About these chord names. The chord shown is the composite chord β€” what the rhythm guitar, lead, keys, and bass sound together. The guitar is frequently a power chord or suspension; the upper voicing or the vocal supplies the tone that decides the chord quality. Use the toggle to read in letters, Nashville numbers, or Roman numerals relative to each song's key.

15 Step Lyrics
The opening track to In Rainbows builds from an electronic beat to a full band number with warm guitar tones and propelling bass.

Lyrically, it’s a song about love and betrayal, as well as the repetition of…

[Chorus]
How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out, then you cut the string
How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
First you reel me out and then you cut the string
[Verse 1]
You used to be alright, what happened?
Did the cat get your tongue?
Did your string come undone?
One by one
One by one
It comes to us all
It's as soft as your pillow
[Verse 2]
You used to be alright, what happened?
Et cetera, et cetera
Fads for whatever (
Yay!
)
Fifteen steps, then a sheer drop
[Interlude]
(
Yay! Yay!
)
[Chorus]
How come I end up where I started?
How come I end up where I went wrong?
Won't take my eyes off the ball again
You reel me out, then you cut the string

Radiohead β€” 02 Bodysnatchers

key: D
Source: Moises chord analysis from htdemucs_6s stems. Key: D major/modal, 4:01.
Verse and chorus are D power chord static (ambiguous major/minor). Bridge drops to Gm-Dm-Am.
One of Radiohead's most riff-driven songs β€” the chord progression IS the riff.

Chord Vocabulary

Key: D modal (ambiguous Mixolydian / Dorian β€” major scale with minor borrowings).

  • **D** = I (tonic power chord β€” holds through all verses and choruses; mode intentionally unresolved)
  • **Gm** = bIV minor (borrowed flat minor four β€” arrives at 2:07 bridge, dark shift from the D lockdown)
  • **Dm** = i parallel (parallel minor tonic β€” alternates with Gm in the bridge, confirms the modal ambiguity)
  • **Am** = v (minor dominant β€” bridge passing chord; never fully resolves to D)
  • **G** = IV (major four β€” appears at 3:03, brief clarity before the return to D)
  • **Bm** = vi (brief at 3:29, only occurrence)
  • Bodysnatchers' harmonic story is restraint then collapse: eight minutes of D holding the room, followed by a bridge that opens every locked door at once (Gm-Dm-Am), then slams back to D for the outro. The riff is the chord.

    (single repeated guitar riff β€” D power chord, no other harmonic content)

    I have no idea what I am talking about
    D
    I am trapped in this body and can't get out

    It is the twenty-first century
    Gm           Dm
    It can follow you like a dog

    It brought me to my knees
    Gm                   Dm
    They got a skin and they put me in
    Gm                   Dm
    They got a skin and they put me in
    Am                      Gm

    Am                      Gm
    On the lines wrapped 'round my face

    And for anyone else to see
    Dm              G
    And for anyone else to see

    I'm a lie

    Radiohead β€” 03 Nude

    key: E
    Source: Moises chord analysis from htdemucs_6s stems. Key: E major (Moises agree), 4:14.
    Main motion: E – G#m – A – B (I – iii – IV – V). Extremely sparse, one chord per phrase.
    Outro breaks modal with Am (parallel iv). Alignment is bar-approximate.

    Chord Vocabulary

    Key: E major. Scale: E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, D#

  • **E** = I (tonic β€” the arrival chord; every resolution lands here)
  • **G#m** = iii (mediant minor β€” the brooding inner voice chord, holds tension without resolving)
  • **A** = IV (subdominant β€” the lift chord; "don't get any big ideas" lands here)
  • **B** = V (dominant β€” the push chord; "you've gone off the rails" peaks here)
  • **C#m** = vi (relative minor β€” shared with G#m as a darker color)
  • **Am** = iv (parallel minor subdominant β€” borrowed, appears only in the outro as a Radiohead "wrong note" that sounds right)
  • Primary motion: **A β†’ C#m β†’ B β†’ G#m** (vocal phrase spans IV-vi-V-iii), with **E** as the tonic home the song never quite commits to landing on until the final bars. The outro's shift to Am signals collapse of the major frame.

    Radiohead β€” 04 Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

    key: Em
    Source: Moises chord analysis from htdemucs_6s stems. Key: E minor (Moises agree), 5:18.
    Main arpeggio loop: Em – F#m – A (i – ii – IV). Outro builds through Bm – G – B (iv – bIII – V).
    The song never fully resolves β€” it builds to an "escape" that lands on G and fades.

    Chord Vocabulary

    Key: E minor. Scale: E, F#, G, A, B, C, D

  • **Em** = i (tonic minor β€” the floor the arpeggios circle over)
  • **F#m** = ii (supertonic minor β€” the restless middle chord, never lands, always pointing forward)
  • **A** = IV (major subdominant β€” the one major chord in the core loop, the brief light)
  • **G** = bIII (borrowed relative major β€” the "weird" chord, appears in bridges and outro)
  • **Bm** = v (minor dominant β€” the outro revelation chord; when Bm arrives at 3:09 the bottom drops out)
  • **B** = V (major dominant β€” the final cadential force, "hit the bottom and escape")
  • Primary arpeggio loop (repeats throughout verses): **Em β†’ F#m β†’ A** (alternates 2Γ— then resets). Chorus is a sustained Em wash. Outro escalates Em – Bm – G – B before the fade.

    [Verse 1 β€” 0:00]

    Radiohead β€” 05 All I Need

    key: Em
    Source: Moises chord analysis from htdemucs_6s stems. Key: E minor (Moises), 3:48.
    Verse: C – E (bVI – I Picardy) oscillation. Outro: Em – G – C descending.
    The song is one of the album's most harmonically compressed β€” two-chord shuttle through most of the runtime.

    Chord Vocabulary

    Key: E minor. Scale: E, F#, G, A, B, C, D

  • **C** = bVI (flat sixth β€” the main verse chord; dark, ambiguous, holds without resolving)
  • **E** = I Picardy (tonic major β€” Moises reads it as E major; the bright counterpart to C)
  • **Em** = i (tonic minor β€” appears only in the outro, confirming the minor key when the song opens up)
  • **G** = bIII (relative major β€” bridges C and Em in the outro)
  • **Dm** = bVII minor (brief color, outro's final descent)
  • The C β†’ E shuttle that runs through both verse sections is harmonically ambiguous by design: C major makes E minor sound like a borrowed Picardy, and E major makes C sound like a borrowed bVI from A major. "All I Need" β€” the lyric β€” arrives when the chords commit to nothing. The outro's shift to Em – G – C is the only moment of true tonic clarity on the track.

    Radiohead β€” 06 Faust Arp

    key: G
    Source: Moises chord analysis from htdemucs_6s stems. Key: G major (Moises agree), 2:07.
    Acoustic guitar + strings, rapid chromatic passing. Primary motion: Bm/B β†’ G chromatic descent.
    Two-verse structure with chorus, extremely compressed harmonic vocabulary.

    Chord Vocabulary

    Key: G major. Scale: G, A, B, C, D, E, F#

  • **G** = I (tonic β€” arrival point after chromatic motion)
  • **Bm** = iii (mediant minor β€” the brooding opening chord)
  • **B** = III (Picardy on Bm β€” the Bm briefly lit major, signals the downward motion)
  • **D#/Eb** = bVI (chromatic flat sixth β€” borrowed, creates the "falling dominoes" color)
  • **Gm** = i parallel (borrowed parallel minor tonic β€” the moment of true darkness)
  • **F** = bVII (borrowed leading tone β€” descends to Gm/G)
  • **C** = IV (subdominant β€” the chorus resolution point)
  • **Em** = vi (relative minor, brief passing color)
  • The song's architecture is descent: Bm opens each verse, the chromatic middle passage drops through D#–G–Gm–F, and the chorus surfaces on C–G before the Gm/F coda pulls back under. Every chord movement in Faust Arp is going somewhere down.

    Radiohead β€” 07 Reckoner

    key: Em
    Source: Moises chord analysis from htdemucs_6s stems. Key: E minor, 4:49.
    Main verse loop: Em – D – C (i – bVII – bVI), Aeolian descending motion.
    Bridge "Because we separate": Em – Am – B (i – iv – V), classical minor cadence.
    Outro dissolves to Am – Em. Album title chord is Em β†’ Am at 4:06.

    Chord Vocabulary

    Key: E minor / E Aeolian. Scale: E, F#, G, A, B, C, D

  • **Em** = i (tonic minor β€” every phrase opens and closes here; the reckoner always returns)
  • **D** = bVII (flat seventh β€” the modal connector; descends from Em toward C)
  • **C** = bVI (flat sixth β€” the dark arrival point; pairs with Em as the two-chord anchor)
  • **Am** = iv (minor subdominant β€” the album-title chord; "In rainbows" releases here)
  • **B** = V (major dominant β€” the only major dominant in the song; the "blank shore" chord)
  • **A** = IV major (brief passing major four, color only)
  • Primary verse loop: **Em β†’ D β†’ C β†’ Em** (i – bVII – bVI – i). This is textbook Aeolian modal rock β€” the same descending stepwise motion as "Stairway to Heaven" compressed into a 4-bar shuttle. The bridge breaks the pattern for the only time with a real V chord (B major), making "blank shore" the harmonic peak of the whole album.

    Main verse: Dm – Gm (i – iv). Chorus adds F – Bb (bIII – bVI).
    Long outro: Gm – F – Dm cycling, gradually stripping to bass and piano alone.

    Chord Vocabulary

  • **F** = bIII (relative major β€” the one lift chord; "forget about your house of cards" surfaces here)
  • **Bb/A#** = bVI (flat sixth β€” borrowed warmth, appears in chorus and outro)
  • **Fm** = i parallel minor lowered (brief chromatic color, 2:39)
  • **A** = V major (cadential β€” appears only once at 5:22, the only proper dominant on the track)
  • The harmonic architecture is restraint: Dm and Gm trade for nearly three minutes before the chorus opens to F and Bb. The A major at the very end (5:22) is the only dominant cadence in the entire track β€” five and a half minutes of avoiding resolution, then a single bar of V that fades before it can land.

    Radiohead β€” 09 Jigsaw Falling Into Place

    key: Bm
    Source: Moises chord analysis from htdemucs_6s stems. Key: B minor (Moises agree), 4:08.
    Primary shuttle: Bm – Em (i – iv). Chorus adds D – F# – G (III – V – bVI) for the lift.
    Relentless pulse. No real resolution β€” the jigsaw lands on Bm and stays there.

    Chord Vocabulary

    Key: B minor. Scale: B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A

  • **Bm** = i (tonic minor β€” the relentless returning anchor; almost every phrase ends here)
  • **Em** = iv (minor subdominant β€” oscillates with Bm through all verses; "before" lines land here)
  • **D** = III (relative major β€” appears in build-ups and chorus surges)
  • **F#** = V (major dominant β€” the sharpest tension chord; "wish away the nightmare" peaks here)
  • **G** = bVI (borrowed flat sixth β€” the surprise lift in the chorus; "you got the light" lands here)
  • **A** = bVII (borrowed leading tone β€” passing color in bridge-area)
  • Primary shuttle: **Bm ↔ Em** (i↔iv), unresolved oscillation through both long verses. Chorus breaks the pattern with D – F# – G – Bm, the closest thing to a cadence in the song. The final Bm after "your jigsaw falling into place" is the only real downbeat.

    Radiohead β€” 10 Videotape

    key: C#m
    Source: Moises chord analysis from htdemucs_6s stems. Key: C# minor, 4:41.
    Intro: C# (Picardy) – E – A figure. Body: A – C#m two-chord loop (bVI – i), 70+ bars.
    Outro: C#m – E – F#m – C#m (i – bIII – iv – i). Final chord held 18 seconds.
    The album's closing track. One of the most harmonically still songs Radiohead ever recorded.

    Chord Vocabulary

    Key: C# minor. Scale: C#, D#, E, F#, G#, A, B

  • **C#m** = i (tonic minor β€” every lyric lands here; the final destination)
  • **A** = bVI (flat sixth β€” the loop partner to C#m; "in red, blue, green" sits here)
  • **E** = bIII (relative major β€” brief lift; the Picardy-adjacent color)
  • **C#** = I Picardy (major tonic β€” intro only; announces the key before the minor sets in)
  • **F#m** = iv (minor subdominant β€” outro only; the final deepening before the last C#m)
  • **Am** = bVI parallel (brief passing β€” one occurrence at 0:44)
  • The motion from the intro C# Picardy into the A – C#m loop is the whole song's arc in miniature: a brief major light, then 3+ minutes of A and C#m trading in near-silence. The outro's F#m arrival at 3:09 is the only new chord in the entire second half. The final C#m held for 18 seconds is the last sound on the album.
