Happy Idiot by Tv On The Radio Standard tuning, no capo required. This is another super catchy song from TVotR. The tab I've written up is different to what they play. This is because the guitar for the most part is plain. There were only chords and a bass tab on here for this track so I thought it would be worth adding a proper guitar tab. I tried my best to line the lyrics up with the chords. Chord changes have also been spaced in a way that will hopefully make them easier to read too. So please, don't rate this based on how identical it is to what is actually played. Rate it based on quality :) ================================================================================================ >> Verse 1 << (the 2/5 and 7/4 slides are very fast, more like an
