Song : There There
Album : Hail To The Thief
Composer(s) : Yorke, Greenwood, O'Brien, O'Brien, Selway
THERE THERE
This song has an unusual structure, in that there is
intro
verse
chorus
verse
chorus
break
outro
outro
That's what I called the sections anyway lol, I'm pretty sure this tab is at leats 90% correct from studying them playing
live. The chords and riffs are basic guides from the recorded version - live, Thom improvises with the chords all over the
place (I've put some optional notes in brackets). Also note that there's only one guitar until the Outro, then Jonny gives up
playing those funky jungle drums and rocks out :-D
Enjoy
