Radiohead-Videotape So I transcribed the piano version (live from the basement) for the guitar,this should be somewhat accurate Hope you like it [ Please note I used this version as the main one to get a hold of the riff pattern: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njCps4jGaks and a different one to figure when the interlude comes in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kCKob1YKOU . By all means play however you like,I tried to stay as correct as I could to the piano,but its hard at times ] (riff a) e------------------ b-10----9---9---7-- g--6----6---6---6-- d------------------ a------------------ e------------------ (riff b) e----------------- b-10---9---9--7--- g--9---9---9--9--- d----------------- a----------------- e----------------- (riff B2) e----------------- b-10---9---9---10- g--9---9---9---9-- d----------------- a----------------- e----------------- (riff B3) e------------------------------- b-10--9---9--9--9--9--10-10-10-- g-9---9---9--9--9--9--9--9---9-- d------------------------------- a------------------------------- e------------------------------- (riff c) e-------------------- b-10--9---10--10----- g-9---9---9---9------ d-------------------- a-------------------- e-------------------- Interlude e----------------------------------------------------- b-----10-----12------14--------16--------17------21--- g--6------8-------9--------11-------13--------14------ d----------------------------------------------------- a----------------------------------------------------- e----------------------------------------------------- (then play it backwards v) e------------------------------------------ b-21-----17-----16-----14----12----10------ g-----14-----13-----11-----9------8------6- d------------------------------------------ a------------------------------------------ e------------------------------------------ The order of riffs (not 100% correct,but somewhat close) (Added lyrics so its easier to distinguish) A augmentedA BB C majorC A augmentedA Bx2 A augmentedA When I'm at Bx2 the pearly gates, this will be on A augmentedA my videotape Bx2 my videotape A augmentedA When Mephistopheles is Bx2 just beneath,and he's reaching out A augmentedA to grab me C majorC A augmentedA This is one BB for the good days B2 and I have it all here A augmentedA in red,blue,green BB in red,blue green C majorC A augmentedA You're my center Bx2 when I spin away,out of control A augmentedA on videotape BB on videotape A augmentedA on videotape BB on videotape A augmentedA on videotape BB Interlude A augmentedA This my way of Bx2 saying goodbye A augmentedA 'Cause I can't do it Bx2 face to face,I'm talking to you before A augmentedA No matter what Bx2 happens now,you shouldn't be afraid A augmentedA Because I know today BB has been the most A augmentedA perfect day i've B3 ever seen (I'm not sure what else he does at the end,but make variations of B,B2 riffs) end on Cx2
