   Tuning ¤ Ab-Ab-Ab-Ab-B-Db (sick!)

            E - 1 and a 1/2 step down    (to Db)
            B - stays where it should be (the B)
            G - 1/2 step up              (to Ab)
            D - 2 and a 1/2 step down    (to Ab)
            A - 1/2 step down            (to Ab)
            E - 2 and a 1/2 step up      (to Ab)

   Explanation for the Brian's sick tuning: there is no logical explanation. If
   any of you know who's idea it was, let me know. Although, the tuning is very
   good to play; and you don't have to worry for the low E string to pop up, as
   I was. Placebo rulz. While I'm here, I'm just gonna say, in fact, write what
   Placebo's frontman Brian Molko said about their tuning in one interview:

     "We also tune our guitars to F, B Flat, E Flat, A Flat, C, C because that
     suits my voice better," continues Molko. "Tuning the top two strings to C
     adds a shimmering resonance, and we never play solos where we need a high
     -E string anyway." -Kyle Swenson (journalist)

   So, there you go. Now it's official; this is the real Placebo's tuning. But,
   they don't use it on every song. Definitely not on this one...

================================================================================

   I named parts of the song as riffs #x, 'cuz it's hard to tell which is what.
   The "|" mark bellow the tab shows the time. And one more thing: I'm not 100%
   sure for the riffs #2 and #3 so correct me if you know the right way to play
   it. The timings "[x:xx]" is for the cutted version ([4:53]), and not for the
   real one, which is [22:24]. But I'm sure you'll get it.
