Song lyrics:
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:

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--

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!!
