"Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead
This file done by: "Glenn Rubenstein" glennrub@delphi.com
Special thanks to: et-lee@ux4.cso.uiuc.edu
Okay, this is pretty accurate, I took the chords
that Gene listed and put them to the lyrics, figuring
out the exact changes and the strumming pattern. It
sounds almost perfect when I play along to my CD and
it works well enough.
Corrections? e-mail: glennrub@delphi.com
Strumming pattern:
e---------------------- (only strum for the D chord)
B----------x-----------
G----------x-----------
D---x-x----x-----------
A---x-x----x----------- (for the D chord, don't play this string...)
E--don't play----------
(4 of the above strums equals what you should play for
each chord when it changes)
(on the D/A/D change play 2 strums D, then 2 strums A, then 4 strums D)
Start strumming A for the intro, come in with
the lyrics on the second strum of the pattern)
A F#m
Her green plastic watering can
D
For her fake chinese rubber plant
A D
In the fake plastic earth
A F#m
That she bought from a rubber man
D
In a town full of rubber plans
A D
To get rid of itself
Bm
It wears her out..
A
It wears her out..
Bm
It wears her out..
A
It wears her out
A F#m
She lives with a broken man
D
A cracked polystyrene man
A D
Who just crumbles and burns
A F#m
He used to do surgery
D
For girls in the eighties
A D
But gravity always wins
Bm
And it wears him out..
A
It wears him out..
Bm
It wears him out..
A
It weeeeeaaaars
A F#m
She looks like the real thing
D
She tastes like the real thing
A D
My fake plastic love
A F#m
But I can't help the feeling
D
I could blow through the ceiling
A D
If I just turn and run
Bm
And it wears me out
A
It wears me out
Bm
It wears me out
A
It wears me out
Bm
And if I could be who you wanted
A
If I could be who you wanted
Bm
All the time..
A
All the time..
A (with more energy)
F#m (with more energy)
D (with more energy, no change this time)
(end on) A
Chords Used (or at least how I play it, there could be a variation though)
A - x02220
F#m -233222
D - xx0232
Bm - x24432

It wears her out (4x)
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polysterene man
Who just crumbles and burns

She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
It wears me out (4x)

If I could be what you wanted

duuuude! Can't you hear the switch in each line? So its techinically three chords per line except for the A D part. And its not F#m! And its not D! Its Dsus4. And its not E its...ahhhhhh nevermind! This whole thing needs to be corrected.
at least the words are correct.
It's not that i'm an expert but this tab SUCKS with a big S!
it's not F#m ist A/F#m
If it's wrong and your so right - where is your rendition?? Hey? Hey? Hey?
Dude, I don't like it when people put tabs that are wrong up. They're eitehr tone deaf, or just out of tune. Why doesn't anyone check the tabs with actual sheet music??
I bought the sheet music, the chords are A, Asus4, Dmaj9/F then Bm11. just at the end a Amaj7 is used.
look at you nerds arguing and bickering. look what you have become.
