	        TUNING: STANDARD TUNING 

* cAPO ON 4TH * 

This is a great cover of an already good Smiths song.  Tuning is normal, but 
the version I tabbed here has a .  Some other Placebo songs 
are played like that and without the Capo there would be some pretty nasty 
Barre chords so I guess that Placebo themselves use a capo.  Anyways enjoy! 

:: CHORDS 

NOTE - 0 means open string, so technically its 4th fret, but that just confusing.

:: Lyrics 

Sweetness 
sweetness I was only joking when I said 
I'd like to smash every tooth in your head. 
Oh sweetness 
sweetness I was only joking when I said 
by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed. 

And now I know how joan of arc felt 
now I know how joan of arc felt 
as the flames rose to her roman nose 
and her discman started to melt 

Bigmouth la da dum da da 
bigmouth blabbing it all, bigmouth strikes again 
and I've got no right to take my place 
in the human race 
Oh 
bigmouth la da dum da da 
bigmouth blabbing it all 
bigmouth strikes again 
and I've got no right to take my place 
in the human race 

And now I know how joan of arc felt 
now I know how joan of arc felt 
as the flames rose to her roman nose 
and her megadrive started to melt 

Bigmouth la da dum da da 
bigmouth blabbing it all 
bigmouth strikes again 
and I've got no right to take my place 
in the human race 
Oh 
bigmouth la da dum da da 
bigmouth blabbing it all bigmouth strikes again 
and I've got no right to take my place 
in the human race.
