D-----------------|-------------------------|--------(the other 7 beats
A-----------------|-------------------------|-------- of this bar are
E-2---2---3-------|-5---5---5---3---3-------|-3---3-- at the start)
5 6 7 8 9 10 11 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 1 2 3 4
Every second time through this riff play |-2---2-- instead of 3.

E-2---2---3-------|-5---5---5---3---3-------|-2---2--

Alright, now play the above 2 riffs over and over for a while.
Then, when all the orchestra and stuff stops, finish at the end of
the bar with "****" above it and then play:
G-------------------------|------------------------|
D-------------------------|------------------------|
A-------------------------|------------------------|
E-0---0---3---3---2-------|---------2-------0------|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
Play the above 2 times, then play just the first bar again (but with
no 2)
Then:

Then play the intro riff over and over until the end.

| erm,,,, just read over all theses comments. No one has mentioned the word reflection once, which kinda makes me want to say...... WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAA. this song is all about reflection of your life. when your lost and you have no where to go, you sit back and reflect on everything that has been close to you, and dream up all the past and futures you could of had with them. and you lose your self in this dream. i must admit that this song does have a very big what you go through as your life slips away from suicide feeling about it. anyones thats been there im sure will agree. someone also said that this is street sprit 2, mayb on the emotions that it creates, but in terms of content i would say that this is no surprises 2, even the video is similar, under water and life going past. i wonder if thoms ever tried to drown him self/i get the feeling he may have. If so, full credit to him for coming back round again. All his songs end with peace and you get the feeling still alive too. – shit think I just rambled, im tired. Well hope you all agree with me or at least enjoy what ever you choose tooo. | |

| This song makes my heart melt. Yorke sings like a dying angel with tears on his tongue. I thought I was a tough black guy until I heard this song and started to cry. | |

| sounds like definite allusions to Hades. but Radiohead creates feelings from their music and voice. thom's lyrics are often a series of just phrases. | |

| it's about suicide. when i'm driving home heartbroken and thinking about suicide i wouldn't put this song in. some songs cheer you up b/c they're happy songs (i don't much care for these), some songs make you feel better b/c they're sad and you can relate, some songs make you breathe out and relax and calm yourself so you don't ever want to breateh in again (this is pyramid song) | |

| This song is about not fearing death. If anyone has ever seen the video, it looks like the Earth is completely flooded and all houses and buildings are under the surface of the ocean. In this song, the central character if there is one has lost everyone, and he no longer wants to go on living without the things he loves, so he ends his life by finding his home underwater with an oxygen like device to breathe underwater. Then when he finds his home he settles in the living room in his "favorite" chair and lets go of the oxygen. | |
