***STANDARD TUNING NO CAPO***
These chords are not completely accurate, but the lyrics are accurate (according to the
album booklet, but Radiohead has a tendency to have different lyrics in their booklets,
don t ask me why). These are based off of the GP version by RicardoRAVB and tweaked by me.
The original note pattern (for the verse) is as following:
||: (first bar)
:|| (second bar)
My edited version is this:
() ()
The extra chords (Cadd9 and Dsus4) are optionnal and consist of fiddling around with
the pinky on these notes:
(major) (major)
|-0-| |-0-| |-2-|<-*->|-3-|
|-1-|<-*->|-3-| |-3-| |-3-|
|-0-| |-0-| |-2-| |-2-|
|-2-| |-2-| |-0-| |-0-|
|-3-| |-3-| |---| |---|
|---| |---| |---| |---|
***The note added with Cadd9 covers the B that is replaced from the original
sequence. The G added in Dsus4 is compeletely irrelevent, but i believe it has a
good ring
to it. As I said before, these notes are optionnal so I won t put them in the tabs, but
I play them with every C or D in exeption of the chorus. Enough explinations for
now, here are the tabs:
Intro/Riff x4
The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his new found friends
He said I been where I liked
I slept with who I liked
She ate me up for breakfast
She screwed me in a vice
And now
C (whole chorus)
I don t know why I feel so tongue-tied
Riff x2:
I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down in neat
They were cheering and waving
Cheering and waving
Twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
But it got ed-it-ed ed up
Strangled beaten up
Used in a photo in time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in devon
C (whole chorus)
I don t know why I feel so tongue-tied
Don t know why I feel so skinned alive
My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and I salivate like with myxomatosis
You should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
Yeah no one likes a smart arse but we all like stars
That wasn t my intention, I did it for a reason
Original Audio Ending:
It must have got mixed up
Strangled beaten up
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
C (whole chorus)
I don t know why I feel so tongue-tied
Outro/Riff x?
The original (non-acoustic) is a fade. I preffer to end it with a G but it s totally
up to you.
Booklet Ending:
He shook hands with the cripples and he gave them all milk
He did a few card tricks for his mafia geeks
But now I don t know why I feel so tongue tied
***I have no idea how that last part is played, but you can have fun figuring it out***
