any guitarists like myself trying to tab out songs like BYVE, reverse running and JJE? any progress?

Nevermind, turns out the lyrics sheet is actually too big for my scanner

But from looking at it, OP is mostly right except for a few minor errors, I'll quote first then put the corrections underneath:

 

Ingenue

 

 

If I am not there physically

I am before you

 

 

 

If I'm not there now physically

I'm always before you

 

 

Just give me more

I hope and I pray

Mistake all you say

 

 

 

Just give me more time

I hope and pray

I mistake all you say

 

 

Dropped

 

 

went deep down wandering and stumbling

Amok - There's a few errors, and I know Thom repeats a few of the lines here and there, but I can't be arsed to listen to the song and write them all down so I'm just gonna type it out straight from the lyrics sheet.

 

 

 

A penny for your thoughts my love

A swinging door

A penny for your thoughts

They try to jump me

A penny for your thoughts my love

They're spaghetti

They possess me

 

I'm trying to be a thought killer

They come back to bite me

A penny for your thoughts my love

They court disaster

I'm trying to be a thought killer

A penny for your thoughts my love

You'll forget me

I'm trying to be a thought killer

A penny for your thoughts

 

They distract me

A penny for your thoughts my love

I'm sending out choirs of angels

Tying round pieces of string

To run amok

Run amok

Run amok

To run amok

You got me

You got me back

To bite me

A penny for your thoughts

 

 

 

 

So yeah, aside from those tiny bits everything else is right. Those are the official lyrics. Yes, "They're spaghetti" is an OFFICIAL lyric.

are the stuck together lyrics accurate?

[Jordasm]

It's 'JUST tell us where the money is'

But otherwise yeah it's all good. Just one word missing that's all. Everything else is right

thanks very much

It's cool that they release all the lyrics up front, we'd probably be guessing them for the next decade if not

thanks for posting. I was wondering where warren's been in all this. usually he's the first to post a cover of any new yorke release. I just did as he instructed and tuned my G string down to an F, upstroking and pulling off (I think it sounds better than downstroking) to hear that open F between the frets he marked and it sounds about right. I'm also going along with thom's hand movements in the youtube video of him playing it live with nigel at oval, london, though it's hard to make out being that they were completely cloaked in darkness when he performed. after a few minutes of fiddling with it, I'm pretty sure this is how he plays it. 

JJE seems to be in DADFAD tuning where the F's tuned down again. I wonder if thom just decided to stay in this tuning for the whole album. 

now onto BYVE.
