Tabs for "Pyramid Song" by Radiohead.
NOTE: * This song is in the key of F#-Phrygian and the time signature should be 8/8. It may not sound that way
because the drums play in 3/4 compound times and appear to cycle between 5/4 and 3/4 or something of
that nature. The cymbals give it away though and play a steady 4/4.
* Shown at the top of the intro is a little guide on how to play the piano pattern. The piano plays
chords in 8/8 with syncopated intervals of 3/8 and 4/8. Throughout the entire song the pattern follows
3-3-4-3-3.
* It's best to finger the open E like a barred F, this helps one slide around the fretboard comfortably
seeing as E, Fmaj7#11, G, F, E(b9) and Fmaj7 are all pretty much the same handshape.
* None of the chords in this tab are official, all of this was done by ear.
