PLACEBO - "special k" Tablature
Official PLACEBO Tablature & Sheet Music »
Special K by Placebo in normal tuning
I found that over the inet in some wierd thing they call standard Placebo tuning(FCG#EbBbF#), which basically means that all string except the 6th are tuned up a semitone, the 6th is 1.5 tones higher. Having just visited the Placebo concert I decided to retab it to normal tuning. you may need to put a capo on the first fret.

Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
More than just a leitmotif
More chaotic, no relief
I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
Can this saviour be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity, no escaping
Not for free
I fall down, hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around
I'll describe the way I feel
You're my new achille's heel
Can this saviour be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like Special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity, no escaping
Not for free
I fall down, hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around
No escaping, gravity
