Fake Plastic Trees  Radiohead

Okay, this is pretty accurate, I took the chords
that Gene listed and put them to the lyrics, figuring
out the exact changes and the strumming pattern. It
sounds almost perfect when I play along to my CD and
it works well enough.
Corrections? e-mail: glennrub@delphi.com
Strumming pattern:
e---------------------- (only strum for the D chord)
B----------x-----------
G----------x-----------
D---x-x----x-----------
A---x-x----x----------- (for the D chord, don't play this string...)
E--don't play----------

(4 of the above strums equals what you should play for
each chord when it changes)
(on the D/A/D change play 2 strums D, then 2 strums A, then 4 strums D)
Start strumming A for the intro, come in with
the lyrics on the second strum of the pattern)
[A]Her green plastic watering ca[F#m]n
For her fake chinese rubber pla[D]nt
In the fake pl[A]astic [D]earth
[A]That she bought from a rubber ma[F#m]n
In a town full of rubber pla[D]ns
To get [A]rid of [D]itself
                                                                        It wears her [Bm]out..
It wears her [A]out..
It wears her [Bm]out..
It wears her [A]out
                                    [A]She lives with a broken ma[F#m]n
A cracked polystyrene ma[D]n
Who just c[A]rumbles and [D]burns
[A]He used to do surger[F#m]y
For girls in the eight[D]ies
But gravity [A]always [D]wins
                                    And it wears him [Bm]out..
It wears him [A]out..
It wears him [Bm]out..
It wee[A]eeeaaaars
                                    [A]She looks like the real thing[F#m]
She tastes like the real th[D]ing
My fake pl[A]astic [D]love
[A]But I can't help the feeli[F#m]ng
I could blow through the ceil[D]ing
If I just t[A]urn and r[D]un
And it wears me [Bm]out
It wears me [A]out
It wears me [Bm]out
It wears me [A]out
And if I could [Bm]be who you wanted
If I could [A]be who you wanted
All the[Bm] time..
All the[A] time..
A (with more energy)
F#m (with more energy)
D (with more energy, no change this time)
(end on) A
Chords Used (or at least how I play it, there could be a variation though)
A - x02220
[F#m]D - [-233222]xx0232
Bm - x24432

FAKE PLASTIC TREES by Radiohead

  [A]Her green plastic wateringcan       [F#m]
  For her fake chinese rubberplant     [E]    [D]
  In fake plasti[A]c eart[D]h
  [A]That she bought from a rubberman              [F#m]
  In a town full of rubberplants [E]    [D]
  To get rid [A]of itself [D]
  It we[Bm]ars her ou[A]t   (4x)

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polysterene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins and

It wears him out (4x)

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love

But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
It wears me out (4x)

  If I could be [Bm]what you wanted
  If I could be [A]what you wanted
  All the ti[Bm]me
