                             Jigsaw Falling Into Place - Radiohead
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jon Stradinger

It is my firm belief that this song, originally called "open pick", was called
this because the tuning allows for an almost open picking scheme in the key of D - 
you can pick pretty much any string that you want and it will fit into the song which
adds to its many intricacies. It is also my firm belief that someone needs
to REALLY tab this song. This is the acoustic guitar part - hopefully I will add
the electric guitar parts later. Enjoi.

this tab is seperated into 4/4 bars when counting very fast - around 155 bpm.
Also, the point of the song is to throw your hands around a bit to get other nuances 
in there - this is a rough outline, but the sequence of the notes should give the
gist of the song. I prefer to finger pick but whatevaz.

**the open d and B strings in the slide down portion after the intro are
definitely in the song, as discordant as they sound. leave them out if
they sound too funny to you.

BRIDGE (1:44):

(i wrote out full chord shapes for the strumming here - accentuate the 
climb in notes from the D string to get the effect the song has, and
fall on the other strings in the chord to fill out the bridge.)

REPEAT VERSE THEME A X2 (2:07)

Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
The beat goes round and round
THE BEAT GOES ROUND AND ROUND

I never really got there
I just pretended that I had
What's the point of instruments
Words are a sawed off shotgun

Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out
Come on and let it out

Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
Just as you take the mic
Just as you dance
