Burger Queen Tabs

(ver. 1)
Placebo
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.

e |---------------------------|---------------------------|
b |---------------------------|---------------------------|
g |---------------------------|---------------------------|
D |-10--10--11--10------10-\2-|-2---2-2/6-6---6-6---6---1-|
A |-1---1---1---1-------1-----|-1---1-1---1---1-1---1---1-|

    backing riff on the chorus bit ("makes no sense at all....")

e |----------------|-----------|
b |----------------|-8---------|

       let it all ring.... it's a real stretch! :)

A |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
E |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|


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:

e |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
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 |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
D |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
A |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|
E |---------------------------------|---------------------------------|

then play RIFF 4...

Simple.
