Fake Plastic Trees"  Radiohead

Basic chord progression:  
verse
A --> A(E on d string drops to F# on E string)--> E --> Dsus4 --> A --> Dsus4

chorus (it wears me out...)

this obviously has some variation to it
B --> A --> B --> A --> Dsus4 --> A (back to verse)

basic bass line:

Verse : (repeat this until the songs gets quiet with the line...and it wears me out...-which 
is the chorus section)

|---------|---------|---------|---------|
|---------|---------|---------|---------|
|---------|---------|---------|---------|
|----5----|----5----|----2----|---2-----|

|---------|---------|---------|---------|
|---------|---------|---------|---------|
|---------|---5-----|---5-----|---------|---------|---5-----|---5-----|---------|
|---0-----|---------|---------|----5----|----5----|---------|---------|----5----|

Chorus                                    :||
|---------|--------|---------|
|---------|--------|---------|          (this section immediately below is what happens...
|--2------|--0-----|---2-----|-----0----|-----5555---|----0----|
|---------|--------|---------|          ...usually right before they go back into the verse)



This song you will have to listen to the recording for precise timing and accuracy since 
I did it

off the top of my head.  It gives the basic idea though.  O'Doyle Rules!

	okay.. "My fake plastic love" how kickass is that? Alright, we all have fake plastic love, HE ADMITTED IT FIRST!!! I heart you Thom...I am fake too.

	we are all fake in some way or another, but sometimes its ok to be fake i guess. i mean we dont hafta to be totally alienated from society all the time, but we dont hafta conform all the time my 2 cents...

No Picture Dylan Wanna Be	#3 by Dylan Johnson at Jul 6, 1987 at 5:30 AM EST
	i think it's just about how the world is so fake these days, and yea it's hopeless. for example, the man who does cosmetic surgery, but they still turn out ugly anyway. it's about how everyone tries to be fake to get ahead in life.

No Picture Chris Average	#4 by Chris Hutt at Feb 15, 1990 at 5:50 AM EST
	Great song, i agree we are all fake one time or another sociery has kinda made us that way because we try to impress one another and sometimes in order to impress people we have to thrown on a fake personalilty, most of the time not realizing we're doing it, thats basically what i get out of this song

	I think it's about wanting something you can't have, but even that thing you desire so much isn't what you need. "She tastes like the real thing." in a world full of fakeness, he wants desperatly to believe that this one is "the real thing." He's willing to be fake himself. Have you ever seen the shel silverstein poem about the woodpecker and the rubber tree? it just keeps pecking anyway. it's absolute desperation.

	There's something so piercing about this song and its utter sense of hopelessness, yet it ultimately makes it so comforting

No Picture Jelani Wanna Be	#7 by Jelani English at Dec 11, 2001 at 6:00 AM EST
	I agree with everyone else's comments...This song is so desperate..."She looks like the real thing, she tastes like the real thing" I love Radiohead for incorporating modern technology in their music creation (synth, crazy digital production effects) but at the same time they reject modern life and all its trappings.

	He's saying they've made the Earth sp wso worldly it wears the (w)hole Earth out, him. Circumcision though not say makign it plastic, cutting skin is thought plastic surgeriish, and form there they have faked everything.. so fore the sake of Radiohead's very name.. he had to do hi sname justice with this song ,ya and so now http://hometown.aol.com/jupiterlordjovei/ I would pay that dude or for his science if I was you first, W/$ isn't it so sirty how they thought foreskin dirty, think sex so dirty and condoms, and their clean is so atomic - and ignorant, they think dirty so doctor money, crazy 666 math anyoen fall into devil's seperated freedoms of near nothingnesses, could almost seem nahtziism is a more pact force.. yet nahtzis had so see a term 'minor', unvaluable person, small massless unworkworthy, waste of shortsight

	Someone being trapped in a fake place because she can't get out and it's killing her. She wants to do something exciting with her life but she can't because she's stuck where she is, and she's in despair.
