Song

PLACEBO:LADY OF THE FLOWERS:  Use normal tunning throughout the song.

The beginning isn't note perfect but is very close to the original.

Beginning:

G----------17--18--17-------------17--18--17----------
D------15-----------------------15--------------------8---
A--16-----------------------16-----------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------6----
G--18 let ring..---17--------------17--18--17-----------
D--15 let ring..----------------15-------------------8-----
A--13 let ring..-----------16-------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------6-----

Verse:

G--18--17-------------17--18--17-------------
D-------------------15-------------------8------
A---------------16------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------6------

          Scuse    me,      I     must   etc......

Keep repeating the verse until the guy stops speaking and start the

part below just before Brian starts singing and also when he is

singing.

Pre-Chorus:

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------------------

A--------------------------------------------------------------------

E--2--2---2--2---2-2-2--/--6 let ring........--6--6---6---6-6-6-

On the last time round before the guy starts speaking again and when

Brian sings " Into her hypnotic gaze", play;

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------------------

A--------------------------------------------------------------------

E--2--2---2--2---2-2--/--12---6 let ring....----------------------

Next play the beginning bit until the guy stops speaking and then

play the pre-chorus and the bit above when the pre chorus ends. After

this it gets heavier/rockier (whatever....).

Chorus 1:

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------------------

A--9-9--9-9--9-9-9---8--8-8--8--8-8-8---9-9--9-9--9-9-9---

E--------------------------------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------------------

A-----------------------9-9--9-9--9-9-9---8--8-8--8--8-8-8----
E--9--9-9--9--9-9-9-----------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------------------

A--9-9--9-9--9-9-9------------------------------------------------

E-----------------------6 let ring...--------------------------------

Next part is where the guy speaks again so just simply play the

beginnning part again.  After this play the pre-chorus until Brian

finishes singing " In her electronic haze ".  go into chours type 2

after that.

Chorus ( Type 2 ):

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------------------

A--9-9--9-9--9-9-9---8--8-8--8--8-8-8---9-9--9-9--9-9-9----

E--------------------------------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------------------

A-----------------------9-9--9-9--9-9-9---8--8-8--8--8-8-8----
E--9--9-9--9--9-9-9-----------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------------------

A--9-9--9-9--9-9-9--------------------------------------9-9--9-9
E-----------------------9--9--9--9--9-9-9--/--16-16-------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------------------

A--9-9-9---8--8-8--8--8-8-8---9-9--9-9--9-9-9----------------
E-------------------------------------------------------9-9--9-9---

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D--------------------------------------------------------------------

A-----------------------9-9--9-9--9-9-9---8--8-8--8--8-8-8---
E--9-9-9--/--16-16------------------------------------------------

G--------------------------------------------------------------------

D-----------------------8--8---15--15---11--11------------------
A--9-9--9-9--9-9-9------------------------------------------------

E--------------------------------------------------------------------

After that rather short chorus type 2, repeat the beginning until the

song stops ( listen to how many times Stef plays it to get it right

).  During the parts where the guy speaks I said use the beginning,

using the verse which I wrote works just as well so don't get muddled

on that part. Have fun!
