Placebo - Bigmouth Strikes Again

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Capo on 4th fret. 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.
