Nude tab by Radiohead

Tabs

Key: C# minorC#m

Difficulty: Intermediate

This tab shows only Jonny's guitar parts in the song. The tuning is EAEGBE (the D MajorD string is raised up to an
E MajorE) and it is fingerpicked on one of his usual Fender Telecasters, most likely on a clean Vox AC30 amp.

The "You'll go to Hell" part is very trashy and probably played with a pick, so I tabbed an approximation.

I'm also considering the album version only. Live, Jonny adds other arpeggi to the outro.

These are the shapes he uses, considering the altered tuning:

  G# minorG#m G#G# A augmentedA  E MajorE C# minorC#m  BB

Verse 1:

Don't get any big ideas,
they're not gonna happen.
