In Limbo Tab by Radiohead

In Limbo tab by Radiohead

Guitar Tab

Song:	IN LIMBO
Artist:	RADIOHEAD
Album:	KID A


4/4, 2/4 time signature
Transcribed from the LIVE version in Arles, France - 13/06/00

I have tabbed out each riff and named them INTRO RIFF,
VERSE RIFF and CHORUS RIFF, to add a bit of structure
(not that it's distinguishable). At the end I have put
a structural layout thingy.

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
There is only the one guitar throughout. Ed plays the little
intro riff on keyboard but it sounds okay on guitar, but
when everyone comes in, Jonny plays the main repeated riff.
Jonny plays little delayed riffs here and there too.

KEY:
H - hammer on
P - pull off
x - muted scratch


INTRO RIFF - 4/4, 2/4:

Here is the little riff before it kicks in. It might
have a short delay on, that's why it was so damn hard
to tab..!

    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +   1   +   2   +
e -------------------------------------------------
B --1-3-3-3-----1-3-3---3---3-3-3-3-5-3-1-3---3-3--
G ---H-----------H-------------------P---H---------
D -------------------------------------------------
A -------------------------------------------------
E -------------------------------------------------

    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +   1   +   2   +
e ---------------------------------------------------
B --1-3-3-3-3-3-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-3-3-3---3-1-3--
G ---H-----------H-------------------H-----------H---
D ---------------------------------------------------
A ---------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------

Then it all kicks in but this keyboard/guitar still continues
quietly throughout the verses, varying a little.


VERSE RIFF - 4/4, 2/4:

This is the main riff, playing triplets:

    1        2        3        4        1        2
e --------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------
G --------0-----------------------------------------------
D -----3-----------0--------0-----------------0--------0--
A --5-----------3--------2--------2--------2--------3-----
E -----------5--------0--------------0--3--------1--------

Jonny does delayed scratching a lot and sometimes plays
little delayed licks on the 4th beat:

    4   +	    4   +
e -------	e -------
B -------	B --2-4-- - (discordant)
G --2-0--	G ---H---
D ---P---	D -------
A -------	A -------
E -------	E -------


CHORUS RIFF - 4/4:

Still playing triplets:

    1        2        3        4        1        2       (3)      (4)
e --------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------
G --------0--------0--------0--------0--------------
D -----1--------0--------5--------2-----2-----------
A --3--------1--------6--------3-----------3--2-----
E --------------------------------------------0--0--

Jonny does more delayed licks on the final 4th beat
of the above riff:
