Tab Bass Radiohead – Staircase Versi 1

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- STAIRCASE - Radiohead ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Etienne049 email: [email protected] Standard tuning For this song, there are really only 3 sections you need. For brevity I'll write the sections, and then list the order at the bottom. Each section is 8 beats. It'll be easiest to read if you listen to the song while playing (Live From the Basement version)*. Part "A" G|----------------------------------| D|----------------------------------| 2 times total A|-3-5---0-3--5---3-5---0-3--3------| E|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|----------------------------------| A|-3-5---0-3--5---3-5---0-3--5------| E|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|----------------------------------| A|----------------------------------| E|-3-5---0-3--5---3-5---0-3--3------| G|----------------------------------| D|----------------------------------| A|-3-2-----3--2---3-2-----3--2------| E|-------3--------------3-----------| G|----------------------------------| D|----------------------------------| A|----------------------------------| E|-3-5---0-3--5---3-5---0-3--5------| Part "B" G|----------------------------------| D|----------------------------------| A|-1-3-----1--3---1-3-----1--(3)----| (listen for last note) E|-------3--------------3-----------| G|----------------------------------| D|-3-5-----3--5---3-5-----3--(5)----| (listen for last note) A|-------5--------------5-----------| E|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|-1-3-----1--3---1-3-----1--3------| A|-------3--------------3-----------| E|----------------------------------| G|----------------------------------| D|-0-2-----0--2---0-2-----0--2------| 2 times total A|-------2--------------2-----------| E|----------------------------------| Part "C" G|-------10-------10-------10-------10-| D|-10-12----10-12----10-12----10-12----| A|-------------------------------------| E|-------------------------------------| G|-------12-------12-------12-------[12]-| D|-10-12----10-12----10-12----10-12------| A|----------------------------------[12]-| E|---------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------| D|-10-12----10-12----10-12----10-12----| A|-------12-------12-------12-------12-| E|-------------------------------------| G|-------------------------------------| D|-10-12----10-12----10-12----10-12----| A|-------10-------10-------10-------10-| E|-------------------------------------| G|-------[10]----------------------------| D|-10-12------10-12----10-12----10-12----| A|-------[12]-------12-------12-------12-| E|---------------------------------------| So the song goes: A x 4 times (The THIRD time only, do not play the last line) B x 1 time C x 2 times (In the second line, play the G[12] the first time and A[12] the second time. In the last line, play the G[10] the first time and the A[12] the second time) A x 1 time C x 2 times (Both times play G[12] in second line and A[12] in last line) B x 3 times (The THIRD time repeats the last line about 4.5 times, all slightly varied from usual, but normal works) *I would like to note, that this is somewhat of a generalization. The last note in the staff may sometimes not be played, repeat the note before it, go up two frets, or slide down. I'm sorry if this seemed confusing, I tried to do it in a concise way that made sense. Leave me a comment if you think of a more clear way to write it or find any mistakes. =============================================================================
