Bank of America (04-06-2006)
Tabbed by Jonezy C (28-06-2006)
Standard Tuning (EADGBE)
This is an awesome song, but it's quite tricky in parts, the speed and rhythm is sometimes difficult to manipulate.
This is transcribed from the Bank of America perfomance, and i'm sure it is perfect.Ed does do a little fill near the
end of the song, but it's so easy to work out from listening to the song, that I've not bothered putting it in. Enjoy!

No Picture Adrian Lead Player	#1 by Adrian Ortega at Sep 28, 2007 at 11:28 PM EST
	I love this song. It's just so soothing and mellow. I can't wait to hear the album version (I pray it gets on).

No Picture kenzie Professional Badass	#2 by kenzie at Sep 28, 2007 at 11:47 PM EST
	I've been listening to this song on repeat, and i just can't get enough...even with the rough production values from the mp3s available you get an undeniable sense of what it will become. The immense sound of this song is staggering.

No Picture brock Average	#3 by brock someone at Sep 29, 2007 at 2:28 PM EST
	this song is going to be on the next album, i read that on atease.com its awesome though, the lyrics sound good to me, i think the next radiohead album is going to be the best album ever

No Picture jordan Average	#4 by jordan roberts at Sep 30, 2007 at 8:47 AM EST
	The full band version is even more amazing than the Ether Festival version. They've been playing it live recently.

No Picture Dusty Wanna Be	#5 by Dusty Delonge at Oct 1, 2007 at 1:44 AM EST
	I just heard this song yesterday. I agree completely with Shizima. The music in this song is absolutely beautiful. That's about all I can say.

No Picture jake Professional	#6 by jake burns at Oct 2, 2007 at 10:35 AM EST
	this song is very good! anyone have an mp3 of the new full band version?

No Picture dalton Average	#7 by dalton hoffman at Oct 2, 2007 at 1:04 PM EST
	http://www.nme.com/news/111840.htm This song was written by Johnny Greenwood, performed by the London Sinfonietta and was sung by Thom Yorke for the South Bank Ether Festival. There are a few recordings of Arpeggi around the internet - I found a link on http://www.ateaseweb.com so look there for this. Just a couple of things about the above lyrics - it's "phantoms" as opposed to "fantasies" (see half-way through) and the penultimate section ("in the bottom of...we fishies") should read: "Eaten by the worms And we’re fishies Picked over by the worms And we’re fishies We’re fishies We’re fishies"

No Picture Gabe Professional	#8 by Gabe Hawkins at Oct 3, 2007 at 10:31 AM EST
	Thom sings here about following someone and finally leaving with him and he describes it beatifully. I think i know what he means, but i aint gonna tell you that.This is incredibly relaxing like somebody said on 12-18-2005 12:19:24PM. Radiohead has the ability to make a beatiful song with any style they like. Think about it! How many beatiful arpeggi songs have heard before! I havent heard none, before this one. Excuse my english, by the way. Im finnish?

No Picture Carly Average	#9 by Carly at Oct 3, 2007 at 6:33 PM EST
	Stunning piece of work, I really hope this makes the album. It's very minimalist as well, and that's always a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

No Picture Mike Wanna Be	#10 by Mike Jeffries at Oct 3, 2007 at 6:53 PM EST
	I just realized that this sounds like Death Cab for Cutie's song, We Laugh indoors- the drum and bass part... anyone?

No Picture dalton Average	#11 by dalton hoffman at Oct 4, 2007 at 5:20 AM EST
	Fair enough. ;)

No Picture Ben Rhythm Player	#12 by Ben Jammin at Oct 5, 2007 at 9:25 AM EST
	it sounds like an unrealistic hope for salvation after a broken relationship, begging for and dreaming of a perfect place while getting tugged back into reality. the water imagery is apt- the music sounds like it immerses you...

No Picture bradley Wanna Be	#13 by bradley goodman at Oct 5, 2007 at 9:29 AM EST
	Oh my god, the new full band version is amazing. I did a rip of it here: http://rapidshare.de/files/20377401/Radiohead_-_Arpeggi.mp3.html enjoy. and this is just an mp3 of a live video circulating, so no this isn't piracy. this is for all fans of radiohead to enjoy.

No Picture Aleksandar Average	#14 by Aleksandar Radošević at Oct 7, 2007 at 12:20 PM EST
	Life is confusing, and our troubles and worries weigh heavy on us (in the deepest ocean...). We search for a desire or an obsession, a "worm" on a "hook", so often in the form of love (your eyes, they turn me) that will allow us to escape the bottom of the deep. Escape, though, is our own self-anihilation...I see this song as a modern "to be or not to be"...fantastic.

No Picture dylan Average	#15 by dylan markus at Oct 7, 2007 at 5:01 PM EST
	I think it's a track four, is Arpeggi. (The sombre song, e.g. Fake Plastic Trees/Exit Music/How To Disappear Completely/You And Whose Army/Barkdrifts)

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#16 by Matt Spencer at Oct 8, 2007 at 5:52 PM EST
	the musice is a bit like modern classical composers such as steve reich or philip glass but i'm sure by the time it gets on the album (let's hope so!) it will as with so many of their songs sound very different. from what we've heard so far i agree that it could be an awesome album

No Picture KELSO Wanna Be	#17 by KELSO Is a COOL kid at Oct 11, 2007 at 8:47 AM EST
	I love this goddamn song.

No Picture Forrest Average	#18 by Forrest at Oct 12, 2007 at 3:24 AM EST
	Rdec, thanks for the update. I edited your lyrics by taking out "the" in "eaten by the worms." It doesn't sound like he actually says "the" :) i will also host this song :) cheers! http://www.andrewrocks.com/musics/radiohead_arpeggi_live_ether_27_03_05.mp3

No Picture goofy Rhythm Player	#19 by goofy at Oct 12, 2007 at 10:19 AM EST
	the guy above described it beautifully. this truely is a wonderful song. i was blown away by it when i heard it. i cant wait to here the studio version of it. shall be breath-taking

No Picture MysticCat Wanna Be	#20 by MysticCat (Janis johnny Udodovs) at Oct 13, 2007 at 11:13 AM EST
	it's so beautiful. reminds me of No Surprises and Let Down but a little monotonous.

No Picture eric Rhythm Player	#21 by eric christian at Oct 13, 2007 at 4:21 PM EST
	Very, incredibly relaxing. Makes me feel like some noxious gas has flooded the room and I'm floating away. They should call this song "headache treatment" 'cuz that's what it is.

No Picture Subhash Average	#22 by Subhash Shady at Oct 15, 2007 at 10:56 AM EST
	wonderful clarity in blur deeps..lead by your expectations you follow without mentioning until you reach the edge.there is something,fishing.everbody has left,even your expectations and you are alone,an anxious fishie in the deep sea,you rather hit the bottom than being picked up by a fishing rod.one way or another,you`ll die.beautifully sad.

No Picture Emdizzy foshizz Lead Player	#23 by Emdizzy foshizzy at Oct 16, 2007 at 11:40 AM EST
	It is a love song. It is about a man who is feeling like he has nothing to live for, and he suddenly finds someone who 'turns him'... who wants to live again because he has found a new reason to carry on. He also says he will follow her wherever she goes, even if it meant he would die. It is the ultimate love song. He is also saying that has been plagued by the worm that eats at him from the inside out, because he had almost lost the hope of finding someone to be with. Oh, and it's 'i get eaten by the worms and weird fishes', not 'we're fishees', though that's cuter.

No Picture Josh Average	#24 by Josh Smith at Oct 17, 2007 at 6:35 AM EST
	this is so amazingly beautiful song. the music is absolutely perfect and thom sings it so beautifully. i see the lyrics as another romanticised view of suicide and suicide&love.

No Picture Secondhand Smok Wanna Be	#25 by Secondhand Smoka at Oct 18, 2007 at 7:30 AM EST
	The lyrics are great, but the backing music just doesnt seem that good. At least theyve got a good long while to work on it before the next album.
