Radiohead - Paranoid Android
tabbed by ajd (complicateyourwords@hotmail.com)


This tab is written so the whole song can be played on one accoustic guitar,
because how many of us are actually in a band with 3 guitarists? For the other 
guitars there are plenty of other tabs that will cover them, I'm sure, but none 
of them seem to have got the main guitar in the first two minutes quite right. I
have missed out a few (just a few) notes from the tab on the intro and verses, 
as they make it so much more complicated to learn, and distract from the main 
notes of the song.
Enjoy.
