Radiohead
Street Spirit
The Bends
Tabbed by Sian Clarke
(Sarah.lardy@virgin.net)
This song is basically made up of three main riffs on one electric-acoustic guitar and a couple of other
riffs on a second electric-acoustic. It's pretty simple, but makes your hand ache after a while if you're
not used to it. If you haven't got an electric-acoustic guitar, use a normal electric with a chorus pedal
instead, but this song also sounds really nice with just an acoustic.
I guarantee this is 100% correct, however if you disagree, have any comments or questions or just want to
say hey, e-mail me at the above address and i'll do my best to reply.
The separate guitar parts will be marked guitar 1 (G1) and guitar 2 (G2)
Order of song parts is as follows:
INTRO - VERSE 1 - CHORUS 1 - VERSE 2 - CHORUS 2 - BRIDGE - VERSE 3 - CHORUS 2 - BRIDGE - OUTRO
Chords: Am x01220
Em 022000
C x32010
G 3x0003
