* RADIOHEAD - Lift * Unreleased * Guitar tab by Rich *~phro~* Joey Gallagher From : Joey Gallagher For awhile Lift puzzled me because all the other tabs on this song weren't very accurate. I finally got it that Thom's guitar is tuned up a 1/4 step which helped me figure the song out. What you have in this song is Thom's acoustic, Jonny playing some sort of synthesizer (I think) to get that echo sound in the verse's, and that sharp laser riff that hits at the end of every chorus. I tabbed all the effects for one guitar.

Also I'm not 100% sure about the A+5 bit chord, I've got a bad live copy of lift..... Intro: Just strum a Bb chord for 4 bars (It changes to a sus2 when Thom starts singing) Bbsus2 This is the place. A+5 bit G#m E Sit down, you're safe now. Bbsus2 You've been stuck in a lift. A+5 bit G#m E We've been trying to reach you, thom. Bbsus2 This is the place. A+5 bit G#m E It won't hurt, it won't again Bbsus2 A scent of recognition. A face you barely loved. Empty all your pockets. A+5 bit G#m E Cause it's time to go home. Bbsus2 This is the place. A+5 bit G#m E Remembering all the things you always see. Bbsus2 You've been stuck in a lift. A+5 bit G#m E In the belly of a whale at the bottom of the o___cean. Bbsus2 A scent of recognition. A face you barely loved. Empty all your pockets. A+5 bit G#m E Cause it's time to go home. Bbsus2 A scent of recognition. A+5 bit A face you barely loved!! G#m E barely loved!! Bbsus2 Today is the first day A+5 bit G#m E of the rest of your days. Bb So lighten up, squirt. Bbsus2: EADGBE X24422 All th rest is easy, except the A+5 bit, which should roughly look like this E---0---0---0---0---| B---0-h-2-h-4-p-0---| G---2---2---2---2---| D---2---2---2---2---| A---0---0---0---0---| E---X---X---X---X---| if it doesn't sound right ad-lib in this style until it does. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intro: B* B* This is the place.
