RADIOHEAD- Lift (un-released) transcription by Joey Gallagher (joeygallagher@hotmail.com) For awhile Lift puzzled me because all the other tabs on this song weren't very accurate. I finally got it that Thom's guitar is tuned up a 1/4 step which helped me figure the song out. What you have in this song is Thom's acoustic, Jonny playing some sort of synthesizer (I think) to get that echo sound in the verse's, and that sharp laser riff that hits at the end of every chorus. I tabbed all the effects for one guitar.
