Man of War - Radiohead (12-String Acoustic Cover)

One of my favourite Radiohead songs to play; the original recording just has that sense of a "spy" feel to it (Thom Yorke has said that it was an homage to James Bond themes).

Interestingly, Radiohead actually submitted "Man of War" for the 2015 James Bond film Spectre, but it was rejected as it had not been written for the film (Sam Mendes said "you want to feel like it's written just for the movie").

It remained unreleased until 2017, when it was included on the OK Computer reissue OKNOTOK 1997 2017.

Here's my stripped back 12-string acoustic version of it, I hope you enjoy! And as always, if you liked watching, please like and subscribe for more content.

Lyrics

Drift all you like
From ocean to ocean
Search the whole world
But drunken confessions
And hijacked affairs
Will just make you more alone

When you come home
I'll bake you a cake
Made of all their eyes
I wish you could see me
Dressed for the kill
You're my man of war
You're my man of war

And the worms will come for you
Big boots
Yeah, yeah, yeah

So unplug the phones
Stop all the taps
It all comes flooding back
From poisoned cloud
And poisoned dwarf
You're my man of war
You're my man of war

And the worms will come for you
Big boots
Yeah, the worms will come for you
Big boots
For you
Big boots
