PLACEBO:BRUISE PRISTINE: A marathon of a tab here, sorry for it
being soooooo long but you can't really tab it over a short space.
Come in after Brian finishes his little beginning bit;
Verse:
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------3-3-3--3-3-3------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------2-2-2--2-2-2-----------

A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4---6 po 4 ho 6 po 4 ho 6 po 4 ho 6 po 4
E--------------------------------------------------------------------
Play that bit through when Brian sings but on the second time end up
by strumming the 4th fret on the A string instead of hammering on and
off the 6th and 4th frets. ( oh, by the way, po= pull off, ho=
hammer on ).
Chorus:
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------
E--1-1--2-2-2---3-3-3--4-4-4---1-1--2-2-2---3-3-3--4-4-4--
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8--9-9-9---10-10-10--11-11-11---4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4----
E--------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4---8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--
E--------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------
After the chorus, go into the verse and end up before the chorus
strumming the 4th fret ( A string ) instead of hammering on and off
the 6th and 4th frets.
Go into the next chorus after doing the verse;
Chorus:
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------
E--1-1--2-2-2---3-3-3--4-4-4-4---1-1--2-2-2---3-3-3--4-4-4-
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8--9-9-9---10-10-10--11-11-11---4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4----
E--------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4----------------------------------------------
E-------------------------1------------------------------------------
Next bit is where Brian plays on taught strings below the bridge
doing another weird solo;
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--7-/-8------------------------------------------------------8-----
E-----------------9---------8 ho 9-----------9--9---8--------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------7 ho 8---------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------9-------------8 ho 9----9--9---8--------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A---------7-/-8-----------------------------------------------------
E----1-------------------------8 ho 9--------8 ho 9-------9-----1-
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A-------------7-/-8-------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------8 ho 9-----------8 ho 9----------
After that part ( which may not be perfect ) it speeds up and Brian
shouts something which echoes out gradually. The next part goes;
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--
E--------------------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--8-8-8-8--8-8-8-8--------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat that part again and after it do the normal verse and that up
again by strumming the 4th fret A string again before going into the
the first type of chorus, or the other. If you listen to it you
should get it. I like this song but tabbing it out, putting it in
order, doing alternative choruses and verses for this song have
caused me to listen to this song around 15 times to get it this
good!!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PLACEBO tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
