to play it! this is just the scale.. listen to
the song and use this..
there is one chord that (jonny?) plays with just a slow upstroke im
not sure which one
but i think its some sort of F chord..
im sure i got lots of things really wrong but i hope i at least helped
you guys out..

INTRO:
F-G-D A#-C-D --> 2 times
[A#-C-D]
Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 D --> 2 times
VERSE
[Dm]Flies are buzzing around [Dsus2]my head

e-------------------------------------- B--3----1------------------------------ G---------3-2----0-3-2----------------- It goes over and over during D----------------------0--------------- the Dm Dsus2... chords on A-------------------------------------- the verse. E--------------------------------------
During the chorus theres some kind of scale playing that i won't bother to tab, it's fairly easy.
This was all i could do... this is just a simple version so you can play and sing with your acoustic guitar...
