My last attempt at this song was shut down, because it wasn't complete (i think).
Well I figured out the solo for you good people on Ug, and I must say, it's
pretty spot on. Great rockin' song by a great rockin' band. Enjoy

  Ride into Chorus.
 
The Chorus lick needs an explanation. Johnny Greenwood plays a lick that goes up
the scale of the neck, and when he gets as low as the neck goes, he does the
whole thing backwards, toward the position where he started. It's pretty cool.
Listen for the timing.

Now let's do this mofo backwards..er, well, I think you can figure that out.
 
Repeat Verse and Chorus and whatnot until the solo. There's some jamming on some
the guitar for a minute, but it's just random playing, I really don't need to tab
it. Just jam on what works.
 
Solo (pick these first notes fast)
