PLACEBO - "burger queen" Tablature
Official PLACEBO Tablature & Sheet Music »
Artist: Placebo
Album: Without You I'm Nothing
Title: Burger Queen
Tabbed by: "Dora D" (seeking_dora@yahoo.com)
Here's Placebo's "Burger Queen" in standard tuning. Note that you must
place a capo on first fret, and all fret numbers in the tab do not account
for this (i.e. --1-- is played as open string because of the capo, and there
are no 0s (zeros) in the tab).

Simple.
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.
