_ _ _ _ _ This is a tutorial for Pyramid Song by Radiohead.
Let me just make sure you can see everything here.
_ How the hell does [F#] the song go?
Okay. _ _
It's as low as it goes, _ so_ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ Alright, we can see everything.
Okay.
[N] _ Mrs.
Ropa _ is_
that's another YouTube account.
She did this, and I pretty much learned it from her.
It's the only one, so I just wanted to make another one.
And plus, _ I'm teaching my cousin how to play, so_
You can watch that, or you can watch this, whatever you want.
Because they're pretty much the same.
First chord looks like this.
[F#] _
_ _ _ The rhythm's kind of tricky. _
If you know the song, [F#m] you'll be able to figure out what it's like. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ And then, keep the pinky here, just move _ left [G] hand down to this.
And on the right hand, the pinky stays,
but you just move the thumb and the pointer down to this.
_ Okay, [F#] so let me show you again. _ _ _
[G] And then play that once, and then you move everything over again.
[A] _
That goes to there.
Well, that moves over.
This _ turns into this. _ _ _ _ _
That plays three times.
And then you go back to the chord you just did [G] before.
_ _ _ And then you add the pinky.
_ _ And keep the pinky there just for one [F#] hit.
_ _ And then bring it back up when you go back to the original chord.
So it should sound like this.
Let me just show you.
_ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Only do the pinky on the first part, because that's how he plays it.
And then just play it regular the second time.
[N] And then the verse starts [F#] out the same way.
_ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Except now, when you go to the _ next chord,
it's the same thing as the original chord, just play it without the thumb.
[F#] _ _ _ _ Two times.
And then add the thumb on [G#m] the left hand,
and bring the right thumb [F#m] down right here.
_ _ _ Two measures again.
And then the next chord looks like this.
Pointer finger comes here on the right hand, and thumb goes up to here.
So just like [B] this.
[G] Okay, and the left hand comes down to [A] here.
[E] Wait. _ _ _ _
_ Yeah, okay, that's it.
Right here, just like this.
_ [Em]
Left hand comes right here.
[F#] So let me just show you. _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ And then it goes back to this [G] chord,
which is the second chord of the beginning. _
And then it [F#] goes back to this.
[D] Okay, so [F#] it starts out at the beginning of the song.
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [G] _ ♪
And _ _ _ the verse.
[F#] ♪ Jumped in [G] a river, what [A] did I see?
[G] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [F#m] ♪ Black-eyed [E]
angels swam with [G] me _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] That's _ just the whole thing.
And then during the part when it's, like, after the first [G] verse,
in between, like when you go into the next verse,
it's just like, [G#] let me just try to think of what the [G] last line of the verse is.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
Oh, shit.
[F#] ♪ _ [F#m] There was nothing to [E] fear, nothing to [G] doubt _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] ♪ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G]
So [A] _ _ _ _ [G] it's just like the beginning.
And then you just play that again.
[F#] _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ [G] _ [A] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ ♪
And then _ the next verse, which is the [F#] same exact thing.
Literally, like when you play and when you sing, it's the same.
[C#] _ [G#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[F#m] There was nothing to [E] fear, nothing to [G] doubt
This part gets repeated.
[F#] _
There [F#m] was nothing to [E] fear, nothing to doubt
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [F#] _
Three times.
[F#m] There was nothing [E] to fear, nothing to [G] doubt _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And then you [F#] just play it _ [G] like_
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [G] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _

So it's really just that main [G] riff the whole time,
[A] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] except for the verse when you just_
the only thing that's different is you do it without the thumb
and then you add the thumb [G] with [F#m] this _ chord.
[E] _ _ That's all that's [G] different about it.
_ _ [F#]
So it's a pretty [A#] easy song.
_ I mean, you can watch this, you can watch Mrs.
Roper's version.
I mean, it's the same thing.
I just thought I would make one, too.
