Song: Paranoid Android
Band: Radiohead
Album: OK Computer (1997)
Tabbed by: ?
Ok.....this is one of Radiohead's best songs to date in my
opinion. I decided it was worth sitting down for ages tabbing
it out....so here it is; I have attempted to transcribe this to
play most of the song on one guitar, and if you have some pedals
you should be able to switch between clean and distorted sounds
and achieve a good match to the song.
Ok, just follow the fills and when when a certain part should
be played again at another point in the song, the fill to play
is shown - just refer back:

[LYRICS]
Please could you stop the noise i'm trying to get some REST?
from all the unborn chicken voices in my head
huh? what's that??
When i am king you will be first against the wall
with your opinion which is of no consequence at all
huh? what's that??
ambition makes you look very ugly
kicking squealing gucci little piggy
you don't remember
why don't you remember my name?
off with his head
off with his head
why don't you remember my name
i guess he does...
rain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me
from a great height
from a graeeaa haaaeeeeeiii. haaaaeeeeeiiii
height
height
That's it sir,
You're leaving,
The crackle of pig skin,
The dust and the screaming,
The yuppies networking
The panic, the vomit,
The panic, the vomit,
God loves his children,
God loves his children, yeah!
