  I MIGHT BE WRONG
  Radiohead
  Bassist: Colin Greenwood
  Album: Amnesiac (2001)
  Tabbed by Shor Bowman (abowman@sas.upenn.edu)
  *MEMBER OF THE BASS TAB ARCHIVE TABBING ARMY*
  
  CORRECTED TABLATURE as of March 18th, 2002!
  *Dexterity is germane to playing this song correctly. 
  My structure below shows a tab that is played very 
  quickly, and the fingers of the left hand must be 
  quite swift (and can't tucker out easily)!
  Don't let me scare you--this isn't an extremely
  difficult tab. Just be prepared.
  *This corrected version shows how Colin plays this
  song live on the album "I Might Be Wrong". But if
  you're looking for how to play it the way he does in
  the studio, you should find what you're looking for
  here also. If not, drop me a line.
  *My corrections were pretty severe. I won't go into
  detail about them right here, but they should stick out
  like a sore thumb.
  !DROPPED-D TUNING!
  
  After Thom says "...light coming on," Colin hits an open
  low D and lets it ring until "I used to think that...", 
  followed by some improv around the high D sounding like:
  RIFF #1
  G----------------------------------------------------|
  D----------------------------------------------------|
  A----------------------------------------------------|
  D--[0]----12-12-12-10-0-12-12-12-10-0--8/5--8/5/---0-|
  
  You can repeat this, unti the FAST PART comes in when 
  Yorke sings "Open up...":
  RIFF #2
  G---------------------------------------------|
  D-2h3-x-----------------2h3-x-----------------|
  A-------0h2h3-3-x-x-----------0h2h3-3-x-x-----|
  D------------------3-0-------------------3-0--|
  Repeat this throughout the verses. When Thom sings "Let's
  go down to the waterfall," stay silent, but then come back
  in with Riff #1 when he sings "...nothing at all"
  
  That is the main riff of the song. There are, however, variations:
  VARIATION #1                      VARIATION #2          
  G----------------------|	  G-------------------------|
  D-3h2h0----------------| 	  D-------------------------|			
  A------0h2h3-3-x-x-----|	  A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5h3---------|
  D------------------3-0-|	  D-------------------------|
  				    b b b b b b 	
  
  After the instruments go silent for a bit toward the end, Jonny 
  comes back in with his guitar and Thom starts to croon. When this
  happens, play THIS:
  RIFF #3
  G--------------------------------|
  D--------------------------------|
  A--------------------------------|
  D--12----12--10--8----8--7-/-0---|
  
  After you've hit that low open D, make sure that you VERY QUICKLY
  go back into RIFF #2. You'll see how Colin does this if you listen
  to the recording. It sounds GREAT. Colin is one of my favorite 
  bassists and I think that he writes terrific material, but this has
  got to be one of the best he's done.
  
  That's basically it! A little dexterity, and you've got this song
  covered.  Questions?  Comments? Corrections? Please e-mail me.
  
  Peace.
