Then... well... just play frets 0 or 12 or 19 on any strings, and add
some notes in slides on the three first strings... I can't tell...
Anyway, don't bother, your audience is deaf now...

Notes :
The strumming is approximative.
It's probably not the correct fingering. It's hard to tell because the strings
are the same pitch. Just find the fingering that you like... it don't matter.
If you see Placebo live, watch out at the end of the concert...if you can :)
The tuning used in this song is the same as in 'Swallow' from first album. (Ab Ab Ab Ab B C#)
(from a standard tuning (EADGBE), tune strings in order up, down, DOWN, up, -, down).
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.
