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).

RIFF 1:
main riff played all the way through the verses.

RIFF 5:
interlude riff... you can probrably figure it out for yourself.
just play this quietly a few times, bringing in a harmonized version
an octave lower:

b |-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|
g |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
D |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
A |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
E |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|

then play RIFF 3....... then play this different version of RIFF 3...

e |-8-8-8-6---6-6-6-----------------|-8-8-8-6---6-6-6-6-8-8-9-9-8-8-6-|
b |-----------------9-9-9-8---6-6-6-|---------------------------------|
g |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|

then play RIFF 4...

Simple.
