Radiohead - Rain Down Tabs

RADIOHEAD /   Rain Down (un-released) (Meeting People Is Easy 1:14:29)


This song is just a short peice heard on Meeting People Is Easy when Thom is 
soundchecking in Japan. I have never heard of this song  mentioned by the 
band so it might just be a short peice Thom put together to help warm his 
voice up before a show. It sounds similar to the "Rain Down" segment from 
Paranoid Android because the only lyric he sings is rain down at the 
begining (there the similarities end, this peice is totally different). Then 
he hums through a lot of beautiful octave scales. It could end up being a 
segment of some future song. This is an amazing peice and it really 
showcases Thom's vocal range.


The song starts off with a  picking pattern and then gradually starts to 
incorporate strums. I tabbed out the picking parts so repeat the same 
pattern basically on every chord. After about the 5th chord just start half 
strumming and picking, then you have the basic idea of how the peice 
progresses. Every chord is played for one measure except the second chord of 
the song (the G#) it's held for 4 measures.
