  Acoustic Creep from Iron Lung EP 
  ===========================
  
  Sg-310L@hotmail.com - Richard Busby. June 1997.
  It is different(better?) to Pablo Honey version.
  
  2 different chord positions.
  I think the first positions sound nearer to the recording.
  
  EADGBE - Chords layout.
  
  Finger-ache inducing positions:-
  --------------------------------
  G                      Gsus4 
  [ 3 5 5 4 3 3 ]      [ 3 5 5 5 3 3 ]
  
  B                      Bsus4 
  [ 2 2 4 4 4 2 ]      [ 2 2 4 4 5 2 ]
  
  C                      Csus4  
  [ 3 3 5 5 5 3 ]      [ 3 3 5 5 6 3 ]
  
  Cm                     Csus4
  [ 3 3 5 5 4 3 ]      [ 3 3 5 5 6 3 ]
  
  Simple positions:-
  ------------------
  G                  Gsus4
  [ 3 5 5 4 3 3 ]      [ 3 5 5 5 3 3 ]
  
  B                   Bsus4
  [ 7 9 9 8 7 7 ]      [ 7 9 9 9 7 7 ]
  
  C                    Csus4
  [ 8 10 10 9 8 8 ]     [ 8 10 10 10 8 8 ]
  
  Cm                   Csus4
  [ 8 10 10 8 8 8 ]     [ 8 10 10 10 8 8 ]
  
  Occasionaly sus4 chords replaced by what I worked 
  out to be sus5 chords
  ie  [ 8 10 12 10 8 8 ]  is Csus5
  
  Entire song - G Gsus4 B Bsus4 C Csus4 Cm csus4 
  played a lot of times
  Chorus is just above chords repeated.
  
  For both, repeat until either:
  (a) Song is over
  (b) Your fingers ache like nothing has ever ached before! (-:
  
  You're so VERY special...

  version ii:
  
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  Creep (acoustic) by Radiohead (on my iron lung EP) Tabbed by 
  Stuart Winchester stuart@winchester.force9.co.uk
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  
  These are the chords of the acoustic version.  This song
  is pretty cool and buskable methinks.
  
  
     
  low E |--3---3---3---|--7---7---7---|---8----8----8---|---8---|
        |--5---5---5---|--9---9---9---|--10---10---10---|--10---|
        |--5---3---5---|--9---7---9---|--10----8---10---|--10---|  back to start
        |--4---5---4---|--8---7---8---|---9---10----9---|---8---|
        |--3---3---3---|--7---9---7---|---8----8----8---|---8---|
  high E|--3---3---3---|--7---7---7---|---8----8----8---|---8---|
  
  
  You'll obviously have to listen to the song to get the rhythm.
  But heres a *quick* explanation.
  
  A lot of the 1st. A quick 2nd (3/4 strums). A little more 1st. big chord change.
  ---------------3----------3---------------------------3------------|
  ---------------5----------5---------------------------5------------|
  ---------------5----------3---------------------------5------------|
  ---------------4----------5---------------------------4------------|
  ---------------3----------3---------------------------3------------|
  ---------------3----------3---------------------------3------------|
  
  Sorry if it may seem a little patronising, but you need to hear the
  song whatever.  I'm probably right in saying that when the song gets
  to around the 7 or 8 frets the two highest strings are muted.  I'm
  not too sure tho.
