Radiohead in limbo(v1) guitar tabs

IN LIMBO [radiohead] for guitar - 4/4, 2/4 time signature
transcribed from live the version in Arles, France - 13/06/00

I have tabbed out each riff and named them INTRO RIFF, VERSE RIFF and CHORUS
RIFF. To add a bit of structure, not that it's distinguishable (again), at
the end I have put a structure layout.

I think there are three guitars throughout. I don't know who plays the little
intro riff, probably thom, but when everyone comes in, Ed probably (maybe
Jonny) plays the main repeated riff. Jonny plays little delayed riffs here
and there.

KEY:
H - hammer on
P - pull off
x - muted scratch


INTRO RIFF - 4/4, 2/4:

Here is the little riff before it kicks in. It might
have a short delay on, that's why it was so damn hard
to tab..!

    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +   1   +   2   +
e -------------------------------------------------
B --1-3-3-3-----1-3-3---3---3-3-3-3-5-3-1-3---3-3--
G ---H-----------H-------------------P---H---------
D -------------------------------------------------
A -------------------------------------------------
E -------------------------------------------------

    1   +   2   +   3   +   4   +   1   +   2   +
e ---------------------------------------------------
B --1-3-3-3-3-3-1-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-1-3-3-3---3-1-3--
G ---H-----------H-------------------H-----------H---
D ---------------------------------------------------
A ---------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------

Then it all kicks in but this guitar still continues
quietly throughout the verses, varying a little.


VERSE RIFF - 4/4, 2/4:

This is the main riff, playing triplets:

    1        2        3        4        1        2   
e --------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------
G --------0-----------------------------------------------
D -----3-----------0--------0-----------------0--------0--
A --5-----------3--------2--------2--------2--------3-----
E -----------5--------0--------------0--3--------1--------

Jonny does delayed scratching a lot and sometimes plays
little delayed licks on the 4th beat:

    4   +	    4   +
e -------	e -------
B -------	B --2-4-- - (discordant)
G --2-0--	G ---H---
D ---P---	D -------
A -------	A -------
E -------	E -------


CHORUS RIFF - 4/4:

Still playing triplets:

    1        2        3        4        1        2       (3)      (4)
e --------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------
G --------0--------0--------0--------0--------------
D -----1--------0--------5--------2-----2-----------
A --3--------1--------6--------3-----------3--2-----
E --------------------------------------------0--0--

Jonny does more delayed licks on the final 4th beat
of the above riff:
