Title: Kid A 
Artist: Radiohead
Album: Live 2003

Instrument: 4 String Bass

Tabbed by: Sonny (stupidsonny@yahoo.com)

Tuning: Standard (E A D G)

Someone requested the live version of Kid A, so here it is. It is alright, I rushed some
of the parts, but I am pretty sure it goes along with, really good bass line which consists
mostly of the note F. Colin is the man and the ending is improvised heavily, however that
is the jist of it.

Enjoy corrections always welcomed.

"We've got heads on sticks/You've got ventriloquists" is referring to revolutionaries (executing the ruling classes and displaying their heads) and political masters (using media-friendly puppets to convince us they have our best interests at heart.

rats and children follow me out of town- an obvious reference to the pied piper of folk lore
