Most of the Planet Telex tabs I've seen on the web aren't really fun to play. This is in my 
opinion a much better take on the song. It sounds great solo and you can get into it (almost)
as much as Thom does. If you watch Radiohead play telex live, this is more what it looks 
(and sounds like)

Intro:

I have transcribed it without any delay (simply since I don't have one), but these are the 
chords I use. I usually let all six strings ring out, but this is again your preference. The 
strumming etc is also left up to you. There's plenty of room for improvization.


    E     A         E7/A  Am

e---0-----x---------0-----x---------
B---1-----5---------0-----0---------
G---2-----6---------5-----5--------- 
D---2-----7---------0-----7---------
A---0-----7---------5-----7---------
E---0-----5---------x-----5---------   

The middle strings should be voiced louder, both in the intro and verse, since thats where 
most of the changes are. 

Verse:

"You can force it but it will not come..."
 
    Bsus4   B       Bm      B

e---0-------0-------0-------0-------                                     -0-
B---0-------0-------0-------0-------                                     -0-
G---9-------8-------7-------8------- x 2                                 -7-
D---9-------9-------9-------9------- Sometimes I let the A ring out      -9-
A---9-------9-------9-------9-------                                     -0-
E---7-------7-------7-------7-------                                     -7-

"You can crush it but it's always here..."

D---7-------7-------7-------7------- (All these chords are sus2)
A---0-------0-------0-------0-------

Chorus:

    E5      EMaj7   E7      EMaj7

This is a solo version so I'm not going to put Jonny's parts in, except this one since it is 
prominent and can be played along with the chords

e---0-----0---------2-----0-------      ---------------------------------
B-----0-----2---------3-----1-0h1p0     ---5-----5---------7-----5-------
G-1-----2-----2--s4-----2---------      -----4-----6---------7-----5-4h5p4
D---------------------------------  or  -6-----7-----7---9-----7---------
A---------------------------------      ---------------------------------
E---------------------------------      ---------------------------------
