"FAKE PLASTIC TREES" by Radiohead
Updated by Steve (jroyle@netcentral.co.uk)
A Asus4 Dmaj9/F#
Her green plastic watering can
E6 Dsus2
For her fake chinese rubberplant
A Dsus2
In fake plastic earth
A Asus4 Dmaj9/F#
That she bought from a rubberman
E6 Dsus2
In a town full of rubber plans
A Dsus2
To get rid of itself
Bm11
It wears her out
A
It wears her out
It wears her out
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polysterene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins and
It wears him out (4x)
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
It wears me out (4x)
Bm11
If I could be who you wanted
A
If I could be who you wanted
E6 Bm11
All the time
A E6 |Bm11|Bm11| A |A,E6|Bm11|Bm11| A |
All the time, ah ah ah

n.b. the Bm11 is a top radiohead type chord -
in a lot of their songs. As is a Gmaj7/B i.e.
x20032 - (spelled E->e), they v. sound similar. (
