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: 

G-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
D--------------3-3-3--3-3-3------------------------------------------ 
A---------------------------------------------2-2-2--2-2-2----------- 
E--1-1-1-1-1------------------1-1-1-1-1------------------------------ 

G-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
D-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-------------- 
E-------------------------------------------------------------------- 

G-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
D-------------------------------------------3-3-3--3-3-3------------- 
A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4-------------------------------------------------- 
E-----------------------------1-1-1-1-1--------------------1-1-1-1-1- 

G-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
D-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
A--2-2-2--2-2-2---4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4---------------- 
E-------------------------------------------------------------------- 

G-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
D-------------------------------------------------------------------- 
A--4-4-4-4--4-4-4-4---6 po 4 ho 6 po 4 ho 6 po 4 ho 6 po 4 
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-- 

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---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--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!!
