***STANDARD TUNING NO CAPO***
These chords are not completely accurate, but the lyrics are accurate (according to the
album booklet, but Radiohead has a tendency to have different lyrics in their booklets,
don't ask me why). These are based off of the GP version by RicardoRAVB and tweaked by me.
The original note pattern (for the verse) is as following:
||: G E F D E (first bar)
C B D C B C :|| (second bar)
My edited version is this:
G Em F#m D Em
C (Cadd9) C D (Dsus4) D
The extra chords (Cadd9 and Dsus4) are optionnal and consist of ''fiddling'' around with
the pinky on these notes:
C (major) Cadd9 D (major) Dsus4
|-0-| |-0-| |-2-|<-*->|-3-|
|-1-|<-*->|-3-| |-3-| |-3-|
|-0-| |-0-| |-2-| |-2-|
|-2-| |-2-| |-0-| |-0-|
|-3-| |-3-| |---| |---|
|---| |---| |---| |---|
***The note added with Cadd9 covers the ''B'' that is replaced from the original
sequence. The ''G'' added in Dsus4 is compeletely irrelevent, but i believe it has a
good ring
to it. As I said before, these notes are optionnal so I won't put them in the tabs, but
I play them with every ''C'' or ''D'' in exeption of the chorus. Enough explinations for
now, here are the tabs:
Intro/Riff x4
G Em F#m D Em C D
G Em F#m D Em C D
The mongrel cat came home

I don't know why I feel so tongue-tied
Outro/Riff x?
G Em F#m D Em C D
The original (non-acoustic) is a fade. I preffer to end it with a ''G'' but it's totally
up to you.
Booklet Ending:
He shook hands with the cripples and he gave them all milk
He did a few card tricks for his mafia geeks
But now I don't know why I feel so tongue tied
***I have no idea how that last part is played, but you can have fun figuring it out***
